DebConf Planning 16:10:14 <olasd> #topic 2.1. Audio Hardware 16:11:04 <pollo> I think I saw a link from paddatrapper about this? 16:11:44 <pollo> ah no, it was Lenharo[m] asking questions 16:12:02 <olasd> EnkelenaH[m]: were you able to provide paddatrapper with the measured room dimensions? 16:12:20 <wouter> o/ 16:12:24 <wouter> sorry I'm late 16:13:16 <EnkelenaH[m]> I really forgot. But I have some hand made schemes here, I can just send an email 16:13:26 <olasd> yeah, that'd be good 16:13:50 <olasd> #action EnkelenaH[m] to send room schematics annotated with dimensions by email 16:14:20 <olasd> #topic 2.2. Network 16:14:48 <olasd> I understand there was a meeting with IPKO about this, and tumbleweed & EnkelenaH[m] got details on all the setup plan 16:15:12 <pollo> from the backlog, it seems we will need to run our own cables and routers 16:15:23 <pollo> but will have great uplinks? 16:15:46 <EnkelenaH[m]> I dont think we need to run routers 16:15:47 <paddatrapper> Sorry I'm late 16:16:30 <paddatrapper> We need a network for video between the various rooms, so we'll have to run our own for that 16:17:19 <olasd> well we don't really have to have everything on the same L2 network. it's just very convenient 16:17:55 <pollo> considering voctomix just accepts unauthenticated packets... 16:18:21 <pollo> at least it would be nice not to be on the same LAN as the wifi 16:18:24 <paddatrapper> And we can do it for the rooms in same building fairly easily 16:18:26 <olasd> voctomix can run on a private in-room network anyway 16:18:49 <olasd> from your discussion earlier I'm still a bit confused by the layout of the network, but I don't think anything is intractable. a diagram or three would help 16:19:06 <EnkelenaH[m]> whats the email for your team? 16:19:18 <wouter> debconf-video@lists.debian.org 16:19:58 <olasd> (and it seems that the video team is drafted as the network team, which is a bit "meh" as we usually have enough things to do. but I'm sure we'll be able to draft people to help on the spot) 16:21:04 <pollo> maybe it would be nice to send a mail on dc-announce about this? 16:21:20 <pollo> something like "looking for people to setup the network team, here are details" 16:21:31 <wouter> yeah, I think the set of skills required to run a network is more likely to be present in debconf attendees than is the set of skills to run video... ;-) 16:22:34 <pollo> if people think it's a good idea, I can take that task and coordinate with the global team 16:22:57 <wouter> I think go for it 16:24:01 <olasd> #action pollo to talk to tumbleweed and DebConf orga about recruiting a specific team to get the network set up at the venue 16:24:16 <olasd> anything else on this? 16:24:47 <olasd> #topic 2.3. Computers / Server 16:25:08 <pollo> EnkelenaH[m]: do you have the server specs? 16:25:19 <olasd> #info tumbleweed has reviewed the specs and we'll be able to put all our pci cards in the room PCs 16:27:31 <EnkelenaH[m]> https://zworkstations.com/products/z840/#tech-specs 16:27:46 <EnkelenaH[m]> 2 HDD X 16 TB, 64 GB RAM 16:28:43 <olasd> do you know which cpu in the 2600 series? 16:29:45 <wouter> yeah, because there are massive differences in the 2600 series 16:30:20 <pollo> olasd: maybe it would be a good idea to bring the PCIe NIC from the cube? 16:30:25 <EnkelenaH[m]> I can ask 16:30:28 <pollo> (it think it has one?) 16:30:30 <olasd> EnkelenaH[m]: please do 16:30:35 <wouter> that said though, I think an E5-2600 series is going to be good enough regardless of how many cores we get 16:30:42 <olasd> pollo: we have NICs in the camera flight cases already 16:31:10 <wouter> #info server will have 2x16TB HDD, 64G of RAM, and at least one Xeon E5-2600 v3 or v4 16:31:12 <olasd> (well, I'll need to take the cube out to get the blackmagic cards anyway... but.) 16:31:16 <olasd> #save 16:31:25 <wouter> (Xeon E5-2xxx also have dual CPU capability, so...) 16:32:00 <olasd> right. I think that's enough info, let's move on 16:32:06 <olasd> #topic 2.4. Opsis 16:32:18 <pollo> CarlFK[m]: can you confirm you are coming?& 16:32:21 <olasd> looks like CarlFK[m] will indeed make it with his opsises :P 16:32:36 <CarlFK[m]> I am! flights booked! 16:32:42 <olasd> (silly little blue booklet hiding in plain sight) 16:32:46 <pollo> \0/ 16:33:13 <olasd> #info CarlFK[m] has confirmed he'll be able to attend, no opsis shippage necessary 16:33:25 <olasd> #topic 2.5. Other 16:33:55 <pollo> was wafer used for the volunteering system during the last mini-dc? 16:34:01 <olasd> no 16:34:09 <CarlFK[m]> I have a lot of stuff - anything else I should bring? 16:34:32 <pollo> CarlFK[m]: "magic" hdmi cables are always useful 16:34:47 <CarlFK[m]> how many, how long? 16:35:01 <CarlFK[m]> "all of them" starts to get heavy 16:35:14 <pollo> I'll try to follow up with terceiro to get the volunteering system up before debcamp if possible, once the schedule is published 16:35:46 <pollo> CarlFK[m]: we have some, but a couple. we use them for the opsis mostlt 16:36:02 <olasd> we have much more than a couple 16:36:13 <olasd> ethernet crimping kit / cable tester(s)? label maker? (if you have a non-slow one :P) 16:36:34 <CarlFK[m]> Ill bring 3 long ones. 16:36:42 <olasd> yeah, sounds good 16:36:44 <pollo> I'm planning on bringing a soldering iron 16:36:55 <CarlFK[m]> is 2 Opsis enough? I have 3 handy. 16:37:05 <paddatrapper> I'll also bring crimper and cable tester 16:37:49 <olasd> CarlFK[m]: if 3 is not too much of a hassle then bring them all, IMO. although we've not screwed one up beyond repair in a while, who knows what can happen... :p 16:38:31 <CarlFK[m]> ok 16:38:48 <CarlFK[m]> "speaker test station" is a thing. 16:38:50 <olasd> I should have been working on my packing list this week but COVID decided I wasn't going at the office, so... 16:39:04 <wouter> awtch 16:39:11 <wouter> you didn't catch it, I hope? 16:39:22 <olasd> sure did 16:39:29 <wouter> oh dear 16:39:57 <pollo> Well, at least you won't catch it at DC.... 16:40:13 <olasd> :P 16:40:20 <wouter> yes, there is that 16:40:30 <wouter> I had it the first week I was in Belgium in 3 years... 16:40:39 <wouter> not *quite* why I wanted to go there 16:40:42 <olasd> anything else to think of related to DebConf? 16:41:25 <wouter> sorry. not from me, at least 16:41:48 <olasd> #topic Review last meeting's action items 16:42:06 <olasd> paddatrapper was to plan room layouts; that's dependent on measurements, which should be forthcoming 16:42:35 <olasd> #topic 4. Any other business? 16:43:06 <wouter> didn't we just do that? 16:43:08 <pollo> apparently Canadian airports are overflowing and 1/3 of all flights are being cancelled :) 16:43:10 <EnkelenaH[m]> I sent that 16:43:11 <wouter> "other", I mean :) 16:43:14 <pollo> wish me luck 16:43:21 * wouter holds thumbs 16:43:23 <olasd> wouter: we did DebConf other, now that's other-other :P 16:43:36 <olasd> e.g. 16:43:39 <wouter> well, yeah 16:43:54 <olasd> #info tumbleweed re-cut some Hamburg talks and sent them on to YouTube and PeerTube 16:44:08 <olasd> #topic 5.
