Hi and sorry for spamming everybody about this! I couldn't find better place to ask it from.

We came in Helsinki #Celebr8D8 planning with an idea that we could shoot videostream of our event. It would be more interesting if there would be many other streams out there too all grouped together with same hashtag or something?

That would also maybe allow someone to do a main #Celebr8D8 videostream looping other streams with proper software/equipment.

How does that idea sound to you? Which events would be possible to participate on videostreaming?

Table of planned videostreams on 19th of November 2015:

Hey Mikael, We in Florida

Hey Mikael,

We in Florida were thinking something similar!

We were planning on using http://appear.in (or Periscope or something similar) to network together a number of parties. The limiting factors are time zones, and the fact that appear.in can only support up to 8 concurrent streams.

It'd be easy to set up - just requiring a computer with internet, plus a projector to project the video stream on a wall.

It'd be cool because it would really highlight the global Drupal community :)

Hi! That sound good. Lets

Hi!
That sound good. Lets stay then in contact! We could create a room there and then leave it to you after we're finishing (our parties might even be overlapping which is good), we already have at least two events sharing some live stream in Europe!

We where thinking the same

We where thinking the same :)

As we have two parties organized by Amazee Labs (Zurich and CapeTown), we're definitely also planning to do something like that.

But how about a GoogleHangout? This would allow us 15 Streams :)

We're going to host up to

We're going to host up to maximum of 150 persons and checking the venue this friday, so I'll be able to see if we can arrange good cam spot for this!

GoogleHangout might work too. I also heard that maybe UK and Munich might also join, so we might get even 5 streams in total already in Europe! That's nice!

For comms, I suggest to hook up in IRC channel #drupal-celebr8d8 when setting this up.

I've set up initial

I've set up initial spreadsheet to see our timezones and locations we want to stream. Please feel free to fill it up. Hopefully this helps us to organize a bit with this?

EDIT: I suck at Google Drive and I have no idea why I can't make this editable by anyone, but instead of using my time on figuring that out, I'll just shout out our schedule here:

Helsinki, Finland - CET, 17:00 - 21:00 (IRC contact: iMiksu)

Mike and Michael, could you

Mike and Michael, could you let me know your details for the table I've updated in my first comment? Will you have parties at your offices or an venue?

Heya, there will be D8 party in estonia. our idea was to just hop into a appear.in room with 7 others and have fun, while occasionally chatting over the net.

Tallinn, Estonia - CET, 15:30 - 22:30

Hey everyone, any further

Hey everyone, any further action on the live streams? We're working on one for Toronto.

Ha. Just seeing all of the

Ha. Just seeing all of the action on this.

Let's figure this out.

Technology

  • Google hangouts - max 10 people. Only one person maximized while others minimized. Can livestream to many though!
  • Appear.in - max 8 people - it makes them all equal size, which is great!
  • Periscope - we can all set up Periscope feeds and this would feed into twitter with the #celebr8d8 hashtag. Thoughts on this?

I think we should all jump into an IRC channel to discuss. We can come up with a plan and then all of the other parties will follow suit. Thoughts?

I set up a Doodle poll here to for when we all want to hop on to discuss. http://doodle.com/poll/uprf6txwkmpywzku#table if anyone is interested, sign up!

Google Hangout seems to work.
