* Things to check or decide
- Can we stream from multiple rooms without getting thoroughly confused?
- Assign rooms shortly before presentation
  - *Shortly before presentation:* accommodates reshuffling

- Generating static images
  - Before the presentation: Talk title, speaker
  - Speaker checked in
  - After the presentation: pointer to main conference stream
  - After the conference: conference has ended, we'll take some time to prepare the recording
* Workflows
  
** If we have four rooms
  
 O1 - main organizer, O2 - secondary organizer or volunteer

*** Overview
 - Check in via IRC, 4 rooms
*** Before the conference
 - Do tech checks and get alternative ways to contact speakers (phone number? IRC nick? Something that goes ding?)
 - Turn on audio alert
 - Install Mute Tab extension if desired
*** Tech check
 - Explain process
 - Test audio, webcam, screensharing, collaborative pad
*** Shortly before the presentation
 - Speaker checks in via IRC
 - O2 directs speaker to available room
 - Speaker joins talk room
 - O2 makes speaker presenter and moderator, does tech check
 - Speaker tries screen sharing and webcam
 - O2 notifies O1 with link to the talk room
 - O1 joins meeting and gives go-ahead
 - O2 starts recording in BBB
*** During the presentation
 - Speaker presents, keeping an eye on the collaborative pad for questions
 - O1 stays with speaker to help with questions and timing
 - If there is another speaker, O2 moves to next room for setup
*** After the presentation
 - O1 announces next steps
 - O1 goes to next talk when ready
 - Speaker continues with extended presentation if they want - will be recorded
*** Scenarios
**** Prerecorded presentations
- Amin will play it on his computer and stream from there
**** Tech issues
 - If can't be easily resolved, play pre-recorded talk early and try again later (or follow up)
 - Stream a technical issues slide to the end point
