Hola, tomorrow at eleven in the morning we will meet in the hacklab to have the DebConf12 video team meeting.
This will be the last invitation send to all three lists, in future I'll only use debconf-vi...@l.dc.o - so please subscribe to it, if you havent done so alreaday. Goto http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-video Don't worry if you cannot attend yet, there will be more meetings and also volunteer training sessions. The first one probably on Thursday... If you have never been involved in a DebConf videoteam, let me briefly explain what we do: live streaming of the two talkrooms (of scheduled events), plus providing recordings of this (at+during the conferance!). Our work can be divided into three areas: - setup of everything (cables, cameras, computers, etc + test the software) - tomorrow we will start preparing computers in the hacklab, from Wednesday Thursday on we can access the auditoriums during the day to actually set up things there. - it's definitly possible to help here, but you will need to show some initiative to find areas where you can help.... attend the meetings and just ask! - life-recording crew: during the talks, maintain the equiqment, run the show. (=operate the cameras, the audio mixer, the video mixer) - for this, we will use penta to organize the shifts (so you can indicate in advance when you will be on duty) and we will need room coordinators (for half a day each for each room) making sure volunteers show up and if not, find someone else. - the training session will cover this, but it's also possible to learn by watching.. :) - reviewing videos: recorded videos need reviewing before and after endcoding, to cut away the beginning + end (if needed), possible join videos, etc. All you need to do to review is watch a video and enter your findings in a penta web gui - which then schedules appropriate encoding and uploading jobs, so that the videos can go into the archive for download instantly. - We have documentation for this (linked from the url at the bottom of that mail) and the training session will also cover this. - We will have two review stations in the hacklab, in case you cannot bring your own computer to do this. So, during the conf we will operate in two crews: life-recording (with two indipendent groups) and reviewing. Until Thursday we will definitly "only" do setup, which doesnt need that many people. Finally, but really important: If you haven't done so already, please add yourself to http://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf12/Videoteam/Help - this is good for me to see how many volunteers we can expect and good for you as you can expect an extra videoteam tshirt for being on 3 life-crews or reviewing 7 events. Or such ;-) (We also appreciate and include other contributors, like the networking crew!) So, many many thanks for your help already! Having the video work distributed on so many shoulders ensures that everybody still can enjoy the conference while enabling others who couldnt travel here, to do the same. Thats totally awesome and certainly deserves more thanks than just a stupid^wwonderful tshirt! /me bows. (Which is also certainly not enough... :) cheers, Holger _______________________________________________ Debconf-discuss mailing list Debconf-discuss@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-discuss
