Brainstorming FUDCon Fedora 11 External Audio Options
- streaming audio or video
- could someone at MIT Television help?
- one central server for streaming and use laptops in individual sessions
- potential problems
- enough bandwidth to get to fedora talk
- enough hardware
- use IRC for feedback loop to livestream
- what about targeting one or two rooms to pilot the live stream
- do well in one room
- would need to create a standard setup guide so it is easy
- setup in advance, preferably the day before so time isn't wasted in individual sessions trying to get things to work
- would to designate people in each room to watch over equipment
- Plan of attack:
- Paul Frields will try to make contact with MIT TV
- Chris Tyler to send out email to various fedora lists soliciting help and hardware from people attending--clip on microphones or video cameras
FUDCon Update
- Planning is on track with Paul the organization of everything
- For people arriving before Friday, January 9, 2009, it might be good to have a meeting place for: "I'm here please put me to work place"

- Will have a couple ads running in the MIT newspaper advertising FUDCon
