Beran Gillen -ALAC: (16:03) @glenn it's 36 degrees Celsius in Gambia
Beran Gillen -ALAC: (16:03) boiling !!!
Glenn McKnight: (16:04) Here is a picture of last week at our Greenhouse
judith hellerstein: (16:04) It is 40 degrees fahrenheit in DC
Nathalie Peregrine: (16:04) Please all mute your mics in the AC room
Beran Gillen -ALAC: (16:05) I will gladly swap @judith heat is unbearable
Glenn McKnight: (16:05) https://www.flickr.com/photos/glennmcknight/sets/72157651508023742/
Glenn McKnight: (16:05) You will notice the snow we are putting on the plants
Beran Gillen -ALAC: (16:07) am not hearing anyone
judith hellerstein: (16:07) in nYC it is 31 degrees fahrenheit
Beran Gillen -ALAC: (16:07) ok am hearing Josh now
Glenn McKnight: (16:08) Are you using Wirecast>
Joly MacFie: (16:10) What about Zoom?
Joly MacFie: (16:10) Is there a diagram?
Glenn McKnight: (16:12) Please provide the link to the Operator manual from the WIki
Joly MacFie: (16:12) how do you feed the local video back out to the hubs?
Glenn McKnight: (16:14) Can anyone upload any pics of their Hubs in operation ie. Murray, Joly or Murray
Joly MacFie: (16:16) http://www.meetup.com/isoc-ny/photos/25199542/
Nathalie Peregrine: (16:17) Murray McKercher has joined the call
Murraymckercher: (16:17) hi, sorry to be late
Glenn McKnight: (16:18) Singapore 6 hubs , Toronto, NY, Bermuda and where else?
Heidi Ullrich: (16:18) Showing all hubs will be great!
Glenn McKnight: (16:18) All English
judith hellerstein: (16:18) Could you send us the list of the actual hubs for each of the 3 meetings
Glenn McKnight: (16:18) I think we have 50% of those operators on the call
Glenn McKnight: (16:19) Murray, Joly and Jason
Glenn McKnight: (16:19) I thought TT also had a hub
Glenn McKnight: (16:20) Cost $30K
Glenn McKnight: (16:20) Equipment cost plus $1000 per Hub sponsored by ICANN
Jason Hynds: (16:21) Barbados was not able to do a hub for Singapore ICANN52. Time difference issue. We did pubic day of ICANN51 LA. Also Geneva Internet Platform Nov 2014.
Glenn McKnight: (16:21) I think this is a critical idea especially for remote areas and People with Disabilities
Glenn McKnight: (16:21) Yes Jason the time zone difference was a big challenge
Glenn McKnight: (16:23) Perhaps the TTF can get more involved with the ALAC community to document the process and help educate the potential hubs
judith hellerstein: (16:23) Are you talking about the working group or the main meeting
Dev Anand Teelucksingh: (16:24) Perhaps it should (hear English interpretation) but the ALAC sessions I attended remotely, I only heard the "raw" audio
Murraymckercher: (16:24) @Josh, the netmundial workaround sounds good
Joly MacFie: (16:24) How did you resolve echo problems with remote audio?
Glenn McKnight: (16:25) All these questoins need to be documented in a FAQ with answers
Jason Hynds: (16:26) I love the remote hub idea. At near or less than the cost of sending 1 person to an ICANN meeting we can likely have in excess of 5 persons in a room participating and hopefully collaborating and localizing the topics. Good to have to plan to assist the remote hubs in their costs: equipment, room rentals etc. The event is not zero cost at the remote end. Also the lead up promotions at the remote end may need further support.
judith hellerstein: (16:26) How does this work with the interpretation
Murraymckercher: (16:26) @Josh, Understand, that this cost is an issue....
judith hellerstein: (16:28) I thought that Adobe Connect was moving towards html5 instead of flash. Do you know when this will happen
Glenn McKnight: (16:28) John did you say "T Phone" and Adobe Connect
Murraymckercher: (16:29) @Josh, do we have a set of requirements defined for this remote ..also agree with flash issues being irritating
judith hellerstein: (16:30) @dev should we review global meet?
Joly MacFie: (16:30) How did you resolve echo problems with remote audio?
Dev Anand Teelucksingh: (16:31) @judith re:global meet indeed
judith hellerstein: (16:32) @joly had his hand raised
Dev Anand Teelucksingh: (16:32) he does? Don't see it - sorry - so Joly you're next
judith hellerstein: (16:32) see his question in chat. He has been trying to get this question answered for a while
Joly MacFie: (16:32) No I didn't but I will speak
Dev Anand Teelucksingh: (16:32) ok after Olivier
Dev Anand Teelucksingh: (16:34) Holy moly (looking at the pic)
Murraymckercher: (16:34) Great photo..looks like the backend of my desk :)
judith hellerstein: (16:34) Yes. pretty impressive
Olivier Crepin-Leblond: (16:34) With remote meetings & a PA in the room it is really important to make sure that the "local" mixed has autormatic echo cancellation
Glenn McKnight: (16:36) Questoin from Murray
Dev Anand Teelucksingh: (16:36) yep, see the hand
Nathalie Peregrine: (16:36) Gordon Chillcott has joined the call
Dev Anand Teelucksingh: (16:37) url for global meet : https://www.globalmeet.com/
Glenn McKnight: (16:38) Spagetti junction!
Joly MacFie: (16:39) is taht abunch of individual converters taped together?
Joly MacFie: (16:40) I like that
Glenn McKnight: (16:41) do's and don't
Joly MacFie: (16:43) personally I found two laptops and two projectors a necessity, along with an audio mixer with aux send
Dev Anand Teelucksingh: (16:43) Jason, able to speak - it would be good to share your experiences?
Glenn McKnight: (16:43) Dev can we ask the Remote Hub people questions?
Jason Hynds: (16:44) Agreed re do's don't equipment recommendations. But we have to also have some tiers in the remote hubs ranging from a simple low cost equipment-wise remote hub
judith hellerstein: (16:44) Can you also put this in the action items: the list of the actual hubs for each of the 3 meetings
Glenn McKnight: (16:44) Murray did the Toronto Hub
Glenn McKnight: (16:44) Jason did the Barbados hub
Glenn McKnight: (16:44) Hi Gordon
Glenn McKnight: (16:45) Nice idea Jason had the local university. How about the local IEEE Chapter?
Murraymckercher: (16:46) @Jason..I agree with the challenge to engage the local communities
Glenn McKnight: (16:46) Joly did the NY Hub
Jason Hynds: (16:47) Joly. Agree that 2 computers and 2 screens at least is good
Murraymckercher: (16:48) I also agree with joly on computers and screens
Josh Baulch: (16:48) great point
Jason Hynds: (16:48) @Glenn: Not aware of a local IEEE. Trying to get a local Internet Society formed to take over the remote hub.
Josh Baulch: (16:49) great points, much apprecaited
Glenn McKnight: (16:50) I think a Hub for specific groups First Nations, Persons with Disabilities, Engineering Society etc which has their own communities might be one way to look at raising an interested community
Glenn McKnight: (16:50) @ Jason yes ISOC Chapters are ideal
Murraymckercher: (16:51) @Joly..I like zoom , but getting together with agroup is best
Glenn McKnight: (16:51) NTEN Non Profit Technology Network would be interested
Dev Anand Teelucksingh: (16:53) AI : add review of GlobalMeet as a confererncing solution
Dev Anand Teelucksingh: (16:53) https://www.globalmeet.com/
Jason Hynds: (16:53) Would have been great if the Adobe Connect could separate the chat window (tough to view in remote hub setting). For the remote hub important to follow, have screens for 1) Video in room especially presentation w/ has transcript 2) Twitter feeds 3) Skype interaction for hubs. Thus maybe 3 screens.
Dev Anand Teelucksingh: (16:54) Perhaps Group chat solutions like Slack could work
Josh Baulch: (16:54) @ jason, good idea. . .
Gordon Chillcott: (16:54) +1, Murray
Joly MacFie: (16:54) I agree Jason. AC is inflexible as to layout.
Joly MacFie: (16:55) I am liking slack.
Glenn McKnight: (16:55) Integration with mobile is important
Murraymckercher: (16:55) Slack is good once you get your head into it.
Glenn McKnight: (16:56) Each hub is like an island
Glenn McKnight: (16:56) @Jason just like Bermuda!
Olivier Crepin-Leblond: (16:57) All fine
Glenn McKnight: (16:57) Good
Murraymckercher: (16:57) I woukld add Zoom and GoToMeeting to the tech list
Glenn McKnight: (16:58) We are using ZOOM with ISOC
Murraymckercher: (16:58) @ Dev thanks...good session
Olivier Crepin-Leblond: (16:58) a very interesting call indeed - and this will really help for all instances of remote participation
judith hellerstein: (16:58) Yes. great session
Olivier Crepin-Leblond: (16:58) +1 Dev
Glenn McKnight: (16:58) Thanks Joly, Murray, Jason and Josh. Three J's and one M
Josh Baulch: (16:59) Thank you all!
judith hellerstein: (16:59) +1 dev. Like it for the working group calls
Jason Hynds: (16:59) Thanks. This was good. The bandwidth recommendation per each tier of hub would be good to specify. Also as someone made the point, must build up local interest and awareness prior to hub day.
Nathalie Peregrine: (16:59) thank you all!
Glenn McKnight: (16:59) bye
Gordon Chillcott: (16:59) Thanks, Dev. Sorry for being in late.
Jason Hynds: (16:59) bye
