A brief report on this event. We had about a dozen SLUGgers and non-SLUGgers attend, who were all interested to help out with the video work necessary for and at Software Freedom Day on 16th September. *** It was absolutely awesome planning the event with this many volunteers! Thanks to everyone who came round and offered their help!! *** In the morning we had a rather quiet play with the setup of several computers for video streaming. Somehow it wasn't our day for technical work, but rather for getting organised. Clearly, setting up and running flumotion takes some knowledge and persistency. Over lunch we went into town to check out several shops that sold DVD camcorders, since we are considering buying/renting these for the recording. It turns out that most DVD camcorders do not have a microphone socket. The idea was born to try it with a DV camera and a DVD recorder. In the afternoon we focused on getting organised for SFD and put together the people, the hardware, the timeline, and the work components. If all works out as planned, we should have lots of fun at SFD. Cheers, Silvia.
