If you have time or inclination, I'd love if you can say how commonly do people do that. I think that'll be instructive for other groups trying to plan something similar. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The consensus we reached was to index events versus one-off videos. If you or anyone have a corner case that you think might fit, I'd recommend opening an issue in pyvideo/pyvideo. Now on to the next questions. For hosting, right now I'd say to host on YouTube and also upload the file(s) to a bucket on the Internet Archive. I have $reasons I can tl;dr if anyone is curious. For screen capture and audio, I'm going to cc Carl because he knows more about the hardware method than I do. I'm also cc-ing Greg because he has thought about this a great deal. Can we fip this list to public so that I can link to posts to people who aren't subscribed? I could link this one to the Software Carpentry list and ask if they have more recommendations. For software, I don't have experience with that, but on the Software Carpentry mailing list there was a post about this recently, < http://lists.software-carpentry.org/pipermail/discuss_lists.software-carpentry.org/2015-June/003148.html> and as of that post, Camstasia is recommended. I have no experience with it. For stuff without sound, I am obsessed with finding tools for excellently recording terminals, I don't have a favorite and I haven't experimented a whole lot. I recently discovered mkcast, < http://lists.software-carpentry.org/pipermail/discuss_lists.software-carpentry.org/2015-July/003200.html> which is neat because it overlays characters you type. That's nice for teaching because it shows invisible characters. on a tangent, for live casting, I've used ttycast before, which was kickass because it gave a webpage where people could follow along and copy-paste text. but better would be something that allows live casting which displays an overlay of the keys that are being pressed. For format choice From my point of view, 1. Anything that you can upload to youtube so that I can embed it in pyvideo. 2. Anything that is a FLOSS friendly format that you can upload to archive.org or wikimedia commons so that I can provide a link to a downloadable file that anyone can use. A nice feature of archive.org is that you can upload something and it will transcode the heck out of things and you'll end up with all kinds of formats. You might want to do the transcoding yourself in order to get the best results, ask Carl about that because he has a lot of experience transcoding things and picking formats and picking the best settings.

We haven't had any reported incidents, but we want to dedicate our second year of PuPPy to making sure we're a welcoming group for everybody. We made oblique reference to PyCon's code of conduct. But we've finally published it to our Meetup page. Next meeting I'll share with our collected group what it means. Dusty Phillips made a good point, nobody should be in a situation that feels uncomfortable independent of gender and race. Good stuff. ?

It would also be nice to have a place to discuss matters that should remain private, but that seems like a secondary need. Personally, I usually feel more comfortable discussing sensitive matters in private chats rather than email lists. > >> >>> On Thu, Jul 30, 2015 at 10:40 AM, Brian Ray >>> wrote: >>> >>>> -1 >>>> >>>> I am not sure I agree with the change in the setting for group >>>> organizers >>>> as we may want to discuss things we (as group organizers) want to >>>> discuss >>>> with other group organizers before proposing to a public forum. >>>> However, I >>>> would love to hear what others think. >>>> >>>> On Thu, Jul 30, 2015 at 11:32 AM, sheila miguez >>>> wrote: >>>> >>>>> I've wanted to provide links to posts for people multiple times >>>>> now, and >>>>> can't. > > -- Trey Hunner http://treyhunner.com -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I think this is an excellent dream, but it will take a long time to achieve. On the path towards the goal, people become uncomfortable because they learn that they have commited -isms in the past. I get distressed when I remember sexist, racist, and ablists things I've done in the past, and end of working through those feelings and educating myself. For example, as someone who has to work extra hard to develop social skills, I've had to learn no to violates all the rules in the Recurse Center's manual, , and it's a continual challenge. I do the "well actually" and "backseat driving" a lot. -- shekay at pobox.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Of course Naomi Ceder has been at the forefront of transgender awareness amongst engineering circles globally. We do have a trans member in Seattle also. We certainly want to encourage more minorities to participate. Weirdly for example we're way behind in Asian American male participation at our events. I contacted Ada Initiative about information on their Ally Workshop. I missed it at PyCon because I flew out on the Sunday it was held. Disappointingly the response was if I have to ask for the price I can't afford it. ?
