Just a first stab at something involving the infra:

"When it became clear that DebConf20 was going to be an online-only
event, the DebConf video team spent much time over the next months to
adapt, improve, and in some cases write from scratch, technology that
would be required to make an online debconf possible. After lessons
learned from the MiniDebConfOnline in late May, some adjustments were
made, and then eventually we came up with a setup involving Jitsi, OBS,
Voctomix, SReview, nginx, Etherpad, and a newly written web-based
frontend for voctomix as the various elements of our stack.

All components of the video infrastructure are free software, and the
whole setup is configured through our public ansible at
."

Video team: did I miss anything? If so, please speak up.

Please review and translate: DebConf20 closing announcement

[Laura Arjona Reina]

Dear all
The DebConf20 closing announcement is ready for review and translations:

https://salsa.debian.org/publicity-team/bits/-/blob/master/content/2020/debconf20-closes.md

We may do some last minute editions but I think not much more than what
you can see now.

I'll add a wml file to the English folder in the announcements repo
later; feel free to work only one of them, the format you better like
(bits repo in markdown, announcements repo in html) and I'll do my best
to keep both English documents in sync, and copy and adapt translations
when publishing in each channel.

Kind regards,

DebConf20 Online wrap-up meeting Monday, 31.08.20 18:00 UTC

[Daniel Lange]

Hi,

DebConf20 is coming to a close. We've had 850+ registered attendees, so - in a 
way - this was our biggest DebConf ever.

I think with great effort by the video team and a wise schedule by the content 
team we have made the best out of the situation this year.

Please collect feedback from yourselves or important bits from IRC, pads or 
other feedback channels at:

https://storm.debian.net/shared/vvztPo3U7Iatl7KBNVowlSxErlvduiUEE2OxefR6CnR

We'd like to go through this in a final DebConf20 Online team meeting

Monday, 31.08.2020 18:00 UTC in #debconf-team

while our memories are still fresh.

Kind regards,
Daniel
