Another day, another videoteam report! It feels like we did a lot of work today,
so let's jump right in:

Stefano worked most of the day on the DebConf video archive metadata project. A
bunch of videos already have been uploaded to YouTube.
Here's some gold you might want
to watch.
By the end of our sprint, we should have generated metadata for most of our
archive and uploaded a bunch of videos to YouTube. Don't worry though, YouTube
is only a mirror and we'll keep our current archive as a video master.

Andy joined us today! He hacked away with Stefano for most of the day, working
on the metadata format for our videos and making schemes for our scraping tools.

Ivo built and tested a good part of our video setup today, fixing bugs left and
right in Ansible. We are prepared for the Cambridge Mini-DebConf!

Nicolas finished his scripts to automatically spool up and down our streaming
mirrors via the DigitalOcean API today and ran our Ansible config against those
machines to test our setup.

For my part, I completed a huge chunk of my sprint goals: we now have a website
documenting our setup! It is currently hosted on Alioth pages, but
olasd plans to make a request to DSA to have it hosted on the static.debian.org
machine. The final URL will most likely be something like:
https://video.debconf.org
The documentation is still missing the streaming section (our streaming setup is
not final yet, so not point in documenting that) and a section hosting guides
for the volunteers. With some luck I might write those later this week.
I've now moved on documentation our various Ansible roles.
Oh, and we also ate some cheese fondue:
