I'd love copies, thanks.

I'm happy to stick both on landley.net/talks and link to them there from 
the toybox about.html page, if you can point me at somewhere to wget 
them from.

I have local mirrors of most of the videos (the mp3 are public, the 
videos usually aren't unless there isn't another source, but there's 
celf-2013.mp4 and toyvsbusy.mp4 from 2019 in that directory in case 
youtube implodes and/or finally kills off yt-dl). Alas the only one from 
that year I got a copy of was jcore-2015.mp4.

You should inform Tim Bird. I'll cc: him on this reply.

Ooh, the one I've REALLY wanted to point people at was Vitaly Wool's 
"linux for microcontrollers" talk. I was in the audience for that one 
live, he got nommu Linux to boot on a system with executable flash and 
256k (kilobytes!) of sram:

(There used to be an index of elc 2015 videos on elinux.org, but either 
the page was deleted off the wiki, or google can no longer find it. Coin 
flip...)

Thanks. I apologize for https://landley.net/notes.html#14-11-2024 
continuing into the present. Alas, 
https://www.antipope.org/charlie/blog-static/2025/02/apologia.html 
pretty much applies here too. :(
