Hi all,

It seems that our previous recurrent meeting schedule didn't really work, so 
here is another crab.fit link

https://crab.fit/debconf-video-team-regular-meeting-slot-take-2-580695

We'll schedule the next meeting for week 17 (22-28 April 2024), then bi-weekly, 
so I'll tally the results next Friday.

Thanks,


Thanks to everyone who filled the poll.

The best timeslot seems to be Thursdays from 13:30 to 14:30 UTC.

Please note that our next meeting will thus be on *Thursday May 2nd, 
from 13:30 to 14:30 UTC.*

DC24 travel budget request for core videoteam

2024-04-15 Thread Louis-Philippe Véronneau

Dear DebConf team (and DPL!),

The DebConf videoteam met last Friday and we agreed on the following budget 
request for travel, food and accommodation for the core videoteam.

Here is what we're asking (the info is also on the wiki [1]):

==
| --  Name --  | --- Travel --- | --- Accommodation --- | -- 
Food -- |
| Louis-Philippe Véronneau | 2500 USD   | Yes   | Yes   
 |
| Carl Karsten | 2500 USD   | Yes   | Yes   
 |
| Kyle Robbertze   | 2200 USD   | Yes   | Yes   
 |
| Kurt Roeckx  | 2500 EUR   | No| Yes   
 |
| Kiran S Kunjumon | 1200 EUR   | Yes   | Yes   
 |
| NicolasDandrimont| 2000 EUR   | Yes   | Yes   
 |
==

Total: 7200 USD + 5700 EUR

We'll also need some budget for the videoteam shipping expenses from Paris, but 
we don't have a good estimate for this for now.

Cheers,

Call for core videoteam members for DebConf24

2024-03-31 Thread Louis-Philippe Véronneau

Hi,

We've started preparing for the upcoming DebConf24, which will take
place in Busan, South Korea, from Sunday July 28th to Sunday August 4th 
2024. DebCamp will be held from Sunday July 21st to Saturday July 27th 
2024 [1].


If you are planning to go to DC24 and want to join the core videoteam 
(with great powers comes great responsibilities...), please reach out!


As always, Debian can provide travel, accommodation and food sponsorship 
for core videoteam members if requested. If you plan to ask for 
sponsorship, please fill out the following page on the Debian wiki [2].


Note the deadline to ask for videoteam core sponsorship is April 12th, 
which happens to be our next meeting :) More info on that in the other 
email I just sent to the debconf-video mailing list.


If you plan to go to DC24 and be part of the core team, it would be a 
good idea if you came :)

Re: Recording for upcoming Mini-Debconf Berlin 2024

2024-01-07 Thread Louis-Philippe Véronneau

Hi!

Thanks for reaching out. I won't be there, but I wanted to point out 
this helpful page I wrote a while ago:


https://debconf-video-team.pages.debian.net/docs/working_with_videoteam.html

When/If people here decide they'll be available for the event, going 
through the venue checklist would be super appreciated!


I would also highly recommend you reach out on #debconf-team (or on 
their ML) to get them to spin you up a "MiniDebConf in a box" instance.


It makes our work much more pleasant and generally provides attendees a 
better UX than just a wiki page :)


For example: https://tn23.mini.debconf.org/

Is it possible to have the video team to provide streaming and recording

Poll for the next regular meeting slot for the videoteam

2023-11-02 Thread Louis-Philippe Véronneau

Now that DebConf23 is over, it would be a good idea to find a new 
regular meeting slot.


If you want to participate to the videoteam efforts for DC24, please 
fill this poll:


https://crab.fit/debconf-videoteam-regular-meeting-slot-471760

As you can see, it's not the regular polling software we're using :) 
crab.fit has support for timezones, so in theory it should make things 
simpler for everyone.


You can "login" (without creating an account) by adding your name at the

I won't be at DebConf this year, but on my side, I feel like we've tried 
remote presentations and they don't work.


We can manage the technical side (although it's a hassle...), but they 
just aren't interesting. People don't go to DebConf to sit in a room and 
watch someone on a screen.


The result is very low audience participation compared to other talks 
and an overall feeling of disengagement that isn't great for anyone.


I would thus urge the content team not to accept remote presentations, 
if not for the very exceptional occasion.

Videoteam sprint in July 2023

2023-05-24 Thread Louis-Philippe Véronneau

Hello!

We have been talking about a possible sprint in July for some weeks now, 
but it seems things are taking form.


We've been offered a space in Paris (April's offices [1]) and I've 
created a poll to try to find the best suitable dates for the event:


https://deb.li/3fKGg

Please reply *before May 31st*.

I've also created a page on the Debian wiki [2], but it needs work :P 
I'll probably get to it before our next weekly meeting.


If you can't come (I haven't myself decided if I'll fly...) there's 
always the possibility of working on issues remotely, so don't hesitate 
to fill the poll nonetheless.

DebConf videoteam travel and accommodation sponsorship requirements

2022-04-02 Thread Louis-Philippe Véronneau
Dear DebConf bursaries team,

In preparation for DC22, the DebConf videoteam has made and approved a
list of the accommodation and travel sponsorship needs of its core members:

1. Louis-Philippe Véronneau (pollo): Travel from Montréal to Kosovo:
~1400 EUR + on-site accommodation.

2. Kyle Robbertze (paddatrapper): Travel from Cape Town to Kosovo: ~1000
EUR + on-site accommodation.

3. Stefano Rivera (tumbleweed): Travel from ? to Kosovo (probably via
San Francisco to collect opsis in storage = an extra 1000 EUR): 1000 EUR
+ on-site accommodation.

4. Daniel Lenharo de Souza (lenharo): Travel from Curitiba (CWB) to
Kosovo: ~1550 EUR + on-site accommodation.

We deem these people essential to make video recording and streaming at
DC22 happen. As such, we kindly ask you approve their travel and
accommodation requests.

Cheers,

AFAIU, what you are describing is different than what was asked by
Kentaro / Gunnar.

I don't think documenting things that happen during DebCamp for remote
attendees is something the DebConf videoteam can do, as we're typically
swamped with getting our setup ready in time for DebConf (when we're not
participating in other sprints ourselves...)

DebCamp will be held between July 10th and 16th 2022. [1]

As per previous in-person DebConfs (it's been a while!), we will need to
give the bursaries team a clear overview of our budget requirements for
travel and accommodation for our *core team members*.

If you are planning to go to DC22, consider yourself a core videoteam
member (with great powers comes great responsibilities...) and require
either travel or accommodation sponsorship, please add your name to the
following email draft:

https://pad.riseup.net/p/dc22corevideoteamtravel-keep

Our next meeting will be held on May 31st, were we will discuss and
hopefully approve said email draft. You have until then to modify it!

We've been asked if it would be possible to record and stream the
upcoming Debian Reunion Hamburg, which will take place from May 23rd to
May 30th 2022 in Hamburg, Germany. More details about this event can be
found here [1].

This is a call for volunteers! We will need people to help with the
cameras, the audio mixing and the video mixing, but help setting up the
gear before-hand would also be appreciated.

Many people from the videoteam core said they wouldn't be able to
attend, but tumbleweed has volunteered to be team lead for this event.

Thursdays at 16:00 UTC would work for me most of the time yes.

I was OK with the 17th for the next meeting, the problem was the
meetings after that one.

Are the DebConf Team meetings weekly? Otherwise, we could keep the
Monday @18:00 slot and alternate with them bi-weekly until further notice.

Poll for the Q&A Webapp sprint

2021-06-10 Thread Louis-Philippe Véronneau
Hello!

Stefano and I are planning to do a short sprint to work on the Q&A
Webapp [1].

Others might want to join, so here's a poll to find a suitable date:

https://deb.li/3oPA4

Since we've decided to make this a wafer module, you might want to have
a go at building a wafer dev environment before the sprint [2]. At
least, I know I will :P

Questions from the videoteam for DC21

2021-04-15 Thread Louis-Philippe Véronneau
Hello Team people!

The Videoteam has had its first meeting in a while and we've started
planning for DC21. From now on, we'll have bi-weekly meetings on
Thursdays, the next meeting being on 2021-04-29 @ 18:00 UTC.

To help us plan ahead, we have two questions we'd like you to answer:

1. How many concurrent tracks should we plan for?

DC20 had a single official track and an ad-hoc one. That seemed to work
well, but you might have more ambitious plans for DC21.

2. When is DC21 going to be?

Terceiro's last email said "during the 3rd quarter of 2021", but that's
not very precise...

Having something clearer would help us build our work calendar and let
us manage our expectations. For example, some projects might not be
feasible for a conf in early July, and others might be for one in late Sept.

I understand you might not have an answer to these questions at the
moment. If not, giving us an estimate of when you will would be appreciated.

Cheers,

2021-04-07 Thread Louis-Philippe Véronneau
Hello folks!

It was recently announced DebConf21 will be an online conference. As
such, we should probably start to have regular meetings again.

Here's a poll you can fill with your preferred meeting dates. Please
note we're likely to re-use the same time slot for future meetings.

https://storm.debian.net/shared/6aYHi7F2Ivj_anLjPC7E4nGqvQGsgN4JTWufsZd0WkE

You have until Sunday April 11th at 23:59 UTC to reply to the poll. I'll
send the official announcement shortly after.

Meanwhile, have a look at the draft agenda:

It's really not complete, but my brain is elsewhere today... If you have
ideas, please add them!

We also currently ingest XLR audio via one of our camera, to try to

I'm mostly concerned about this. Having a bare-metal machine lets us do
a lot of things, but also adds complexity to our system. Running an
hypervisor means more maintenance to keep things secure and I think we
could do without that.

If possible, I would prefer if we had VPSes.

The DebConf Video Team Needs YOU

2020-08-20 Thread Louis-Philippe Véronneau
DebConf relies on volunteers to record and stream videos. Each and every
talk given at DebConf this year needs two video volunteers, namely:

* a Talkmeister (to introduce the talks and manage Q&A)
* a Director (Video Mixer)

These tasks are documented in detail in the Video Team's online
documentation [1].

We need your help to do this work. We'll teach you how to do all of
these tasks, but rest assured, it's far simpler than compiling QT6.

Three training sessions will be held on Saturday August 22nd on Jitsi
[2], at 11:30-12:30 UTC, 16:00-17:00 UTC and 23:00-00:00 UTC. Please
register on the wiki if you plan to attend a training session [3].

You can volunteer for a talk on the DebConf20 website [4]. If you can,
please register for talks in advance to help us plan accordingly.

Helping the Video Team can be a great way to contribute to the
conference and listen to talks at the same time.

Come join us, we don't bite!

"Retiring" from DebConf

2019-08-02 Thread Louis-Philippe Véronneau
Hey folks,

I had been waiting for DebConf19's end to send this email. For lack of
a better word, I'm "retiring" from all my DebConf involvement.

I can't picture myself participating in a conference taking place in
Israel, much less helping organise one there. Against the continued
disregard for the rights of the Palestinian people, I feel the only
power I have as an individual living in North America is to heed
the call of the BDS movement [1].

I hadn't been doing a lot of orga stuff lately anyway and I did little
work on the DebConf Sponsors team this year. I'm mainly stepping down
from my coordination tasks in the DebConf Videoteam. Someone else
will have to organise meetings and events, craft agendas and keep track
of the team's deadlines from now on :)

As a result, I've quit a bunch of DebConf mailing lists, RT tracker
queues, Salsa groups and IRC channels. I've also asked DSA to remove me
from *@debconf.org* aliases. I'll still lurk in the DebConf Videoteam
IRC channel and on the mailing list, but it saddens me to say I will
not be doing any concrete work for the videoteam this year, or at least
nothing related to DC20.

I want to thank all the people that have helped organise DebConfs
in the past few years, and in particular the incredible folks part of
the videoteam. Thanks for the amazing ride this has been. I've learned
and grew a lot as a person since Heidelberg and DC15. More importantly,
I've had a lot of fun.

I sincerely hope one day we'll all get to see peace in Palestine and
Israel.

That'd be awesome!

You could also add a KGB webhook to the subs repository to send messages
to the #debconf-video channel. It would really help us see the work you
do and keep up with the subs team!

Our next IRC meeting is on Tuesday June 25th from 18:00 to 19:00 UTC.
I've added a point to our agenda [1] about this. Let's make it happen!

If people from the substeam could be there (it's the first item on the

The current /etc/ssh/sshd_config file uses:

AuthorizedKeysFile /etc/ssh/userkeys/%u /var/lib/misc/userkeys/%u
/etc/ssh/userkeys/%u.more

This means /home/sreview/.ssh/authorized_keys isn't read by openssh-server.

If DSA agrees to what were proposing, this file would need to be read by
the openssh-server to let us sync files via rrsync.

Semi-automated sync to vittoria -- SSH key management

2019-05-25 Thread Louis-Philippe Véronneau
Hi!

I'm following up on issue #13 in our ansible bug tracker [1] about
setting up a semi-automated sync to vittoria.

During confs and mini-confs, we need to be able to sync files from the
voctomix (live video mixer) machines in the rooms to Vittoria.

Currently, the way we do it is that a member of the videoteam group adds
temporary SSH keys to their Debian account for that machine.

What we would like to do is to be able to add restricted SSH keys,
allowed to access the sreview user, in the form of:

--
command="/srv/sreview.debian.org/home/bin/rrsync -wo
/srv/sreview.debian.org/input",no-agent-forwarding,no-port-forwarding,no-pty,no-user-rc,no-X11-forwarding
ssh-rsa B[...]KYl videoteam@voctomixXY
--

The actual sync is done via a CLI script (which is a basic rsync
wrapper) that can be found here [2]. The rrsync script is directly
gunzipped from rsync's documentation.

It seems that 1 year ago when Wouter approached DSA on IRC, you seemed
open to the ideas as long as the authorized keys changes were done
through a command line interface rather than through a webinterface.

Modifying the authorized_keys file would be done manually by a member of
the team at the beginning of each conference.

Cheers!

I don't really see why this is a problem at all. Even if the money goes
through SPI, it's not as if SPI was directly buying the projector for UTFPR.

SPI can buy it for the Debian project, and then the Debian project can
do whatever it wants with it.

As Hector puts it, we can 'forget' the projector there and never claim
it back if that really causes a legal problem.

Re: Setting sReview for the Marseille and the Hamburg mini-confs

2019-05-14 Thread Louis-Philippe Véronneau
Ccing Jérémy Lecour from Evolix who's working hard on making the
mini-conf happen.

For brevity's sake, here's the TL;DR:

1. If possible, we would like to have an URL to a machine-readable
version of the schedule so that our reviewing system can be auto-updated

2. Individual talks currently don't have an explicit start and end
times. Our reviewing system needs that.

Setting sReview for the Marseille and the Hamburg mini-confs

2019-05-06 Thread Louis-Philippe Véronneau
Hey Wouter,

We haven't heard from you in a while! I hope you're settling well in
South Africa and are enjoying the weather there :D

I'm writing to you to talk about the coming Marseille and Hamburg
mini-confs. I was wondering if you could setup sReview for us so that we
can publish the videos quickly.

The Marseille mini-conf will take place on May 25-26th. You can find the
current schedule here [1].

The Hamburg mini-conf will take place on June 8-9th. The schedule hasn't
been published yet, but should be in the coming weeks.

Happy to talk about this over mail, but if you have time to drop in, our
next IRC meeting will be Tuesday May 7th from 18:00 to 19:00 UTC.

Cheers!

That sounds perfectly OK to me. Setup shouldn't take much more than a
few hours if everything goes well.

That would be very nice. If we can scout the location beforehand it will
help us identify possible roadblocks like:

* network access issues
* camera location
* projector compatibility

We wouldn't need much more than an hour to verify those things.

Mini-DebConf Marseille -- videoteam sprint

2019-04-05 Thread Louis-Philippe Véronneau
Hey Gregory!

Turns out a few people of the videoteam will make it to the Marseille
Mini-conf. At the moment 4 people confirmed, but another person is also
thinking about coming.

If possible, we'd like a space where we can sprint before the event. It
doesn't have to be very big as we won't be unpacking the cameras there,
but somewhere not too far from the mini-conf venue with an internet
access would be nice.

Do you think you could hook us up with something? I'm arriving on the
21st, so if we could start on the 22nd or the 23rd it would be great.

Reducing streaming latency

2019-03-20 Thread Louis-Philippe Véronneau
Hey Wookey!

This was "Re: Debconf20 will be in...". Moving the thread to
debconf-video :D

On 19-03-20 17 h 44, Wookey wrote:
> We were well ahead of the trend in videoing all talks+questions
> effectively. I think we should see what we can do to use technology to
> make effective remote interaction work. Currently there is too much
> lag on outgoing video (~30seconds?)

Maybe some other members of the DebConf Videoteam can chime in to
correct me if I'm wrong, but:

1. At most DebConfs, we are dependent on the existing networking
infrastructure. The stack the venues run inevitably creates overheads.

2. Having video at all at DebConfs is already quite a feat. We often get
the rooms very little time in advance and prefer to focus our energy
into making sure the sound is good and that videos are mixed, recorded
and streamed somewhere.

That doesn't mean we don't care about creating a better experience for
remote attendees, but we're already struggling to make the current stack
work. Any new solution needs either to decrease the current work to
bring up the stack or at least to not have any impacts on it.

3. Some of the delay is attributable to our live video mixing setup that
uses voctomix and gstreamer. Voctomix needs quite beefy machines to run
and processing three inputs (2 cameras + speaker's laptop) isn't an easy
task. Often, we struggle to find machines as powerful as we'd like.

IIRC, the feed out of voctomix easily has a good 3-5 seconds delay already.

If you can point us to other projects using a voctomix stack (CCC VOC,
LCA, etc.) that have worked on latency issues, it would be a nice
pointer for us.

If you want to have a look at voctomix's performance, I'm sure a lot of
people would benefit from it. I guess [1] would be a good place to start.

4. Our streaming setup is documented here [2]. As you can see, we are
using a local streaming frontend and multiple geolocated mirrors for
performance reasons. Nicolas knows better, but this is bound to create
delays.

We are also processing the videos with FFMPEG to downsample them, as
some remote attendees don't always have a very good internet connection.
Again, more delays.

Finally, we are using buffers to make the videos watchable. Without
buffers, streamed videos can get choppy. Again, not an expert on this,
but maybe something in our nginx-rtmp configuration could be tweaked? If
you want to have a look at it, it's all here [3] and here [4].

> and no incoming video/audio, so it's pretty-much broadcast-only.

I don't have a good solution to this. If you can point us to something
that's easy to implement and that does not require tons of extra gear or
a shitton more work to setup, I'm sure we would be interested. Our
current audio schemas can be found here [5].

If you want to follow-up on any of this, I think the best thing to do
would be to create a new issue on our bug tracker [6].

Again, it's not that we don't care, more that we don't have enough time
to do everything we would like to :D

As you can see, everything we do (docs, code, etc.) is on Salsa, so feel
free to tinker and send us patches if you have some spare time.

Bleh, I forgot to remind y'all about the meeting and I myself ended up
forgetting.

I've trying hard to adopt some new habits recently and it's taking a
bunch of my spoons.

Anyway, after talking about it on IRC, we'll meet next week instead:

The next meeting will thus be on *Tuesday March 5th from 18:00 to 19:00
UTC*.

I've added a bunch of reminders to my calendar so I shouldn't forget

Postponing our next meeting

Hey folks,

Our next meeting was scheduled to be on Feb. 12th, but as stated on IRC,
I don't think we'll have a lot of things to say.

I'm thus postponing the meeting by 2 weeks, to Tuesday February 26th
from 18:00 to 19:00 UTC.

I think asking that question was reasonable.

As Paulo told us, the other events (FTSL, FISL and Latinoware) don't
have any money. That answer satisfies me.

If the other conferences were large corporate conferences with tons of
money I think it would have been fair to ask them for a share.
Apparently, this is not the case.

As for a "Brazil" branch of the Videoteam, I don't think anyone here is
against the idea. Having our setup replicated by others is why we are
using tools like Ansible and why we write documentation.

I'm happy Paulo is coming to the next video sprint near FOSDEM as it
will be the occasion to show him a bunch of stuff. I'm also positive
DebConf19 will help others learn how our setup works.

Sorry if the questions I asked on IRC weren't clear enough on that regard :(

Hello!

We had a misunderstanding with folks from the linuxbe.com training
center and we had to change our sprint dates.

We'll thus be sprinting from Monday January 28th to Friday February
1st, still at the Linux BE training center in Diegem.

We are asking for a total budget of €2,250, mainly for travel
sponsorship. The detail of the budget can be found here [1].

If you are planning to come to the sprint, please add your name on the

The next step is to find out how much money we need to ask from the DPL.
If you need travel sponsorship or some kind of reimbursement to make it
to the sprint, *please fill out the budget section before November 26th*.

During our last meeting, we went through a few options for a winter sprint.

I made a wiki page to help organise the information:

During our last meeting [1], people seemed open to the idea of holding a
videoteam sprint around FOSDEM.

As such, we were discussing the possibility of borrowing/renting the
Linux Belgium space in Diegem [2] the team used last year.

Do you think you could ask them if we can make that happen? At the
moment, dates are not very clear but I assume our goal would be the week
prior or the week after the FOSDEM weekend.

Autumn sprint -- any ideas?

2018-08-18 Thread Louis-Philippe Véronneau
Hello folks!

DebConf18 is now somewhat over and most of us are back at home now. Time
to plan ahead!

We normally held our Autumn sprint during the Cambridge mini-conf, but
it seems there won't be one this year (blame renovations at ARM).

Are you still interested in having a sprint somewhere? I'm not 100%
certain I can make it if it happens in $COUNTRY, but I'd be happy to
participate remotely if something happens.

I do have some free time this winter though, so if people are interested
we can try to have a winter sprint in Montreal.

We used a 2015 i5 at DebConf18 and we had a lot of trouble. We had to
reduce the preview quality a lot since we were loosing frame and were
experiencing audio desync because of a high CPU usage.

I think the main difference between our setups is we have a 2nd camera
and thus 3 sources.

From our tests the linux kernel patches for Specter (KPTI) also has a
large impact.

But you don't have an audience camera that is 50+ meters away from the

In our recent tests, a 2015 i5 was not sufficient to run voctomix

SDI is preferable to HDMI, since you'll have to use HDMI extenders if
you go with HDMI.

The camera should be able to do 720p.

If you buy capture cards, please try to get the same cards we have. Ours
are Blackmagic Decklink Mini Recorder and cost around 150USD/card.

It might also be a good idea to think about getting tally lights [1]. We
bought serial PCI-e cards for our mixing computers and pair those with
serial to ethernet adapters and a serial led at the end.

In theory, the 'Hardware' section of our documentation [2] lists
everything you need.

"Monthly" videoteam meeting - *Wednesday April 25th from 19:00 to 20:00 UTC*

2018-04-18 Thread Louis-Philippe Véronneau
Hey folks,

Once again, I dropped the ball and kinda forgot about the meeting we
were supposed to have on April 18th (today). University is taking a
large chunk of the spoons I have these days :(

We need to meet before the Hamburg mini-DC, so I'm calling our next
meeting for *Wednesday April 25th from 19:00 to 20:00 UTC*.

You can find the proposed agenda here: http://deb.li/35Rds. Please add
things there if you want to talk about them.

Hamburg Mini-DC: microphones for the videoteam

2018-04-05 Thread Louis-Philippe Véronneau
Hey Holger!

The videoteam decided that we would not be able to buy a new audio kit
in time for the Hamburg Mini-DC.

As you already know, our microphones are slowly dying and we are not
sure they'll be reliable enough to use them in a satisfactory way during
the conference.

We would thus need to borrow/rent a microphone kit. Maybe the CCC VOC
could lend us one?

We need:

* 2 x wireless handheld microphones
* 2 x wireless headset microphones (lapels can work, be we prefer headsets)
* the wireless receiver to go with the mics

We have cables and a mixing desk, so we won't need those.

Thanks!

Debian RT: Redirect https://video.debconf.org to https://debconf-video-team.pages.debian.net/docs

2018-03-22 Thread Louis-Philippe Véronneau
Hi!

As you may know, the DebConf videoteam is using the static hosting
functions on salsa.debian.org for its documentation:

https://debconf-video-team.pages.debian.net/docs/

Now that wildcard certificates are available on LE and that
*.pages.debian.net has a valid TLS certificate, we would like to request
a redirection from https://video.debconf.org to
https://debconf-video-team.pages.debian.net/docs.

Since we also use this website for the mini-confs as a webui for our
stream, it would be very nice to have a convenient URL to publicise.

It seems this requires DSA to setup an Apache VHost somewhere to do this
redirection.

Is this something you could do?

Thanks in advance,

I just got an answer from the DPL and I'll be able to make it too. \0/

Looking at the audio hardware list, I'm not sure this is possible... The
microphones we wanted to buy need the expensive 6k$ Wireless Receiver to
work :(. Maybe Kyle or Andy can chime in and tell us if there is
something we could do?

The other alternative if we don't trust our audio gear would be to rent
some for the mini-conf.

> We should also get the mixer that's at Andy's place so we can use it.

Our DPL is planning to come to the mini-conf and irrc he resides in
Cambridge. Maybe we could ask him if he can mule the mixer for us?
