DV firewire out 18:11:45 dc14 will still be vga projector conf... i'd strongly suggest or say ;-p 18:11:55 CarlFK: and you have xlr cables? 18:12:16 and I have swtiched to using camera xlr. partly because of h01ger's request at pycon.de - thank you for the nudge 18:12:24 I have xlr cables. 18:12:29 :-) 18:12:34 my pleasure. 18:12:40 :-D 18:12:48 #info we'll use xlr for audio 18:12:55 we need audio mixers from psu? 18:13:05 #topic other hardware we need 18:13:15 Should I attempt to get mics/mixers/amps/speakers from free personal sources, or are we happy with paying that $900? 18:13:16 nope, I will bring 4 audio mixers 18:14:02 Hmm. I suppose I don't know enough people with projectors. 18:14:13 jrayhawk: I hope we are ok paying $900. unless you can get the screens and projectors too 18:14:20 h01ger: why don't we buy some vga/hdmi adaptors? just to avoid surprises 18:14:23 jrayhawk: of course we are more happy if we get them free of charge 18:14:35 I think I can only do one screen/projector. 18:15:03 tassia: if they exist for reasonable prices we absolutly should 18:15:21 #info carl will also bring audio mixers. 18:15:32 so all we need is projectors, screens and speakers + amps? 18:15:41 (and moar storage) 18:15:43 tassia: Hmm, I think those will be quite expensive in general. Maybe some laptops can be switched to VGA output with a passive adapter but then it is probably specific to that model/manufacturer 18:16:03 about $30 18:16:14 http://www.amazon.co.uk/Neewer-Black-Adapter-Converter-Laptop/dp/B007KEIRNG 18:16:15 CarlFK: so all we need is projectors, screens and speakers + amps? 18:16:40 tassia: wow 18:16:42 h01ger: correct, at least for in the room 18:16:42 but I'm not the pbest person to say that this is what we need 18:16:57 * h01ger likes to file this 900 usd budget and vga/hdmi adaptors under (important) "details" for after the meeting 18:17:06 CarlFK: what else besides the rooms is there? 18:17:22 bwh: yes, chromebooks don't have vga for example 18:17:35 so anything else about hw or should we move to sw? 18:17:41 could someone just get those adapters and expense them? 18:17:56 h01ger, projectors 18:17:59 h01ger: file server and I suspect some switches that will be in the NOC (Network Operations Center) which I think is someone elses problem 18:18:00 nattie: if they exist, feel free to do so 18:18:07 i can't see the solution 18:18:10 renting? 18:18:24 #info file server and switches (hi NOC, hi RichiH) are missing. 18:18:48 i think kees is the local handling network stuff. 18:19:07 he's not here. edrz, could you pass taht on to him? 18:19:18 next topic? 18:19:18 I manage servers in colocation at PSU which can be used for storage or rtp/rtsp/rtmp purposes. 18:19:40 jrayhawk: na, we want our own. thanks but no thanks. 18:19:57 #topic software stac 18:20:00 also.. shipping 1000 lbs of gear and boxes (which is heavier than the gear) from chicago to portland and back: $2000. (shipping company, not sure we can really do better unless someone wants to drive) 18:20:06 #topic software stac - live production 18:20:15 CarlFK: please bring this up again for later topic "budget" 18:20:18 k 18:20:32 for software, i suggest wheezy plus the usual suspects 18:20:41 aka what we used at dc13, incl sesses stuff 18:20:53 software: I suggest using the macines as they are now. 18:20:54 what's sesses? 18:21:00 sadly there is no newer dvswitch or is there? 18:21:13 h01ger: you can make one! 18:21:27 CarlFK: i suggest reinstalling, so more people know the stuff running on it 18:21:37 CarlFK: your solution/install is only known well by you 18:21:54 edrz: a person, who did the cube streamer 18:22:33 h01ger: well.. nothing else works - the fosdem stack still seems broken and I could never even find the dvswitch source 18:22:43 http://www.x.org/~jrayhawk/fdoteelivestream worked for me 18:22:49 that plus crtmpserver 18:23:08 I have 5 laptops that have a solid, tested, etc setup. 18:23:10 edrz: blog.sesse.net 18:23:17 search for his dc13 posts 18:23:21 h01ger: ack. will look later. 18:23:27 CarlFK: still, you would be the SPOF then 18:23:29 all the same, all working. 18:23:31 thats just stupid 18:23:50 um... I can fail but the laptops will still keep working 18:24:12 CarlFK, i suggest not using those ubuntu/unit thing 18:24:14 plus they run ubuntu, dont they? 18:24:16 tiago was able to fix them on his own when dhcp went away 18:24:21 CarlFK: so no 18:24:39 at least not unit, which sucked many times in pyohio 18:24:48 what is unit? 18:24:52 unity 18:24:55 oh 18:24:58 whatever 18:25:01 that shit thing 18:25:18 and yet somehow we got videos 18:25:35 CarlFK, we'll have extra work on merging 18:25:42 what? 18:25:50 because of unity freezing 18:26:00 what? 18:26:10 Is there some feature that we could merge from CarlFK into DC13 setup ? 18:26:23 same question for Fosdem setup ? 18:26:24 one Q at a time.. we now have 3 18:26:27 4 18:26:30 eheh 18:26:44 tiago: what do you mean by: extra work on merging ? 18:26:56 #info so we will need to discuss the software setup in detail later 18:27:00 next topic? ;-p 18:27:03 lol 18:27:16 * h01ger really wants to finish in 60m 18:27:27 CarlFK, we had to restart X in the middle of talks because of unity freezing 18:27:32 and better shorter, so we have more time for leftover questions then 18:27:39 h01ger: You can do that but will we have made any progress? 18:27:39 yes yes please 18:27:45 I kinda agree with Carl here. I have worked on Carl/timvideos.us It is reliable and we can fix it quickly if it break fo \r some reason. We can probably replace unity? 18:27:45 oh, and we wont run ubuntu to do debconf video 18:28:10 thats a hillarious idea, IMNSHO 18:28:29 next topic, review? 18:29:08 #topic software stack - review/encoding/publishing 18:29:14 last thing: i'm fine with ubuntu, it has worked well, it was just unity breaking stuff 18:29:35 tiago will work on writing up docs last Sat right? oh wait no. such is free labor :p 18:29:39 * h01ger roles eyes. for that at fosdem - due to time constraints - we went with carls ubuntu setup too 18:30:48 CarlFK, i'll do tonight 18:30:57 :) if it doesnt rain 18:31:17 yay!
