| On Saturday, we'll try to copy tapes into digital format on the hard drives. Later we'll figure out how to get the digital files posted on YouTube or Google Video. What you need to bring: * A laptop that can handle Firewire digital video. (Mac using Quicktime or iMovie, Linux using dvgrab, Windows using ????). Options: * if you have a video camera, bring it; we'll provide cameras, but the more cameras, the faster we'll go. We'll provide the cameras, videotapes, and hard drives. === Questions? === Add any questions/suggestions to this section. == History == Last year we recorded partial audio of the speakers, but much material was lost |

PyCon Recording BoF & Discussion Page
The Plan
Current status: thanks to Herculean effort by Joe Baker (? I'm unsure of his last name ?), Carl Karsten, and Cosmin Stejeream, all of the videotaped material is being transferred to digital files. Sleeping on a cot in the A/V room overnight was involved.
The task may be done at this point; on Monday they were going through the tutorial recordings.
Last year we recorded audio of some speakers, but much material was lost due to A/V problems. We're paying more attention this year, and will have video as well as a lot more and better-quality audio.
This will result in dozens of gigabytes of material that needs to be examined, edited, cleaned up, and packaged as a podcast or as streaming videos. We're going to need a team of volunteers to work on it.
This is a great opportunity to learn about audio/video editing and podcasting, to experiment with editing software, and to practice your skills while contributing to the PyCon community.
Questions?
Add any questions/suggestions to this section.
Friday Agenda
- What needs to be done (editing, cleanup, podcast, uploading videos)
- How to organize it (how do volunteers claim tasks? where do we put the raw material?)
Where will we post material (audio on python.org podcast; video on Youtube, Google Video, ShowMeDo?) (someone from Google MTV took a disk of video back with them from linux.conf.au which helped things there)
- Overly-ambitious thought: captioning/transcripts?
