Finalize platform for streaming talks #6

Closed emdupre closed 4 years ago

We've discussed using CrowdCast as the streaming platform for the Software and Scientific days, modelling after Neuromatch. It has a 200 USD licensing fee for one month, and it's unclear if we can get that cost covered by UNIQUE (or use their soon-to-be-purchased subscription).

One alternative would be to use BlueJeans as @GaelVaroquaux already has a subscription available through MILA. Blake Richards used that to stream the course I was taking with him (once McGill went remote) so I know they have a chat window, but I'm not sure how many other features (like polls, or pulling people "on stage") are supported.

We need to finalize this quickly, though, and we may decide those features aren't worth the associated cost. For some streaming platforms, it would likely be best if we could have one or two moderators who would stay on for several hours at a time to introduce speakers, transition between talks, and ask audience questions. In which case, we'll need to distribute moderation responsibilities amongst the organizers.

Done to Crowdcast ! Next issue is persisting the talks and linking them to the website; see #12
