Basic setup

  • 2 main talk rooms (janson, K auditorium)

  • streamed (the main talk rooms)

  • audio entirely done by ULB

  • 1 camera, 1 twinpact

  • 2 laptops

  • Lightning talks room

  • Streamed

  • audio, appearantly done by ULB

  • 1 camera, 1 twinpact

  • 2 laptops

  • 19 developer rooms

  • 1 camera per room

  • 1 twinpact

  • audio, appearantly done by ULB

Check the rooms at https://fosdem.org/2014/schedule/rooms/ and https://fit.fosdem.org/wiki/Fosdem2014Devrooms

open questions / random stati

  • how many cameras with tripods ordered? any backups? 19 cameras have been ordered, all come with tripods.
  • wheezy + which dvswitch version?
    • debconf + bugfix for manual fade state machine failure?
    • which version / branch is that? It's in git
  • do we want 23 small switches to have uplink connectivity to get the data of the latops easily at night?
    • The plan is to record to the server during the event, and copy to local hard disk only as a backup. As such, we don't necessarily need 23 small switches (a few would be necessary, to deal with the laptops from U building; but I have some at the office, so that shouldn't be a major issue)

3 servers

  • how do we use them?

    • 6 rooms per server:
      • K building: video1
      • H building (minus 1301, Cornil): video2
      • Janson, AW building, H.1301: video3

    There is no wired connectivity to the U building; we'll need to record to local hard disk there, and possibly sneakernet them over with a USB disk or some such.

  • For U building: sync to servers by night from NOC

    • UA2.114 & UA2.252A: sync to video1
    • UD2.120: sync to video2
    • UD2.218A: sync to video3

Additionally, there are two USB hard disks to sneakernet data over in case of disk space issues

24 twinpacts

  • 2 from IRILL
  • 3 from FOSDEM
  • 10 from carl (2 need power supplies fixed)
  • 4 from Kenny (KDE)
  • 5 newly bought on eBay (no power supplies or remotes) testing now.

Thats 24 in total.

Planning

This is an initial planning for what we'll do during the week before FOSDEM.

  • Monday: install servers, configure them, install transcoding scripts, monitoring, etc
  • Tuesday: install & test laptops
  • Wednesday: hook up cameras & twinpacts, test things, divide gear over boxes
  • Thursday: go buy stuff if we figure out we're missing something, write documentation for volunteers, make waitscreen loop
  • Friday morning: margin in case we run behind schedule
  • Friday afternoon: bring gear to ULB, with help of FOSDEM logistics team. Possibly verify ULB audio set-up already in place, so we can ask for changes if necessary (and still possible...)
  • Saturday/Sunday, early-o-clock: go to ULB and be ready to hand out video gear to volunteers
  • Saturday/Sunday, 8:00 AM: yell at devrooms who've not shown up yet, go set up gear there ourselves (and possibly send volunteers there as well)
