I'm not nearly as good a video producer as Paul is a podcast producer.
 Paul had the podcast of the last KWLUG meeting online before the rest
of us were home from the Firkin, but it's taken me weeks to assemble
the podcast audio with the video Laurel took. I'm only just learning
Kdenlive so the transitions are choppy and the title slides fade and
flash, but since it took 8 hours to render I'm not about to do it
again.  But here it is: The KWLUG Cloud Storage Shootout, Moving
Picture Edition:
