I hope no-body thinks I'm being presumptuous posting a New Year show schedule, but I am the one who vocally voted we should do a show. I edited last year's schedule and put it in a Google Spreadsheet (both because I understand spreadsheets better than HTML, and I can place real time GMT, NYC, and Melbourne clocks in the top left cell, with them and the column headings frozen at the top so they are always visible).
First off, does anyone see any security or privacy issue with using my Google account which is provided by LinuxBasement.com ? Would it be more appropriate to copy it to +Henry Patric Reilly? I've made a short URL http://goo.gl/pwYklg , I'd like someone to confirm it doesn't just work for me. if not, the long one is https://docs.google.com/a/linuxbasement.com/spreadsheets/d/1nvy4iLeqCBnRLPZO8SyBrgOi8gE91B5FzHPE1_Y5NT4/edit#gid=0 . I've set permissions so it can be edited by anyone "with the URL" (how you edit it w/o the URL, only Google knows). I've used the odd rows of column A for the time zone greetings and left the even rows blank for show notes which we will use to fill scheduled appearances that we know about ahead of time (for instance, rowinggolfer has agreed to come on and talk about Open Molar and dudeman says he will come on and help me lead a discussion on system on a chip computers). Once I know when they can join us, I'll go ahead and put it on the schedule. Since it's spreadsheet, if you need more room to keep the notes from spreading into the adjacent cell, you can just drag the bottom border of the cell down. I've posted the schedule now because I'd like members to start signing up for "Moderator" and "Editor" slots. I've marked off one hour segments in the Moderator (for lack of a better word) column. I just want to make sure someone is in the Mumble to see the greetings to each time zone get done and to help move things along, I don't anticipate you having to do things like calm heated discussions as that's never been a problem. Moderators should also make sure someone is filling in shownotes for each segment. You can sign up for more than one hour, but leave yourself time to eat and don't spread yourself too thin. Make sure you pick times in which you can be awake and reasonably sober (I know, this includes me). Ken Fallon has agreed in principal to accept help editing the show. Since he scheduled eight slots for the first 26 hours, I marked off eight 3 or 4 hours segments. I'd like the "Editors" to record as .WAV in the Mumble room from about 5 minutes before your selected slot until five minutes after the slot ends (make sure you have enough space on the target volume). You wouldn't have to actively participate in the podcast the whole time, but I would like everybody close enough to monitor their systems. ASAP after you segment ends, edit out the five minutes before the first hour greeting is given and the five minutes beginning just before the hour greeting for the slot after you. Remove Noise, Truncate Silences, and run a noise compressor (in case someone is peaking) at a minimum, then post it on the FTP. I'd say let the automated services add the intro/altro and the summary. By the end of the week, I'll post a template shownotes text file with everything that can be filled in ahead of time. Just remember to copy the notes out of the schedule file into you shownotes. I hope I can count on everybody to chip in and fill out all the slots. If some should miss a recording slot, I'm sure the usual suspects will be recording backup copies.
