+ - view Etherpad (read-only): might be able to query something like https://pad.emacsconf.org/2024/export/html or https://pad.emacsconf.org/2024/export/txt
+ - view upcoming talks, countdown?
+ - resources, past talks
+ - ??: Collaborative real-time editing? Not sure crdt.el or collab-mode can scale up as far as we like; how would we test this?

+ - [[https://emacsconf.org/2024/talks/][This is what the talks page looks like after the conference]] - list of resources
+ - timezone translations in the schedule SVG, on the schedule page, etc.
+ - countdown on talk pages?
+ - prettier viewers for videos, captions
+ - make it easier to see the talk/pad/IRC at the same time?
+ - easy timestamp jumping
+- Volunteers:
+ - better documentation
+ - share to OBS from local? Maybe vdo.ninja?
+ - how do we manage the fallback/switchover in case we need to go back to shared VNC?
+ - meeting layout?
+ - countdown to switch over to the next talk, or easier manual control; web or command-line interface to control it?
+ - make it easier for people to join as hosts or check-in volunteers?
+ - improve backstage experience?
+ - automate or cross-train more people in what Sacha does (coordination, infrastructure) to reduce bus factor and increase awesomeness
+- Processing:
+ - audio normalization: better workflow, more people helping
+ - noise removal (many speakers don't have external mics)
+ - Makefile improvements
+ - captioning:
+ - simplify common edits
+ - reflowing? check out [[https://gitlab.com/jun8git/sub-seg][sub-seg]]?
+ - handle last-minute uploads
+ - validation: make sure audio, video, and caption times agree
+- Infrastructure:
+ - document media processing pipeline
+ - make media processing pipeline more hands-off; ideally, just copy the video to the directory and that kicks off everything including eventually republishing the backstage index
+ - add read-only non-JS links to pads; make the pads viewable through the web instead of being downloaded (.../export/html)
+ - upgrade to latest versions
+ - front0 and live0: currently Debian 10.13
+ - [2025-09-21 Sun] bandali will look into upgrades, cleaning up
+ - [2025-09-19 Fri] sachac: e-mailed bandali to ask if I can do the upgrades or if he wants to
+ - ffmpeg 6.0.1, latest is 8
+ - 7 has demuxing, decoding, filtering, encoding, and muxing in the ffmpeg CLI now all run in parallel
+ - OBS on res? Currently 29.1.2
+ - probably no must-haves up to version 32, okay to stay with current version
+ - Do we want to go back to having hosts stream from their local computers?
+ - local: better performance
+ - via VNC:
+ - easier to switch in a different host or manage multiple streams
+ - easier to move files around
+ - consistent setup for profiles, overlays
+ - DONE Etherpad (upgrade 1.9.7 to 2.5.0)
+ - DONE BigBlueButton (deployed 3.0.12, which is the latest as of 2025-08-02)
+ - Consider 3.1 beta? new interface, probably new bugs; see if it's worth it?
+ - DONE Icecast (deployed 2.4.4-1) - decided to stick with current version
+ - [2025-09-21 Sun] Decision: stick with Icecast
+ - Leaning towards sticking with [[https://icecast.org/][Icecast]]
+ - 2.5.0-rc1? health reporting, bugfixes; probably not essential
+ - [[https://antmedia.io/][Ant Media Server]] community edition, to enable adaptive bitrate streaming, lower latency, and HLS for wider support?
+ - [[https://owncast.online/][Owncast]]? Automatic downscaling, Fediverse support; might need two instances to support two tracks
+ - [[https://github.com/ossrs/srs][SRS]]? record, replay? more of a building block?
+ - Nginx RTMP? More of a building block
