I had a good time at #OggCamp at the weekend. There were a few familiar faces, but there was a poll during the intro session where the presenter asked for how many people it was their first time, and between 25%-33% raised their hand, which made for a nice mix.
Polarian (from the XSF) wanted to give talk about Jabber / #XMPP, and I said I would help 😨 .
We originally wanted to have an XMPP stand at EMFCamp, but neither of us got tickets 😭
We managed to get some slides together which we when presented on the Sunday at OggCamp instead.
I tried to record it here: https://pt.gogreenit.net/w/7YzvYkDJVM1e5FcmnCpqkj and the slides (as you can't really see them on the video 😡) are here: https://codeberg.org/chewie/OggCamp-2026-XMPP-Talk, but the funky little USB-C wireless mics worked nicely with my phone!
Note to self for next time - reduce the contrast between the foreground and background of the slides if you want to record it with your phone...
@chewie I might consider offering optional slide capture/streaming in the breakout rooms for those who (and to more platforms) at the next OggCamp if there is sufficient interest. Watch this space!
@garythewilliams cool!
I wanted to try as I have a bored peeertube server and the mic system I bought for oggcamp last time, but never used as the organisers didn't seem to be interested in me recording anything, even though they weren't doing it themselves either....
@chewie @garythewilliams it'd also make a useful PoC for streaming main stage to not-youtube
@falken @garythewilliams exactly. That was my plan last year, but I failed....
@garythewilliams @chewie oh, for sure. On the day you do not want to be trying to do anything like this, all needs to be setup in advance :-)
