Hi, I've been reminded (see forwarded message below) to arrange a short test call before the BoF to ensure smooth participation. Participants are strongly encouraged to do the same and join #dc20-speakertest for a quick test.
It should be very quick, just a few minutes, to ensure everything is working smoothly. When you do so, please tell it's related to a BoF I (nodens on IRC) facilitate, so the people in charge can keep track. A few generic Jitsi pointers, just in case, even if I guess we're all getting used more and more to these tools nowadays ;) (those are gathered from my own experience, but I've been told during the test it still applies): - prefer Chromium (or a variant) over Firefox: it makes things easier for everyone, both the Jitsi instance and the participants computers - Use an external microphone and don't rely on the laptop one if possible - mute yourself when you don't need to talk especially if your microphone is noisy (or you are taking notes). I'm looking forward meeting you in the Jitsi room Wednesday! Cheers, nodens -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Please arrange a Jitsi test call before your DebConf20 talk Date: Sun, 23 Aug 2020 16:24:18 -0000 From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Dear speaker, If you've already had a test Jitsi call with the Speaker Assistance Team, or your talk has already happened, feel free to ignore this. Otherwise, please come to #dc20-speakerdesk channel on OFTC in order to arrange a test Jitsi call. All being well, this should only take a few minutes, and it helps ensure that BoFs and the Q&A portions of talks go as smoothly as possible. If you are convening a BoF, please ask the people who will be in the BoF with you to also visit us. Best regards, Speaker Assistance Team
