After an initial brief period of technical difficulties with the audio; I thought the presentation was not only well -presented and interesting, but that it also offered a lot of useful and new information, as well. Thanks again for this well-received yearly event, Suzanne: keep up the good work!

Time	From	To	Content
14:25 Jun 6, 2014	Henry Dotterer: 1	All	more editing jobs for us :)
14:25 Jun 6, 2014	Peter Motte: 30753	All	BTW: the people from DV could tell that me that if you use the MT client from Google Translate, the part for which you use GT is of course send to Google. That means I would certainly advice against using GT MT when doing a pretranslate, because you might send your whole text to GT. That's a serious breach of the NDA.
14:25 Jun 6, 2014	Lucia Leszinsky: 855539	All	So, should we --if we have not already-- prepare ourselves better to offer editing services?
14:26 Jun 6, 2014	Peter Motte: 30753	All	My idea is we're already doing editing if we use CAT tools. So I don't expect a drastic change, only a gradual change.
14:27 Jun 6, 2014	Piero Intonti: 679522	All	I totally agree with you Peter.
14:27 Jun 6, 2014	Peter Motte: 30753	All	Actually, information technology always is about gradual changes. It only looks as if it our drastic changes, because it's only after a certain time of development that the general audiances discovers it.
14:27 Jun 6, 2014	Henry Dotterer: 1	All	interesting point Peter, remember NDA!
14:29 Jun 6, 2014	Peter Motte: 30753	All	Virtual conferences like this one also exist since a long time, but I didn't join because the connections and programs weren't good enough yet. I tried it some years ago, and I didn't use it again. But this year I used it for a client, for an online meeting, and it worked very well. That's one of the reasons I joined this conference afterwards. The advantages to live conferences are big, for me it feels as a drastic change, but it was in the making since, maybe, 10 years or so.
14:31 Jun 6, 2014	Henry Dotterer: 1	All	And the normal conferences continue existing! :)
14:31 Jun 6, 2014	Lucia Leszinsky: 855539	All	Right, and both have advantages and disadvantages
14:32 Jun 6, 2014	Piero Intonti: 679522	All	I agree Peter, It's like as anyone has a different starting point, and few reachs the same point.
14:32 Jun 6, 2014	Peter Motte: 30753	All	Cetainly in these days, with online work, apps (are always only), the mistakes in OpenSSL and some names I don't mention, we should certainly be carefully not to install leaks which lead to breaches of the NDA's. It's not as if we have some package of paper in a closet which only a burglar can get his hands on.
14:33 Jun 6, 2014	Lucia Leszinsky: 855539	All	I remember having a similar discussion on MT a few years ago and I remember the feeling was that MT was the worst thing ever invented.
14:33 Jun 6, 2014	Peter Motte: 30753	All	I meant of course: apps (are always online)
14:33 Jun 6, 2014	Lucia Leszinsky: 855539	All	Today, we wre able to see some of its advantages and in a way show that we acknowledge its existence positively
14:33 Jun 6, 2014	Lucia Leszinsky: 855539	All	that's a change
14:34 Jun 6, 2014	Peter Motte: 30753	All	Mmm... it might put us out of a job at a certain moment. But it will happen gradually. It means, in my view, that you shouldn't go about telling people to become a translator.
14:34 Jun 6, 2014	Piero Intonti: 679522	All	I agree with Lucia, the cloud security and privacy is a real issue.
14:36 Jun 6, 2014	César Yamandú Sánchez Franco: 35323	All	each invention was a worry, even things as common as the car...
14:38 Jun 6, 2014	Piero Intonti: 679522	All	I agree with Cesar
14:38 Jun 6, 2014	Peter Motte: 30753	All	We are in the cloud at the moment. I might have done my first translations in the cloud in 2005. That's almost 10 years ago. So it's really old for me, and that translation agency was on the brink of new things. But, guess what: I almost never get a job from them, and not because they don't want too. For some or other reasons, their clients went away.
14:38 Jun 6, 2014	César Yamandú Sánchez Franco: 35323	All	and Microsoft is pushing the cloud, office and all kind of systems in the cloud...
14:39 Jun 6, 2014	César Yamandú Sánchez Franco: 35323	All	VPNs
14:40 Jun 6, 2014	César Yamandú Sánchez Franco: 35323	All	Smartcards to control the access
14:40 Jun 6, 2014	Peter Motte: 30753	All	Each invention was a worry, and it's only because some people were worried, that it didn't become worse as it did. The car is a good example: it IS still a worry. The Dutch Prince Bernhard visited a health instituion once, and 1 out of 3 people in a wheelchair were victims of road accidents. At the moment he saw that something had to be done about that, because at that time nobody really cared about traffic safety.
