They are! Ogg Theora "raw" video is available on
http://video.houstonlinux.org/, in the raw directory. The timestamp is
August 9th, this year. Two files total.
I have one suggestion that simplifies the processing of the LaTeX output
files. Install AUCTeX (http://www.gnu.org/software/auctex/). Then you
can stay in Emacs to do the processing. How? Open foo.tex in a buffer,
and type in "C-c C-c latex" to process the file. If you want to view the
PDF output, type "C-c C-v". I sometimes wish that AUCTeX was included
in the Emacs distribution.
Actually, I prefer the Makefile. I often tweak items in the export
template up top and in the "Local Variables" at the bottom, and either
I have to use 'normal-mode' or C-c C-c to reload these individually.
The Makefile kicks off a new emacs, no need to reload at all. It also
runs pdflatex twice. I'd tinkered with making my Graphviz .dot files a
dependency too so they'll be updated.
