STEAM Camp - March 2020

in #diy4 years ago


Nope, not Steem, but it is all about Open Source and Makers!

I found out about the first round of STEAM Camps the day they started in January, because I rarely use Facebook and that is one of their main channels. Since missing the opportunity to go to that one, I have been watching for this next round and I am seriously contemplating going.

I would be happy to go as a regular participant, but I have also offered to do documentation for them, which they have publicly asked for help with. That is something I think I could be helpful with. I have some experience and all the coolest toys too.

I'm trying to go through all of the videos pertaining to the January Steam Camps to get up to speed on what is going on.

Expenses:

It's not cheap on time or money.

It will be four days on-site for the event and another day of driving each way and a night in the hotel on each side as well because its an eight hour trip. The event hours are from 1pm to 10pm, so I will certainly need to stay the final night before driving home the next day. I am in no way a night person.

It's possible I could drive up on the first day, since it starts at 1pm, but that would be really pushing it for me. I would have to leave by 4am to get there by noon, which only gives me an hour to spare and I would be going until past 10pm. I'm a whimp. I don't know how good of an idea that is.

  • Registration: $1099.00
  • Hotel: $350
  • Travel/ Fuel: 8 hours at about 500 miles x2 for return trip. ~$200.00
  • Food: $200.00

Total: $2000.00

Stay tuned if you are interested in more about this project. I expect to have a lot of content coming up in the next month or so.

This does look very interesting - not come across Open Source Ecology before.

It would be great if these Steam Camps were livestreamed. Maybe @3Speak would be interested now they have just starting livestreaming...

I believe they have done some livestreaming for the previous STEAM Camp. I'll look into that and post what I find.

I didn't know @3Speak had livestreaming. That is awesome. I need to look into that too.

Thanks @Pennsif!

@threespeak started the streaming a couple of weeks ago I think. @starkerz or @theycallmedan would be the people to talk to about this.

How can we help gents?

Thanks for picking this up Matt. It looks like an interesting project.

@starkerz Can you point me to info on how to accomplish streaming on your platform?

Thanks! I'll forward this and look into it myself. I would like to find out what equipment is needed.

Let me know how it goes. I think it was @detlev who did a live stream of his meetup a couple of weeks back. Might be worth making contact with him.

Live-streaming itself is easy. You mainly need to send Audio and Video to a platform.

We use an open source software OBS to connect our cams and microphones locally and be able to switch between cams.

To have the right light and the perfect sound, you need to test all this a lot.

As well a good cam with an optical zoom, is something we prefer to use.

Overall, a lot to learn but mainly simple things.

Thanks for this @detlev.

Hope this is helpful @diggndeeper.com
