Technical Volunteers for Video and Livestreaming for IndiaFOSS

I made some diagrams to clarify that the scope and partitioning of the work is clearer. The diagrams show vendor and our scope in different colors.

In IF2024, we livestreamed Audi 1 and Audi 2 (main track). In IF2025, we will do that. Plus, we will both record and livestream devrooms - 6 sessions which will happen in two different places: Audi 3 (4 devrooms, each 3 hrs), and a room in the first floor(2 devrooms, each 3 hrs). The setups differ slightly.

Main track in Audi 1 and Audi 2 will use 2 cameras - one for speaker, one for audience during QA. These also have audio mixing done by the vendor, they manage the stream going to the projector as well. From our POV, Audi 1 and Audi 2 are similar setups.

Devrooms will only have 1 camera, but there are differences in those setups. Devroom 1 (Audi 3) is larger, and thus needs dedicated audio. Vendor will do the audio mixing, and handle the loudspeaker as well. Video recording will be handled by a volunteer, who has to make sure that the camera follows the speaker.

Devroom 2 being a small room doesn’t need a loudspeaker, resulting in a much simplified audio workflow (may or may not be simpler for us though).

I will post more detailed notes on these soon, talking about what exactly the green boxes do, and what the selection criteria might be. The final setup we deploy may differ slightly compared to this, but will have almost all of these pieces.
