DV firewire out 18:11:45 <h01ger> dc14 will still be vga projector conf... i'd strongly suggest or say ;-p 18:11:55 <h01ger> CarlFK: and you have xlr cables? 18:12:16 <CarlFK> and I have swtiched to using camera xlr. partly because of h01ger's request at pycon.de - thank you for the nudge 18:12:24 <CarlFK> I have xlr cables. 18:12:29 <h01ger> :-) 18:12:34 <h01ger> my pleasure. 18:12:40 <h01ger> :-D 18:12:48 <h01ger> #info we'll use xlr for audio 18:12:55 <h01ger> we need audio mixers from psu? 18:13:05 <h01ger> #topic other hardware we need 18:13:15 <jrayhawk> Should I attempt to get mics/mixers/amps/speakers from free personal sources, or are we happy with paying that $900? 18:13:16 <CarlFK> nope, I will bring 4 audio mixers 18:14:02 <jrayhawk> Hmm. I suppose I don't know enough people with projectors. 18:14:13 <CarlFK> jrayhawk: I hope we are ok paying $900. unless you can get the screens and projectors too 18:14:20 <tassia> h01ger: why don't we buy some vga/hdmi adaptors? just to avoid surprises 18:14:23 <h01ger> jrayhawk: of course we are more happy if we get them free of charge 18:14:35 <jrayhawk> I think I can only do one screen/projector. 18:15:03 <h01ger> tassia: if they exist for reasonable prices we absolutly should 18:15:21 <h01ger> #info carl will also bring audio mixers. 18:15:32 <h01ger> so all we need is projectors, screens and speakers + amps? 18:15:41 <h01ger> (and moar storage) 18:15:43 <bwh> tassia: Hmm, I think those will be quite expensive in general. Maybe some laptops can be switched to VGA output with a passive adapter but then it is probably specific to that model/manufacturer 18:16:03 <tiago> about $30 18:16:14 <tassia> http://www.amazon.co.uk/Neewer-Black-Adapter-Converter-Laptop/dp/B007KEIRNG 18:16:15 <h01ger> CarlFK: so all we need is projectors, screens and speakers + amps? 18:16:40 <bwh> tassia: wow 18:16:42 <CarlFK> h01ger: correct, at least for in the room 18:16:42 <tassia> but I'm not the pbest person to say that this is what we need 18:16:57 * h01ger likes to file this 900 usd budget and vga/hdmi adaptors under (important) "details" for after the meeting 18:17:06 <h01ger> CarlFK: what else besides the rooms is there? 18:17:22 <p2-mate> bwh: yes, chromebooks don't have vga for example 18:17:35 <h01ger> so anything else about hw or should we move to sw? 18:17:41 <nattie> could someone just get those adapters and expense them? 18:17:56 <tiago> h01ger, projectors 18:17:59 <CarlFK> h01ger: file server and I suspect some switches that will be in the NOC (Network Operations Center) which I think is someone elses problem 18:18:00 <h01ger> nattie: if they exist, feel free to do so 18:18:07 <tiago> i can't see the solution 18:18:10 <tiago> renting? 18:18:24 <h01ger> #info file server and switches (hi NOC, hi RichiH) are missing. 18:18:48 <edrz> i think kees is the local handling network stuff. 18:19:07 <h01ger> he's not here. edrz, could you pass taht on to him? 18:19:18 <h01ger> next topic? 18:19:18 <jrayhawk> I manage servers in colocation at PSU which can be used for storage or rtp/rtsp/rtmp purposes. 18:19:40 <h01ger> jrayhawk: na, we want our own. thanks but no thanks. 18:19:57 <h01ger> #topic software stac 18:20:00 <CarlFK> also.. shipping 1000 lbs of gear and boxes (which is heavier than the gear) from chicago to portland and back: $2000.
