Definitely live stream for those who don’t want to interact or have low bandwidth. The rest would probably want to join to ask a question or make a comment and then leave (perhaps to yield the spot to another if we ever reach the limit).
As for recording, better to establish that it will be done and shared. When there are multiple participants, it can be tricky. Once, I was a part of an awesome concert. We had a standing ovation. Most of the musicians including myself were expecting a copy of the recording. However, it only took one of the pianists to say no and that was the end of it. Nothing could be shared or sold.
A non-participatory livestream would be great but not a must-have per se. I, as a non-participant, can find myself in a “If you don’t participate, you have to wait” kinda thing.
I, like afre, think that full openness about it being recorded is a must.
paradigits does make a good point about the quality aspect!
I think I would prefer recordings over livestreaming, or one of the two but not both. But I also know that it is not only up to me. And I also favor the easiest solution that requires as little work as possible for the organizers/participants.
Bri (@ChicagoCameraslinger) used to do live editing sessions which I think were well received. I’ll get a social post up soon about it to alert others.
Hi, so I was wondering whether we should use our old jitsi pixls.us lounge room or create a new link/room. We don’t know how many people would really want to participate. It would be a little awkward if the old jitsi room was already full 1 hour before the meeting. But I guess we can create a new room anytime.
I was thinking that we could create a new room for every meeting and use the link just for that meeting. Besides, if there are some people during the meeting who want to talk about something else they could use the old room.
As far as livestreaming etc is concerned, I am more or less relying on everybody else, especially @patdavid. In theory I can do it but I have never done it.
You can do whatever you’d like for the jitsi room. I don’t think jitsi is like chat where everyone idles in a room, generally when the meeting is done, everyone leaves.
I can start up a room with any name that you want for the URL - just let me know tomorrow.
I can also setup the livestreaming portion of it. My daughter is having a birthday simultaneously so hopefully I can participate without too many distractions.
I joined for a while (watching the youtube stream). Thanks for organising this! It was nice seeing your faces and hearing the voices behind the user names and avatars.
Next time I might be able to join the meeting as well.
Stay safe & have fun!
