One person is too little; > anybody else? I don't think post-processing after debconf5 will work very well either (if 5 people now stand up and declare they'll do it, I will change my mind.) I'd rather aim at solutions where we can publish the talks with minimal post-processing, i.e. almost live. talk ---> camera-laptop with ffmpeg or cat & nc or.... -> 100 mbit LAN -> editing-machine (4 cpu? 2 displays ? do we have such a beast ?) with cinelerra or kino or... -> LAN -> stream-server with ffmpeg or flumotion or... (and http/bittorent) This assumes we can stream audio and video live from the laptops... and that we have the slides available _before_ the talk so we can prepare them on the editing machine. Maybe the term "stream-server" is misleading here - I'm not really sure if we should provide/announce live-streams at all. I mean, if we do post-processing anyway, we have to timeshift anyway so we could just provide files via torrent. As we have the diskspace available we can save the high quality recordings for _optitional_ high-quality-post-processing. But I would neither rely nor announce it. If somebody does it, great, if not, so what. my 2 cents... On a personal note: I've been more quiet here lately than I wished I were. I've got a pretty high workload at the moment, which I priorized yesterday in a way so I believe I will be able to work on debconf5 stuff in the next 5 weeks as needed. Making FAI easy to begin with and usable for our needs was/is one thing causing my workload. I expect a working beta-setup which you can use for testing to be ready in 9 days aka next weekend. For a start, what software is needed on the recording laptops (which are sponsored and have firewire in case someone is wondering...) ? what software is needed for editing ? Also next weekend all the infos in the wiki should be ordered (*) and in the first week of june we should have a "final" plan on which we all agree. The next big irc meeting will be on monday, the 6th of june - I would propose a video meeting right before that, 2 hours earlier or a day earlier. regards, Holger (*) I volunteered to do this - but I would absolutly appricate help ;-) But you can point on me :-) (And I will react....)
