Welcome to the 2004 LCA conference CD. This CD was prepared by taking all of the web pages that people had put up about the various conferences , linking them together, and adding in all of the conference papers that I could find. We got as many as we could, but unfortunately not all of them.

If you wish to look at a conference paper , just click on the link for the title of that paper. If there is a speex recording of the speaker's voice for that talk , then its link will be called "speex recording" in the same table cell.

Here is the online location of the contents of this disk. If any more conference papers are found, you will find them there.

If you want to get hold of speex binaries for windows, then you can grab them here. There is also a speex xmms plugin available.

Photos of the event were taken by many people.

Assembled by Jason King
