This would be awesome. I'm planning on putting some guidelines together
for the Community Blog for editors, so it should be easy to streamline
blog posts covering individual sessions / talks onto the CommBlog. It
would definitely be awesome if the Design Team could collaborate on
creating a base set of featured images to use. As a reference, the
Community Blog featured images are here:
https://pagure.io/communityblog-images
As far as the Fedora Magazine goes, it might be helpful for some of the
editors to find time to get together once a day and do an hour power
session to do a daily overview or something along these lines. We had
wanted to do that with the keynotes last year, but it didn't end up
panning out.
So from my perspective, big +1 to the above!

As an extra incentive, we can also tie these guidelines into what
determines if this badge is awarded or not:

To have YouTube access, you have to have access to the Google+ account.
However, it is possible that we could add individuals who are video
nannying ahead of time as YouTube managers for the duration of Flock.
This would let them use their personal Google accounts to upload the
videos.
Also, I'd like to try to put together some guidelines or a SOP for the
video uploads (like a common set of base tags, adding the right metadata
(e.g. location / date), etc. This is something I'll try to work on
closer to Flock, but I think it would be valuable to make sure we get
everything right in the first go.
We need to make sure the videos wind up manageable by our Youtube folks
after the event. Would it make more sense (and be easier to those who
don't know how to do the upload) to have them put the videos in a known
location for one person to do the uploads? Otherwise I feel like we are
going to spend a lot of effort to train a lot of people to do a process
a small numer of times.

I don't think we need to. I think we should work with talks always
being recorded. We can leave recording instructions next to the laptop
if someone feels their hacksession warrants recording.
I wish we could get away from laptop recordings ... the quality is
terrible. Last year's audio was mostly unusuable.

I'd like to make it clear that we don't expect people to be hanging out
on the room channels. My understanding is that we want to use them for
meetbox to pull in transcriptions.

For context, it is really easy to bridge a Telegram group to an IRC
channel. This is what the @fedora supergrouup is using for
#fedora-telegram and @fedoradiversity group is for #fedora-diversity.
We're using this as the bridge software right now:
https://github.com/RITlug/teleirc
It's a simple NodeJS bot that isn't too difficult to set up. I'd be more
than willing to help with this once IRC channels are established, if
needed.

What are you thinking will be in the announcement email? We should try
to get those drafted in advance if possible.
