FOSDEM talk recordings reminder
by Martin Decky 19 Jan '22

19 Jan '22

Dear speakers, this is a kind reminder that the hard deadline for submitting your talk recordings to the Microkernel and Component-based OS Devroom at FOSDEM 2022 is approaching quickly. The hard deadline is this Friday January 21st 2022. Please note that it might be seriously complicated, maybe even impossible, to submit your recording after the deadline (and there is little we can do about this on the devroom level, this is set by the FOSDEM organizers). Please also note that there will be no possibility to just present your talk live. If you are really in some kind of trouble, try to upload at least a rough draft recording to Pentabarf before the deadline. That might hopefully allow you to reupload a better second version later. But please understand that the video processing queue might not finish processing your reupload in time (this is precisely the reason why the deadline is set so early). There is really no guarantee that this "hack" will work and we only suggest this as a last resort solution. For those who have already submitted their video: Thank you! We are reviewing and approving the videos regularly. Best regards Martin Decky

FOSDEM 2022 talk recordings
by Martin Decky 04 Jan '22

04 Jan '22

Dear speakers, the Microkernel and Component-based OS devroom schedule, as announced by Sebastian on Sunday [1], is now public [2]. We kindly ask you to check all the details that concern you and let us know about any discrepancies or issues. Also, if there is any major change on your side (e.g. a need to cancel your talk), please approach us as soon as possible to give us sufficient time to respond to the change. Thanks in advance! The next step for the speakers is to prepare and submit the talk recordings. Here are the guidelines: (1) The deadline for submitting the talk recordings is **Saturday January 15th**. This is a soft deadline, but we strongly encourage you to at least make your first recording and submission attempt by that date, in order to iron out any technical issues, etc. (2) The hard deadline for the recordings (according to the FOSDEM organizers) is Friday January 21st [3]. After that date, any recording submissions (even just reuploads for corrections) will be strictly limited to a few individual exceptional cases. The reason for such a strict deadline is the sheer scale of FOSDEM with more than 600 talks. Putting the deadline any closer to the conference date might overload the infrastructure and/or the organizers. (3) Make sure that the length of your talk recording is strictly shorter than the length of your talk slot according to the schedule [2] minus at least 5 (preferably 10) minutes for the live Q&A. FOSDEM runs an automated broadcast schedule and recordings longer than the talk slot will be rejected by the submission system. (4) Please adhere to the following technical parameters for the recordings: * Resolution: 1280x720 * Frame rate: 25 fps * Video codec: H.264 video codec, main profile * Video bitrate: <= 2 Mbit/s * Audio codec: AAC audio codec * Audio sample rate: 48 kHz mono * Audio bitrate: 128 kbit/s * Media container: MP4 * Maximum file size: 1 GiB If you deviate from these parameters, the submission system will attempt to transcode your recording, but your mileage might vary and the process might take significantly longer. (5) Content hints: Please do not overload your slides. Use large fonts, clear diagrams without too much fine detail and avoid clutter. Make sure everything is readable even when scaled down. (6) Upload: Please upload your recording through Pentabarf [4]. In the properties of your talk, you should see the "Pre-recorded Video Upload URL" link that redirects you to the upload page. There is also a video tutorial [5] from last year. (7) It is up to you what means you use to prepare your recording. Most videoconferencing tools (e.g. Zoom, Jitsi) allow to do a solo call with screen sharing and provide a built-in recording facility. We have collected a few specific tutorials on the devroom CfP page [6]. In case of any questions or troubles, please do not hesitate to approach Sebastian and me. Thanks!
