<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi Russell and Paul,</div><div><br></div><div>As you probably have seen in the Everything Open matrix channel, I have said that I am working through the videos and aim to have them all published before the next event starts. This means I have a few days to get through them all, which I'm continuing to do while I'm on holidays.<br></div><div><br></div><div>I'm not sure it has been radio silence Paul. When people have asked me I have responded clearly saying that I am working on them, and I have given a date I aim to get them done by. I understand people want them immediately, however this was not practical given how AV was run in Gladstone and therefore it has taken longer to process them all. <br></div><div><br></div><div>What is Linux Australia doing for the next event? Well I am taking the lead on the AV and have been spending time getting the video processing pipeline into a state that we can once again do the video capture and processing in a fast turnaround. The time I spend on this means I spend less time doing the manual processing of the past event, hence the delay. I also have other Linux Australia work and my day job to complete, so as it turns out I haven't had as much time as I expected to complete everything.<br></div><div><br></div><div>If you would like more background, here it is. Linux Australia decided to bring video processing back to a volunteer run process for Everything Open in 2024, primarily due to budget reasons. Video services were taking up a large portion of our expenses, second only to the venue itself for the past several years. If we want to continue operating the conference, we need to bring the budget into shape to reflect the realities of what we are operating within. The way this played out for Gladstone was not as good as it could have been due to some confusion between some people, but we got through this and streamed the event and captured a majority of the presentations (unfortunately there are some talks that can't be released due to issues with capture, which we can't do anything about). The video processing pipeline we have used for many years is in need of an upgrade to just get a deploy working, which has been my immediate focus for 2025. I have heard talk of there being upgrades done on this pipeline, however they are not in the GitHub repository, so I am starting from scratch. Come the conference in Adelaide I will be using this pipeline to process the videos, which will again let us have a fast turnaround, from a volunteer effort.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>Joel</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote gmail_quote_container"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Jan 9, 2025 at 3:56 PM Paul Wayper via linux-aus <<a href="mailto:linux-aus@lists.linux.org.au">linux-aus@lists.linux.org.au</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><u></u>

<p>I'd like to ask the same question. I've tried a couple of
quieter and less public ways of asking and have been told to ask
publicly.</p>
<p>I think all attendees, the speakers that have not yet been
published, and the Open Source community in Australia needs now to
be given regular - monthly, for example - updates on what is being
done to get all the outstanding talks published. Not the radio
silence we've been getting; not the 'it'll be ready when its
ready, we're doing our best' response. I think we can all be more
understanding when we can be told what's happened and what is
happening.</p>
<p>I would also like to ask what the Linux Australia Committee is
doing to prevent this being a problem at Everything Open 2025.</p>
<p>Regards,</p>
<p>Paul<br>
