My family has had a bark canoe for generations!! 18:04:24 <olasd> so, yeah, obvs, if the sanitary conditions are sensible, I'll be in Bordeaux 18:04:58 <olasd> (which looks like a somewhat big if... we'll see) 18:05:27 <olasd> (sorry, got to handle the quiche currently in the oven) 18:05:40 <paddatrapper> #info availability is COVID-19 dependant 18:05:57 <paddatrapper> #topic Streaming CDN 18:06:49 <highvoltage> oh yeah that's for the online minidebconf 18:07:13 <pollo> highvoltage: has anyone had time/energy to put towards the miniconf? 18:07:23 <highvoltage> pollo: yep, a little 18:07:45 <pollo> I haven't seen a CFP or anything else go around and iirc the dates were beginning of June? 18:07:45 <highvoltage> can we use the usual debconf cdn for distributing the feed for people who are just watching? 18:08:20 <olasd> pollo: you need to read d-d-a better, even I saw the announcement and CfP ;p 18:08:27 <highvoltage> (not sure who usually sets that up, from what I understand it's basically spinning up some DO droplets and running ansible) 18:08:28 <pollo> Oops 18:08:32 <tumbleweed> highvoltage: yes 18:08:35 <paddatrapper> pollo: 29/30 May 18:09:23 <CarlFK> might want to consider who should watch and who should 'participate' 18:09:44 <nattie> yeah 18:09:48 <highvoltage> pollo: also https://wiki.debian.org/DebianEvents/internet/2020/MiniDebConfOnline 18:09:58 <olasd> highvoltage: I've usually done the spinning up of do droplets; I'd be happy to do so again 18:10:13 <highvoltage> olasd: thanks that would be great 18:10:26 <olasd> what will you be streaming from? 18:10:28 <highvoltage> paddatrapper set up jibri on the jitsi instance 18:10:34 <paddatrapper> #info olasd usually spins up droplets for CDN 18:10:36 <olasd> ah, well that answers that 18:10:43 <paddatrapper> olasd: FFmpeg from jibri 18:10:44 <highvoltage> so it will come from jitsi/jibri 18:10:46 * nattie is still happy to help test stuff 18:10:56 <paddatrapper> would just need an RTMP endpoint to push to 18:11:09 <olasd> ack; that's easy enough 18:11:15 <paddatrapper> thanks 18:11:15 <highvoltage> not sure whether we'll have a talkmeister double as a director and hit the record button 18:11:16 <pollo> paddatrapper: woots, that's great! 18:11:24 <highvoltage> or if we should have a dedicated director to do that 18:11:26 <olasd> (jibri looks like an awful pile of trash, congrats for making that work) 18:11:33 <paddatrapper> took a while to get working... 18:11:40 * tobi late... srry 18:11:43 <nattie> highvoltage: there are arguments for both 18:11:44 <paddatrapper> It isn't too bad, but the troubleshooting is a nightmare 18:12:12 <pollo> That's jitsi in a nutshell 18:12:33 <highvoltage> pretty much any web video software 18:12:53 <olasd> paddatrapper: I have a RTMP endpoint and nginx and whatnot setup on my server if you want to try stuff out; for the real deal we can spin the streaming infra up during minidebcamp? or do you need that beforehand? 18:12:55 <paddatrapper> yeah... but in Java 18:13:21 <olasd> anyway we can sync up post-meeting 18:13:23 <paddatrapper> olasd: thanks. Can spin it up during minidebcamp 18:13:25 <paddatrapper> cool 18:13:36 <highvoltage> I think first day of debcamp would be nice 18:14:06 <olasd> *nod* 18:14:15 <highvoltage> minidebcamp was kind of urbec's idea, who sadly had to bail out due to work 18:14:48 <highvoltage> so I'm not 100% sure what we'll do but at the worst we can hang out and chat and test things / work out some wrinkles for the weekend talks 18:15:10 <paddatrapper> can use the chance to test other options 18:15:17 <paddatrapper> e.g. BBB 18:15:23 <olasd> we can pretend that everything that happened in Debian during those two days was part of the minidebcamp :P 18:15:35 <paddatrapper> sounds like a plan! 18:15:44 <highvoltage> BBB I'd like to do well in advance, hope to have a BBB set up tomorrow (I've said so every day for the last week, but I think tomorrow will work out) 18:16:56 <highvoltage> paddatrapper: I gues that takes care of that topic 18:17:10 <paddatrapper> #topic Any other business? 18:17:27 <highvoltage> oh you should probably task olasd in the meeting notes with the droplets setup 18:17:48 <paddatrapper> #right 18:17:51 <paddatrapper> #undo 18:17:51 <MeetBot> Removing item from minutes: <MeetBot.items.Topic object at 0x15b6950> 18:17:59 <paddatrapper> #action olasd to setup CDN droplets 18:18:00 <olasd> if you want to do a bbb tryout without fully setting it up https://ensemble-bbb.scaleway.com/ is a decent set of instances 18:18:19 <paddatrapper> #info if you want to do a bbb tryout without fully setting it up https://ensemble-bbb.scaleway.com/ is a decent set of instances 18:18:30 <paddatrapper> #topic Any other business? 18:18:33 <paddatrapper> anythin else? 18:18:38 <highvoltage> yeah 18:18:51 <highvoltage> I want a part of that quiche now it sounds delicious 18:19:07 <olasd> it looks pretty good 18:19:14 <olasd> and I think I nailed the crust 18:19:25 * highvoltage *triggered* 18:20:08 <olasd> :p 18:20:52 <olasd> do we have any word on whether DebConf will happen IRL? when was the decision deadline? 18:21:09 <highvoltage> 5 June'ish I think 18:21:17 <phls> what is CDN on "debconf cdn"? 18:21:24 <highvoltage> content distribution network 18:21:34 <phls> thanks 18:21:56 <nattie> the decision is meant to be public by June 8 18:21:56 <highvoltage> (in this case, just a bunch of nodes that repeats the streams in regions around the world) 18:22:34 <gwolf> olasd: We are right now drafting a survey to aid the decision process 18:22:35 <phls> like youtube? 18:22:58 <tumbleweed> phls: like a mirror network 18:23:06 <highvoltage> phls: yep, just our own self-hosted one. it's what you'd usually see if you access the stream from the debconf web page from various regiouns around the world 18:23:17 * gwolf thinks the odds of it happening are low. But I'm often seen as a pesimist. Maybe I need a happy twin that can bake quiche crusts? 18:23:20 <olasd> gwolf: alright. (I'm not getting involved personally, just figured a status update would be relevant wrt. the video team) 18:23:57 <highvoltage> well Isreal is doing quite well in flattening the curve 18:24:10 <phls> do you intend send from jitsi to youtube? 18:24:13 <tumbleweed> without the south africans, olasd, and pollo, the video team would be quite understaffed 18:24:19 <highvoltage> the rest of the world is mostly flaming away so I think it's safe to say that most people won't be able to travel 18:24:30 <paddatrapper> phls: no, to our own mirror network 18:24:35 <paddatrapper> like we do for debconf 18:24:44 <phls> or just from jitsi to our cdn? 18:24:52 <phls> ok 18:25:14 <tumbleweed> we don't usually stream to youtube. No reason to change that now 18:25:25 <highvoltage> phls: my guess is that the videos will make it to youtube via the debconf video archives, so just not live 18:25:38 <olasd> the smell in my "office" (two doors away from the kitchen) is starting to be very overpowering. any other other business? :P 18:25:40 <tumbleweed> we could mirror to youtube too. But nobody has really bothered in the past 18:25:59 <paddatrapper> #topc Next Meeting 18:26:00 <tumbleweed> it'd probably get some random viewers, rathre than the usual debconf crowd 18:26:01 <pollo> Any idea If the CDN will hold up? 18:26:02 <highvoltage> it might be nice for attracting audiences 18:26:16 <pollo> Traffic will surely be much higher ... 18:26:18 <paddatrapper> 23 June @18:00 UTC? 18:26:19 <highvoltage> but for a first run of minidebconf online I think we should play it safe 18:26:28 <paddatrapper> pollo: we can add more nodes if necessary 18:26:33 <tumbleweed> pollo: It's very scaleable, I wouldn't be worried 18:26:41 <highvoltage> pollo: I doubt it will be higher than a usual DebConf's demand 18:26:53 <tumbleweed> also, we haven't really had noticeable load in the past 18:27:10 <olasd> it's just https downloading a bunch of files off of a ramdisk 18:27:16 <olasd> it's not like it's very demanding 18:27:33 <highvoltage> how much bandwidth does a single stream use? 18:27:47 <olasd> 1.5Mbps in the best quality 18:27:53 <olasd> or something like that 18:28:08 <highvoltage> and those DO droplets, I think they get 100mbps by default? 18:28:15 <paddatrapper> yeah that is around the numbers we were throwing around in the minidc channel too 18:28:27 <olasd> ah, no, 2.5Mbps 18:29:02 <nattie> paddatrapper: why 23 and not 16 june? 18:29:28 <paddatrapper> nattie: because I counted wrong :P 18:29:37 <paddatrapper> 16 June @ 18:00 UTC? 18:29:43 <highvoltage> (I think it might run out of network before it runs out of CPU, but if it's trivial to spin up more instances as tumbleweed says then it's still not too much of an issue, but it's kind of interesting knowing how much one instance can handle) 18:29:45 <phls> i'm thinking just about the range (i'm not sure this is the correct word). It's much easier use youtube to watch on tv, for instance 18:30:01 <tumbleweed> highvoltage: we've never tested one to load 18:30:20 <olasd> streaming a single room to youtube is like two lines of config to add to nginx and two buttons to click on the youtube interface 18:30:27 <highvoltage> tumbleweed: cool, maybe we can do some tests during the minidebcamp 18:30:28 <olasd> if we really croak under the load, we can resort to that 18:30:46 <phls> i don't know, I believe we will have a demand much highier now 18:31:02 <phls> olasd, cool 18:31:18 <tumbleweed> my experience of conferences online is that nobody attends 18:31:32 <highvoltage> phls: do you have any stats yet on fique iem casa use debian that you can share so far? 18:31:40 <highvoltage> (sorry for spelling :)) 18:31:41 <tumbleweed> you aren't *at* the venue, so you just do some work or read the internet, unless you're *really* interested in a talk 18:32:08 <phls> we are having between 50 and 100 attends watching on live 18:32:27 <paddatrapper> that's impressive actually 18:32:46 <phls> more attends than in our minidebconfs :-) 18:33:20 <highvoltage> I think in that case it helped having youtube live streams because subsribers to the debianbrazil channel get a notification saying 'debianbrazil is streaming live now' 18:33:48 <phls> yes, it's true 18:34:15 <highvoltage> I also read a feature request on peertube for supporting that kind of streaming. so perhaps eventually the whole of peerutbe could become a live streaming cdn too. or maybe it's just wishful thinking but still :) 18:34:24 <highvoltage> (sorry for clogging up AOB) 18:34:33 <paddatrapper> it would be nice to have that eventually 18:34:34 <highvoltage> paddatrapper: +1 for meeting date 18:34:43 <paddatrapper> not sure how they would handle the scaling issue though 18:34:52 <highvoltage> paddatrapper: just a reminder that that's a public holiday for us 18:35:15 <paddatrapper> highvoltage: yeah, true 18:35:18 <highvoltage> paddatrapper: I guess it would also use webtorrent 18:35:31 <paddatrapper> not that I think we would be able to go anywhere by then... 18:35:39 <CarlFK> er, n2. derp. 18:35:46 <CarlFK> whopps. hi! 18:36:04 <highvoltage> yeah it's just easier to forget about meetings when you're possibly spending more time with family than at a screen 18:36:11 <paddatrapper> true 18:36:17 * paddatrapper adds it to my calendar 18:36:48 <paddatrapper> #agreed 16 June @ 18:00 UTC 18:36:53 <paddatrapper> #endmeeting
