Hi Rich,
I will be in Vancouver starting the morning of the 11th. I can help and
I think I can provide (at least temporary) storage for the data and some
processing time. I am estimating some 75M/hr for audio and somewhere
under 1G/hr for video. I may bring a 4k camera, not sure how much that
uses per hr.
I would like to use this opportunity as an experiment to see if the
process could be crowd sourced and automated for future events. If we
could find some 15 mins to chat to educate me on what worked in the past
it'd be appreciated.
Cheers,
Hadrian

As some of you know, we do not have a sponsor to handle audio/video
recording at ApacheCon this year. Thus, we'll be doing it ourselves -
just audio, not video.
So, I need volunteers for the following things:
If you are willing to video presentations and put them on YouTube,
please step up and do this. Keynotes, in particular, would be appreciated.
More importantly, I'll be dealing with 8 tracks x 9 hours x 5 days of
audio that will need to be edited. This isn't complicated, it just requires:
* Computer with Audacity ( http://www.audacityteam.org/ ) installed, and
your own headphones
* Lots of patience
The process is:
* Dump huge files off of SD cards at the end of each day
* Split large recording into sessions
* Strip off leading, trailing noise
* Encode to mp3
* Upload to feathercast.apache.org
* Write brief boilerplate blog post (Name, Session title, Abstract)
If you are willing to do this for even an hour, please let me know. I
will be doing this each evening, for the duration of the event, and
probably quite a bit during the days. If you just drop by the hackathon
area, and help me out for even a brief time, I'll be very grateful.
Thanks.

(Looking towards next event, if you or your company want to sponsor
audio/video for the upcoming ApacheCon EU, your company will get a lot
of thanks and retweets out of this.)
