hi

larma: Any recording available? I see mentions of a live stream on the website, but cannot find a recording. https://2026.fossy.ca/schedule/presentation/374/

will be published eventually I guess

Thanks. Thought I didn't search hard enough, but perhaps I didn't wait long enough instead. :)

The estimate I heard was "a few weeks"

Kinda a shame they don't use Peertube where all that is super easy and basically automated.

What is?

They have a dozen hours-long video files to sift through, cut appropriately, etc.

No need to cut when you start and stop the streams on site.

The streams were not started and stopped on site

Well, it easily could have though.

There weren't even people attending each camera, they were just running all day

Maybe with an army of A/V staff, yeah :)

Not really. You make it sound way more complicated than it is.

I defer to your expertise at this

The recordings for Froscon were online the same day.

While they didn't use Peertube, their system is similar.

So next year, attend, volunteer, and show them how it's done

> The recordings for Froscon were online the same day. Because a dozen volunteers (more offsite) were cutting recordings and also moving sliders and pushing buttoms live while in the room during the recording. The same people also write subtitles and translations, they write metadata and turn up mic gain when necessary and turn on room mics when people have questions. ↺

Some of those were working on the releases late at night instead of meeting others at the social event.

It essentially is broadcast level work and the equipment has a price tag like that as well.

The equippent was there already from the university.

In the case of Fossy

And most of that work you describe is independent from what I said.

Kris: You could contact the staff and ask them what's taking so long. Maybe they'll invite you to help ;) Please don't complain into the void.

I am not complaining. I am just stating the fact that if they would use existing FOSS software to stream it instead of some proprietary thing, things would be much easier.

Please tell them directly

They even have a MUC at xmpp:fossy@chat.sfconservancy.org?join
