It was suggested to me that I invite Fran Blanche to give a talk at VCF East. I know of her and her YouTube channel, but am not familiar with her videos. Is anyone familiar with her videos where they can give me a suggestion as to what she might talk about? Thanks! ========================================= Jeff Brace VCF National Board Member Chairman & Vice President Vintage Computer Festival East Showrunner Vintage Computer Federation is a 501c3 charity https://vcfed.org/ <http://www.vcfed.org/> jeffrey@vcfed.org
A quick search on YouTube brought up her channel. Her latest post is "Chat Bots Gone Wild" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDKYEp-eAIQ This video is interesting, but I'm not sure this is VCF-E speaker material.

I'm used to seeing her post about hardware topics, like her long-term project to reconstruct the Apollo DSKY. -ethan

Yeah that's the big one she's known for nowadays, I think. She's done a lot of teardowns and/or repairs of various vintage and historic display technologies, too. I've watched a lot of those type of her videos. Perhaps something on vintage display tech would be interesting to VCFers. Thanks, Jonathan
Uh, you guys do know that she has attended VCF East in the past: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRG-21c-yeY&t=2373s On 2/24/2023 8:44 AM, Jonathan Chapman via vcf-midatlantic wrote:

Yep! She filmed Dan Roganti and my Commodore game exhibit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8AX-DECy32c time code=7:41. And I met her in the museum that day and saw her t-shirt with the Commodore 64 BASIC code. I actually knew what the code did! I really didn't know much about her beyond that and some descriptions from Jeff Jonas about her videos. He has watched a lot of them.
