Robert McLay spoke in the HPC, Big Data and Data Science devroom at FOSDEM 2021 on XALT, which records what actually runs on a cluster by attaching to nearly every binary — and on what breaks when you do that, from missing host libraries inside containers to syslog messages that are too large. Video2Any stepped through the 29-minute recording and kept 23 clean frames, one per slide change, and set aside 7 more that were not slides: a black screen and the speaker's camera during the Q&A at the end. Every image below is real output, extracted in a browser tab with nothing uploaded.

FAQ
- Are these the real slides?
- Yes — frames from the published recording, one per slide change. FOSDEM publishes its 2021 recordings under CC BY 2.0 BE, which permits reuse with credit; we credit FOSDEM and link the original above.
- Fewer than one slide a minute — is that all of them?
- It is what the speaker showed. This gallery ranges from 0.4 slides a minute to 3.0, all from the same detector; the count follows the presenter rather than a setting.
- Can I do this with a talk I have?
- Yes. The first 30 minutes of every video are free. Drop the recording in and Video2Any detects each slide and exports an .pptx or PDF in your browser, with nothing uploaded.
