+Considerations:
+
+- Probably run it on media.emacsconf.org
+- Bonus features:
+ - password-protected or hidden behind some kind of authentication or hidden behind some kind of URL, so we don't have to worry too much about spam
+ - extra points for sending speakers links to upload to specific folders so that we can separate resources by talk
+ - Resumable uploads would be good, since some speakers had a hard time with unreliable connections
+- What other conferences do:
+ - LibrePlanet uses plain FTP and recommends FileZilla <https://libreplanet.org/wiki/Video_upload_instructions>
+ - FOSSDEM uses Pentabarf to receive uploads <https://archive.fosdem.org/2022/manuals/program/speaker/>
+ - DebConf uses SReview(?)

+- With a long day, we may want to be able to schedule hosts/streamers/publishers in shifts
+- Ideal: Easy reproducible setup to spin up an OBS VM with scenes set up, allowing multiple users to connect to it at the same time. Maybe x2go or vnc? VMs with 8 vCPUs and a vGPU cost more, so it would be good to figure out what's needed, spin it down, and then spin it up maybe the day before or something like that.
+- Plus points if we can control the OBS via password-protected websocket so we can tell it to switch scenes (and even more points if we do so from Emacs, maybe via that obs-websocket.el ;) ). MPV is also controllable via IPC, so we can use the same MPV player and then switch videos around. Maybe mpvc? <https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/664728/how-can-i-control-mpv-in-command-line>
