Creating a new eCHO episode

Resources

  • Internal-only eCHO-ing News spreadsheet is here
    • Episode planning: host, guests, topic
    • Headlines
  • eCHO Calendar (for anyone to subscribe to) is linked on the README

Preparation

Two or more weeks before broadcast

YouTube link and description

  • Set up the episode in StreamYard so that we have a YouTube URL, including the topic & guests
    • The same URL becomes the replay link for future viewers
  • On YouTube, add episode to eCHO playlist
  • On YouTube, set thumbnail image to the default (or get one designed specific to the episode!)
  • Add URL & topic description to event in eCHO calendar
  • Add URL & topic description to event listing in the README

Episode notes

  • Draft the episode notes under a GitHub branch
    • There's a tool that makes it easier to generate episode notes from the episode planning spreadsheet
  • Sync to HackMD

Invitations

  • Send invite to guest with Streamyard link (start 15 mins early)
  • Invite a chat moderator to YouTube

Week of broadcast - Monday / Tuesday

  • Share event on social media
  • Post & pin link to #general channel in eBPF & Cilium Slack
  • Agree episode outline with guest
  • Add links for the main topic: project repo, guest links, blogs, other resources...

Broadcast day - Friday

  • Add headlines (picking good ones from the eCHO-ing News sheet) in HackMD

Just before broadcast

  • Test sound & screen sharing with guest
  • Check HackMD notes are ready
  • Reminders in social media and Slack

After the episode

  • Update & merge the episode notes (use HackMD GitHub sync)
  • Add link to the README and make sure next two episodes are listed
  • Make sure episode is on the YouTube playlist
  • Update thumbnail image

Archive instructions

From when we used Streamlabs OBS:

Graphics and streaming setup

  • Prepare any graphics e.g. a "lower third" for any guests
    • Use the lower third template in Keynote
    • Replace the lower third graphic, with the following animations:
      • Build in: Dissolve duration 1s
      • Build on: Dissolve duration 1s, start 5s after previous build
    • Export as a movie with transparency so it can be used as an overlay. See the export settings screenshot below
  • Set up scenes in Streamlabs OBS
  • Test sound & screen sharing with guest
