FAD Fedora Talk 2009: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 15:33, 28 July 2009

To code-sprint our way to a better Fedora Talk system, complete with the following primary goals:
- On-demand recording and publishing (or at least dumping into a holding pen)
- Streaming capability for live events (it completely works + documentation on exactly how to set it up and operate at a live events)
In addition, we will attempt to complete the following secondary goals as time allows:
- On-demand conference room setup and teardown
- More control over conference room details (moderation, muting, etc.)
- Better web interface for some limited functionality
To spread knowledge and awareness of the Asterisk system's capabilities among a pool of people empowered to continue improvements in the future.
Document configuration of various clients. Jared will bring a suitcase full of different phones to assist in documenting configuration of clients.

Need at least one subject matter expert
Possibly a publictest instance for testing
A venue to host (Fredericksburg, VA!)
A couple O'Reilly Asterisk books sent to participants 30 days ahead, with reading recommendations

Location: Fredericksburg, VA
Date: Sept 11-13 (Fri-Sun)
Schedule
- Participants arrive Day 0-1 (Thu/Fri)
- Hack on Day 1-2 (Fri/Sat)
- Participants leave Day 3 (Sun)
Important skills (one or more)
- Asterisk
- Python
- TurboGears
- GStreamer
- Planning/design
Personnel (people who might fit the bill)
- Jared Smith (VA)
- Paul Frields (VA)
- ~~Jeff Ollie (IA)~~
- John Poelstra (OR)
- Ian Weller (KS)
- (infrastructure person?)
- others?
Other considerations
- Jared needs as much advance notice as possible. His October is much busier than September right now.
- Jared is better able to do Friday/Saturday than Saturday/Sunday
- May need to bring this in very cheaply, meaning minimize travel costs overall: play it by the numbers.
- Jeff Ollie can't do September, period, only second weekend in October or later.
- John Poelstra looking into Sept. 11-13 dates, possible conflict.
- Need to coordinate airport arrivals for everyone. RIC is preferred due to traffic from/to IAD and WAS.

Airfare: $1200
- Ian, John, two others
Hotel: ~$400 ($65/night * 3 nights * 2 dbl occupancy rooms)
Space: ~$250? (Businessplayce, 2 days in small conference room)
- We might use Paul's house instead, which has reliable Internet and is free.
