[lac-streams] streamteam report day one

[Eric Dantan Rzewnicki]

Hello,

Thank you to the organziers for all your hard work.

And thank you to the volunteers who have helped with the streams. :)

It's really great to have a larger team this year.
Streaming went fairly well today. I'm not sure exactly how many
listeners we had as we are relaying locally on the server in order to
provide audio only streams. But, I think we had at least 120 viewers at
the peak. Ryan is working out from the logs how many unique IPs
connected.

The team has a few requests for the organizers:

Is it still possible that we could get a few students to help us out
with camera work? We don't have a lot of people and not everyone can be
here for each talk.

Can the sound installations in the Aula entrance be shutdown during the
talks? The sound is quite disturbing from the projection cabine and it
is being heard on the streams causing people to think something has gone
wrong. If the stream viewers can hear it, the audience memebers here
must also be hearing it.

There is some additional information we would like to add to the text on
the Streaming page at lac.linuxaudio.org. Is it possible to get access
to the wordpress site to update it?

Can the person introducing speakers remind questioners (and themselves)
to hold the microphone near their mouths when speaking?

One fun thing: If we can get a copy of one of the posters to put up on
the mixing balcony door, we can show it during breaks.

I think that's it for today. I am asking volunteers to be here by 10am
tomorrow. I intend to be here at 9am.

Thanks everyone,
Eric

(P.S. is there a secret free food room for volunteers and speakers as at
past LACs? failing that, I've been instructed to requst pizza :) )
