LNUG #94 - 22 April 2020 - remote edition part 2 #41

Closed admataz closed 4 years ago

admataz commented 4 years ago

Hello @lnug/organisers - I hope you are all well?

This month’s meetup is still on my calendar - and that’s less than 2 weeks away. We have no speakers lined up so far, so let's see if we can rustle up a few lightning talks for another remote session on the 22nd April…

As we are still in lockdown and 100% remote - we could take a talk from anyone in the world.

The adjusted-for-remote todo list

Will update this todo list more as the tasks for the event become clearer (special announcements, etc)

Please add your ideas, thoughts, concerns to the comments

Interested in hearing about the streaming/remote set up for this upcoming session

phazonoverload commented 4 years ago

I've refined the setup since the last LNUG meetup to ensure I get full control over speaker audio (and can mute it until it's their turn), which was the issue with March's meetup. I'm happy to facilitate the technical parts (using Skype, as my new setup requires), and have just put the event in my calendar. We can use Social Cafe again too if you want.

If you're short on speakers I can do one about using Airtable as a database, but not sure if it's boring?

Is there a reason why you didn't go with Zoom ?

phazonoverload commented 4 years ago

Skype supports NDI in a feature they call Skype for Content Creators. Zoom, and others, do not.

It’s this feature which allows us to isolate each video/audio stream inside of OBS (the software used to stream).

Gotcha, thanks for the explanation!

phazonoverload commented 4 years ago

@admataz with a few days to go until this event I’m just checking if we’re still going ahead?

admataz commented 4 years ago

Hey @phazonoverload - thanks for chasing... I was thinking the same thing last night.

@lnug/organisers: I have not had any any talk proposals and the meetup page has had minimal response... so if I'm going to call it off for this week.

Let's try and have an organiser's call this week to arrange and plan a good online LNUG

admataz commented 4 years ago

if anyone thinks differently - let it be known!

phazonoverload commented 4 years ago

Understood. Can you add me to the org group so I can get updates?

Cheers

Understood. Can you add me to the org group so I can get updates? sure - sorry I thought you were already on the list

Hey all, sorry I have not been around to help at all this month.

I would love an organiser's call, great idea.

Also, I noticed that next 4th Wednesday (27th of May) is 11 years from the day of the initial release of node.js

Maybe we could use that to try and attract some speakers.

Hope to see you all soon
