<goibhniu> I'm going to have to leave the microphone stand behind ... it's too bulky ... I'll bring a small desktop stand though, that might help

<zimbatm> flokli: adisbladis any messaging app you prefer?
<zimbatm> we should probably start a Whatsapp orgateam group or something
<zimbatm> got Whatsapp, Signal or Telegram already installed
<flokli> I ditched most mobile messengers when signal decided to nuke the possibility to do backups with titanium backup (as the decryption key was moved into some secure storage) without notice, nuking my message history
<flokli> so I decided to get rid of Threema, FB Messenger and Telegram as well
<zimbatm> IRCCloud? :)
<flokli> WhatsApp is still left, because of some non-technical people
<flokli> but I doubt it'll be andi- approved
<flokli> I can receive IRC and XMPP (via xmpp) on my mobile too ;-)

<zimbatm> IRC foreva
<goibhniu> Hi zimbatm, do you happen to know if we'll be able to access the location on Wednesday evening already? I'll be in Euston around 17:00.
<zimbatm> goibhniu: I know that we can on Thu at 7am for an extra 50.-
<zimbatm> I should have asked both at the same time
<goibhniu> oh
<goibhniu> hrm
<zimbatm> I'll probably know by tomorrow
<goibhniu> I guess they'd charge for wednesday access too
<goibhniu> otherwise we just get access at 9:00 on thursday, is it?
<zimbatm> 8am is free
<zimbatm> I think it's free between 8am to 7pm
<goibhniu> 50 seems like a lot for an hour
<goibhniu> I'd say 8 is okay ... we'll have 2.5 hours until the talks start ... what could possibly go wrong :D
<zimbatm> I'm happy to pay 50.- if it means better AV
<zimbatm> running to the shops :)
<goibhniu> hrm
<goibhniu> it's only 15 mins from Tottenham Court Rd. by bike ... which makes a lot of things possible
<adisbladis> zimbatm: I prefer matrix, whatsapp is OK but voice calls are not too fantastic
<adisbladis> flokli: ^
<flokli> adisbladis: you can connect to freenode through matrix, right? ;-)
<adisbladis> flokli: I'm fine with irc :) I thought that zimbatm was looking for something more fancy
<adisbladis> IRC is the social network of the future
<flokli> adisbladis: github is my social network :-P
<adisbladis> <3
<goibhniu> zimbatm: I'm still happy enough with 8:00 TBH
<adisbladis> I'll be arriving at LHR at 13:00 tomorrow
goibhniu[m] has joined #nixcon
<fadenb> matrix ftw, currently using irc via private irc bridge :)
<fadenb> we could create matrix room and bridge it to irc. Best of both worlds
<goibhniu> that sounds cool
<goibhniu> this will be a busier channel during the conference, I suppose ... I wonder if we should have one just for the team as well
<adisbladis> #nixcon-orga?
<goibhniu> perfect!
<goibhniu> BTW what's the story with the graphics? ... are you looking after the lower thirds and title graphics for the videos adisbladis?
<adisbladis> goibhniu: Hm? What do you mean?
<goibhniu> ah, I may have misunderstood ... I know samueldr was preparing graphics which had the names of the speakers and the talk titles on them at one stage ... but then I heard you had been doing some funky stuff with the logo (making the time on the clock show the current time etc.)
<adisbladis> goibhniu: Ahh, that's the overlay
<adisbladis> I also have a "coming-up" screen prepared. I'll upload it to github now
<goibhniu> is that your baby then?
<adisbladis> Yeah. I'm taking care of it.
<adisbladis> samueldr may also have done something. I don't know.
<goibhniu> excellent ... yeah, I know you were both doing some testing with alpha channels etc. ... so I wasn't sure how that panned out
<goibhniu> it's not the end of the world if we don't have it, but it's a nice addition
<adisbladis> goibhniu: Works pretty well I think =)
<goibhniu> great!
<goibhniu> hopefully the setup goes smoothly and we have a chance to test it out before the talks start
<goibhniu> if you have something I can take a look at, I can play with it on the train
<adisbladis> goibhniu: I've uploaded everything to the nixcon github
<goibhniu> ah, cool! So that's the clock, right?
<goibhniu> maybe samueldr has been taking care of the other stuff then
<samueldr> I still have the lower thirds shown the other day, still need to generate them, but this can be done ad-hoc (verified I can)
<goibhniu> lovely!
<samueldr> and to reduce networking woes, I have prepared snearkernetty usb drives
<goibhniu> so, how will it work?
<samueldr> still not sure :/
<goibhniu> :D
<samueldr> it works as a media element in an obs scene
<samueldr> that is 100% confirmed working smoothly
<adisbladis> Perfect :)
<samueldr> but I don't know how the obs scenes are going to be built
<samueldr> though since the names are quite limited, it might be fine to update or make the ad-hoc
<adisbladis> Sounds fine
<goibhniu> ok, so you'll render the videos for the title sequences and the lower thirds and give them to me on a usb stick
<goibhniu> I don't think there's any need for scenes
<goibhniu> changing scenes messed up the audio last year anyway
<samueldr> (I may have had my terminlogy wrong though)
<goibhniu> and the videos will loop, right?
<samueldr> I don't think so; not really feasible the way it's done right now :/
<goibhniu> I mean, when I add them, if I let them loop ... will that look ok?
<samueldr> comes in, 10s later, comes out
<goibhniu> ok, cool
<samueldr> I believe the default is not to loop or something along the way
<samueldr> it was fine in tests
<samueldr> though I'm now thinking I might as well steal the lower third texts only and generate static PNGs for other uses
<adisbladis> Do you have a sound card with mic pre-amp? I can bring mine if we need it.
<goibhniu> ah, I do yeah, although a backup might be nice!
<goibhniu> what one have you got?
<adisbladis> EMU 0204
<goibhniu> cool, if you could bring it, that would be a nice option
<adisbladis> Check, packed :)
<goibhniu> I'm disappointed about the mic stand (I don't have space for it)
<goibhniu> samueldr: do you have a sample I can play with? ... I think I've only seen https://stuff.samueldr.com/nixcon/2018/draft-namecard-part.v1.compressed.mp4
<goibhniu> I'd like the transparent version, with just the graphics
<goibhniu> when I add that as a media source, I get a blank screen :)
<goibhniu> VLC video source works though
<goibhniu> and I can control it, so it only plays once ... so, that's perfect
<goibhniu> do you make music adisbladis?
<goibhniu> hrm, the VLC video source is a bit buggy
<adisbladis> goibhniu: Nope.. I'm just a headphone nerd
<goibhniu> oh! I noticed your IEMs the other day :D
<adisbladis> Shure SE846 <3
<goibhniu> oh wow!
<samueldr> uploaded
<goibhniu> you're a star! thanks!
lassulus has joined #nixcon
<samueldr> this is a lossless format
<samueldr> if you have fun converting it to others having an alpha layer, and it works better, it can be done
<samueldr> (obviously?)
<lassulus> are there any lightning talk slots left? I wanted to show https://cgit.krebsco.de/nix-writers/about/
<goibhniu> wonderful, I'll play around with it and see what works
<zimbatm> lassulus: yes we have room for you
<zimbatm> lassulus: added you to the board: https://trello.com/b/3vsw7s1z/nixcon-program
<fadenb> As we were just discussing it in some signal group: Should we remind people to bring UK power adapters?
<adisbladis> fadenb: We have a number of universal-fit power strips (10pcs with 4 outlets + 2 usb). Bringing more sure can't hurt.
<fadenb> nice!
<andi-> Out of curiosity: Will there be wifi? ;-)
<clever> fadenb: ive already got a UK caltrop :P
