How to host a virtual writing workshop using only open source software (version 1.1, Dec 2023)

1. Content planning: most important
Quick Docs issue, content samples, rehearsal x 10

2. Organizing and administration

  • Calendar: Fedocal
  • Announcements and marketing: CommBlog, mastodon
  • Planning and speaker’s note: Etherpad
  • Conference tool: Jitsi Moderated Meetings
  • Feedback loop: LimeSurvey

3. Recording and editing

  • Software: OBS Studio, Kdenlive and built-in plug-ins, Chromium browser, Pulseaudio pavucontrol
  • Hardware: Audio interface, XLR microphone, balanced XLR cable (low noise)
  • Video hosting provider: PeerTube

Think about smooth transition of sequence and stories.

4. Finesse required

  • Elocution and diction
  • Verbalize all actions while sharing screen
  • Use workspaces. not alt + tab or resizing windows
  • Use full-sized window

Docs team will update curriculum based on survey result. We will trial survey after the December workshop.

p.s.) as writing workshop evolves and continues with feedback, we can close this thread. Could anyone with right privileges close this?

Feedback and updates will be tracked in GitLab Epics.
