Good question :-) friday evening and (early) saturday morning. No, that's not a lot, yes it will be hectic. But it shouldn't be /that/ bad: - The network team will handle our network cabling (so we don't have to worry about that). I've sent the person in charge of networking a list of what we need last week, and have no doubt that it'll be done well. - This is a university, which means they already have several things set up for us which we don't need to do anymore; e.g., Janson has a fixed beamer and (I believe) an audio set-up with mixer; we 'just' need to add a twinpact and an audio cable to our camera. I'm expecting similar things in the new K auditorium (which is smaller than Janson, but still seats 800 people), but still need confirmation for this. - The smaller rooms that we'll also cover will have the beamer set up by the devrooms/talks/lightning talks teams, so we don't need to worry about that (we just need to add the twinpact). Most of the rooms also already have a PA system, so we don't have to do that either (though we might need to worry about microphones and mixers, need to check for that). - There will be 'only' one camera per room (we may do more cameras next year, but I wanted to take things easy for this first time). - Fluendo said they will do our streaming, though I haven't gotten final confirmation for that yet. If they end up unable to do so, there simply won't be any streaming -- since FOSDEM has never done much streaming in the past, that won't really be a regression (there was an experimental stream last year, but I don't think it was advertised much...). Basically, we only need to connect the laptops, cameras, twinpacts, and audio (where appropriate), and of course test everything. So I think it *should* be doable. -- The volume of a pizza of thickness a and radius z can be described by the following formula: pi zz a _______________________________________________ Debconf-video mailing list [email protected] http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-video
