His talk is about how to publish a broadcast using WordPress. Thanks a lot. Yeah, I'll be showing my whole workflow. So we have a bit of tech over here and I hope you enjoy it. But before we start, I got a slide about me. Hi there, I'm Simon. I'm from Germany, as you might hear. I've been a WordPress developer since 2008. So it goes to 11 years now. I work as a senior WordPress developer at Big German Firm, no more fancy WordPress agency, sadly. I've been organizing meetups and WordCamp since 2012. And if there's still free time out for that, I'm blogging and podcasting with and about WordPress. And unfortunately, I learned Latin in school, not French. So I'm pretty sorry about that. You might think, podcast? What? Who of you is an active podcast listener? Well, it's about half. Maybe a bit more than a foot. That's good. That's quite good. For the rest of you who might be asking, what's a podcast? I've got some points for that. Podcasts are series of audio or video files. You can subscribe them via RSS or Atom Feed, but Atom is not working anymore, so don't worry. And in a study conducted by German public television, they called it medium for time sovereign listening, or the more fancy German word, Zeit zu verrehen ist ein Adler. You're welcome. The great benefit for us as producers is we have total freedom of production. There's no time slot we have to fit in as we have at WordCamp for 30 minutes. I can talk for two minutes or 20 hours and put it out there, people can listen to it. I can do interviews, talk to other people. There's a lot of room for my own imagination. The final product will look something like this. Our listeners have apps on their phones, we call them podcatchers, where they can subscribe to feeds and get notified when the episode arrives. So this is the final outcome, but why should we do it? I mean, there's so much more to do, isn't it? There are different angles of viewing it. Some people are doing podcasts for marketing reasons, talking about their products, their own personality. Others do it for monetization, talking about other people's products and doing advertising. Some do it for fame, for a lot of things. And the best motivation is fun.  I have quite high standards in my production, but in the end I do it for my own amusement. What do you podcast? I podcast about WordPress, actually in German and English. And the most important thing is every topic you can imagine there's a niche for it. You can podcast about knitting or driving bicycles really fast. There will be an audience. I don't say you reach this audience, but somewhere they are hiding it. So let's start in our podcast production at a very basic level with the concept. We have to think about some points. I call them questions to us. It's important if I try to do a set up or try to plan a recording. The first thing to keep in mind is how many people there will be. Because the number of people I want to record is important for the number of microphones. For example, I have a paper. Will the recording be central or remote for a big show? Maybe some people are sitting in a room, others are connected by a skype or something else. And kind of a format, I like that. Is it interview just a couple of folks talking or will it be super high intensity production like an audio feature? The answers for all of these points I can really quickly go out to recording, which is nice because you actually get to do something. And it's nice because I can follow a kind of disease I have. It's called Pia Acquisition Syndrome. Most nerds suffer from it and go like, crazy, we can buy hardware. For those of you who want to follow this path, I fabricated a little shopping list with all the stuff we have to gather to record a podcast. First of all, of course, a microphone because we have to get our sounds into digitalized versions. A recorder or audio interface. Sometimes you need extra headphones and then you need also headphone amplifiers. A couple of cords because they are super, super fun. And a bag or case. In my case, it's this eary. It's super heavy, not a good idea. What's in the case? All the other equipment? All the other equipment that lives inside this case. When I started, I had quite a simple setup. It looked like this. It's a simple USB microphone. We have two guys, each has his own microphone and we're connected via Skype and recorded. You can plug your headphones in there to listen to the other person and your own voice. And it's the perfect way to start if you don't know if podcasting is for you, if you will enjoy it even two months down the road. But quite quickly I realized, okay, that's nice, I like podcasting, but I want more than that. And you wanted to buy more gear? Of course I wanted to buy more gear. So I started shopping and I started with this. It's a headphone, if I have it right here, with a mic integrated. It's quite nice because most American podcasters have a fixed mic and it's on the table. It has its benefits, no doubt. But in my case I thought about, okay, I'll be having interview partners. Don't do this regularly. I don't want them to focus on their distance to the mic and if you have this thing on your head, the mic is always in the same position no matter if you do stuff like this. So if I go somewhere and interview the person, I put these strange mics on their head and they look interesting. Second thing is an audio interface. I have to plug my mic and headphones somewhere quite recorded. I have it inside this case. There it is. In my case I... What's happening? In my case I chose the biggest available version. It's quite a thing and it's heavy and also not a good idea if you're travelling a lot and I'm travelling a lot. You can plug 16 microphones in there. Just in case. I have like three. But it's super nice. I can use FireWire and Thunderbolt Connector to plug it into my Mac if I'm not having the projector in there. And all things connected to this interface will be recorded on my Mac. The headphone amplifier is a convenience thing. It's a really small device and each and every headphone is connected to it. So people I talk to can regulate their own loudness on their headphones. Some people want it a bit louder, some less loud. So it's not for you to tune down the other bit? No, no, it's just a monitor signal. It's not for the recording. I don't want to hear that guy. Exactly. It's a quartz. Quite a lot of them. I have them here but I think you can leave me. And software. Of course. You can use any kind of audio recording software but some of them are specially made for journalistic purposes so speech recording instead of music. Ios Hindenburg, which is surprisingly reliant despite its name, the German community developed an open source thing called Ultraschall, which is sitting on top of a software called Reaper. It's more less expensive. And that's about it in case of recording. After I finish recording my session we come to post-production. And post-production is quite a lot of work, actually. Before I start post-production, my recording looks like this. I have every single interview partner in his own track so I can edit them individually and cut out words or something. And after I finish, these two single tracks have been cut like a thousand times, I spend three to four times the length of the interview for post-production. So for one hour interview I said another four hours before it's done. You don't have to do this. And maybe you shouldn't.  End of that whole life? No, if it's live you can't edit in this. Just like in radio, if there's some music, you could put some music in there. Yeah, you could put music in there but no, it's quite a simple setup and it's not made for live streaming. If you want to stream live you basically have to put out the raw version without editing. Yeah, maybe you could do some kind of a delay and then stream it with a minute of delay. No, just don't. If I'm done with editing I have a single file per track. So it's still a multi-channel thing. Every speaker has its own file and I upload them to a service called Arphonic. Arphonic is awesome. It's basically magic. It's an Austrian company I think. They use fancy kind of machine learning auto-leveling, blah. And what they basically do is look at the audio, level it on the same loudness. It's standardized European and clean the audio. Get rid of humming sounds, popping sounds, strange background noises. They're quite good. And no matter how clean your audio files are they will be amazing after you put them through Arphonic. How much does that service cost? Arphonic is free. It has like a two hour processing time per month free thingy. If you want to do multi-channel productions like I do it starts at 9 euro a month. So it's okay. And you can buy credits. If you know you won't do like 10 hours a month you can buy credits. After this post-production circle you have clean audio files.  I use Arphonic to render them in different kinds of file formats. I have MP3, AIC, Fluck and OGG because depending on the device you're listening on you sometimes can open MP3 and Fluck being an open source low compression high fidelity audio. It's nice. I also fabricate chapter blocks so my audience can skip different parts of a podcast or if they're looking for something special it's about amp out of there and jump directly to the time I talk about. I quite obsess over show notes so I write a whole blog post about anything I talk about and there are all the links that I'll talk about in the recording as well. And Arphonic provides me with a lot of metadata I currently do not use actually. So they know what's the percentage of time each speaker took speaking at the recording. They know gender. It's quite a lot of stuff Arphonic can analyze. Also I'm experimenting with automatic transcriptions. Google has an AI service for it and there's like two or three others. Transcription is a nice thing with audio because audio is, you can search in audio. You may know there's a podcast talking about newcomers and a special thing in it but you can't find it because you can't do a text search. If it's transcribed you can search in the transcript and find minutes at the recording. Also it's an accessibility feature but automatic transcription is not super good at the moment there is room for improvement. Let's take it that way. And after I'm done with processing and editing stuff it's time for publishing. And because podcasts are published rather than web there's a neat little software for that you might have heard of it. It's called WordPress. Because of the way podcasts are designed, technically designed, they're quite similar to blogs. We have single entries, RSS feeds, there's media involved, there's text involved, etc. So there are three things I'd like to talk about the organic WordPress and podcasts. Three different solutions. First is simple podcasting. It's a Gutenberg blog developed by our friends that turn up. It's a really simple solution. The second is WordPress.com. You could use WordPress.com in the past for podcast publishing but they added a new feature of it there so it got even easier. And the third option is the one I use for my own podcast. It's called Portal of Publisher. It's a quite extensive plugin and it will take a closer look at it. So simple podcasting is just a Gutenberg blog. You can define all your file to be displayed in there and it will add the player. On WordPress.com I never used WordPress.com myself. You can define a feed for your podcast and it will add a subscribe button, etc. And yeah, I'm rushing through these notes and there's the Portal of Publisher. And what could possibly go wrong will do a little live demo. Do you have any questions so far? So this is the interface the Portal of Publisher provides us with. It's basically a custom host type. I can choose a type of fancy podcast. I could add a description over here. I have an episode number I can give. And podlab allows me to add contributors. So I can say, okay in this episode you hear me and this guest and I don't know who else. Then I define the file name. I have a standardized way to do this. So the stuff of phonic renders has the right names and is put in the right place on my server. So this is just go there and grab it. And if I've configured it right I just have to publish and it's done. But because the Portal of Publisher has about 3 million options it's quite hard. It's an extensive, extensive thing. Let's take a look at the settings. There's a lot of metadata in there. I have to get the name of my podcast, subtitle summary, some artwork and the language that's quite important. And then I can do this over and over again for all kinds of topics. All this data is stored inside my RSS feed. So podcast directories like the iTunes directory can go there and grab it from there. They know the author, they know the title. They also know the artwork and stuff. All of these things are stored inside my feed and put there by the Portal of Publisher. I can define the file formats I want to output. I already mentioned those, 3, AC, etc. And each and every file format has its own feed. So you can explicitly go to the feed and select the kind of file you want to use. Portal of also, because it's not in itself complex enough, has a tweak-based template editor. You can go there and do a kind of crazy stuff with your templating. In most cases you won't need custom templates for this. And I already show you can do stuff with contributors and add not only name and avatar, but also gender, social media profiles, donation links, etc. It's quite nice if you do this over a long time and can do some statistics and say, oh, the guest I most often host is my friend Kasper, who's often over there. Or you can say, OK, let's see all the episodes a special person appeared in. It's quite nice, I'm meaner than I think, so I like these guys. And if we did all of these steps in the correct order and completed them actually, we're back in the podcast area and have published our first episode, hopefully. And that's the point we leave this at. But of course it's not the end of a podcast life cycle because you can do a lot of marketing there. You can talk to people at work camps and talk about your podcast life. So thank you very much for listening, even though it was quite late. And are there any questions? Do you have an example of how the podcast is rendered on the website? How the podcast is rendered on the website? Yeah, of course. And the kind of functionality that the end user actually has to interact with it? The podcast... The podcast publisher has its own web player. It knows about the audio files are specified and the web player knows my browser so it can switch the right file type to be used. And as a user it just can hit the play button and play the file. I can go over here and download it in the form that I like to. And also I can share it with whoever I want to share it with. And all these things are configurable in the plugin? Yeah. You can choose things like color and such networks to display. You can change the plugin if you don't like that plugin. Because you are right now uploaded, do you have to re-upload it again? The question is if you can change the plugin? Yeah, without re-uploading. The files are not uploaded directly to WordPress or the publisher. They are somewhere on the FTP server specified. So technically you don't have to re-upload them, but you might want to consider the effects because if you get rid of the product of the publisher also all your feeds go down, etc. So you should be able to switch plugins, especially other podcast plugins, use custom post types as well, but there is quite a lot of stuff to consider. I think very much for the presentation because I thought it was really, really interesting and I wanted to read it. But I don't know if you could tell me if you were talking about marketing. Ah, podcast marketing. Maybe I'll do it next year. It's a huge topic. You can do very lots. I'm sorry I can't answer this in a short time. For the WordPress world there's a lot of Twitter that's quite useful and maybe Facebook sharing. And you can go all the way with printing flyers or something. I don't know, it's quite a lot to do. Thank you. What's the address of your WordPress podcast site? I'm not here for advertisement. I'm curious. It's pressthis.net. Thank you. I think we run out of time. Is it a short question? No, it's not. The link with IT is in the feed. You can add your feed to iTunes. It's a podcast publishing with iTunes. Thank you.

got the weekly numbers I'm gonna run through those quickly for the week the S&P down just fractionally same as the case it looks like for all three of these major indexes even though they were just fractionally higher today so we've been moving in this range for a while now and I want to bring in Melissa Armel founder and owner of the stock swoosh Melissa it's good to see you on this Friday what do you make of the stock market well not much right now to be honest with you we are caught in the tiniest range that I've ever seen for the last 15 years since I started trading for 15 solid day straight the market in the QQQ's has been in a very tight range we're seeing a lack of commitment or no commitment or no conviction from buyers because the market isn't lifting higher out of the range and the market isn't going lower below the range either like we had Tesla earnings yesterday which fell Tesla gap down the market should have fallen fallen off the planet but it didn't then we had bank earnings that came out when earnings season started we have great earnings from JPM the market should have broke out higher and rally through the area couldn't do with that either so this market is driven 100% right now by what the Fed's gonna say what the Fed's gonna do so the market may be in a range even though there's earnings in the next two weeks before the meeting the market may stay in this range with good earnings bad earnings because the market really doesn't care about earnings the market cares about what the Fed's gonna do and again they're probably gonna raise rates okay well based on the data that we've seen Melissa on the jobs front the inflation front in the past month or so since the Fed's last meeting mid-march do you expect that the Fed does change its tune that it says anything different at the next meeting the next decision that is on May 3rd no because they're still trying to find inflation because we still have high inflation and the Fed's only tool for that in their mind really is continue to increase rates which is of course going to do what it's going to slow down lending it's going to slow down the economy and that's unfortunate and and and already we've already been talking about the fact that we're going to go into recession towards the end of 2023 in fact uh you know Elon Musk did an interview on another channel the other night and said yeah we're going to go into a recession so the fact is that when you have all of these things coming at the market at runs high interest rates uh people are scared because of the bank collapses and then you have this market in this tight range which isn't showing conviction people are worried and they don't know what to do about their investments so people have moved a lot of money around with the bank with the banks going under people are worried about the fdic 250,000 limit and you have a lack of commitment from people overall deciding to buy more in their investments even if something like Tesla which is a great company that fell you know sometimes when stocks fall like that they get a lift people say oh this is a great place to buy it's a perfect price it's a great price but it fell it fell yesterday in fact it could even fall even lower so you have very strong companies right now that aren't reacting positively and even Goldman that came out and gapped down on earnings and rallied really didn't go anywhere higher so let's say we do get a recession I mean we've been talking about a recession since the start of 2022 right and we did technically actually have a recession two back to back quarters of negative GDP growth even though the administration said the jobs market is holding up this isn't a typical recession what does that mean for the stock market can the stock market over time grind higher or does a recession create a red flag predicting that stocks would go down well typically you don't always have the economy and the stock market do the same things so you could have a great economy and the stock market fall you're going to have a bad economy and the stock market rally so that's let me just put that out there but as far as the overall market goes I think that the last time that we saw brand new all-time highs at QQQs was November of 2021 not 2022-2021 so we're talking 18-20 months ago as far as the spy at the beginning of 2022 we had brand new all-time highs but we went all of last year without seeing new highs and this year we may go the rest of 2023 without highs and if banks are going to slow down lending okay that will have an effect on small businesses large businesses commercial businesses and as you've seen even this week Metas laying off people companies since the beginning of the year have been laying off people because they are predicting that we're going to tighten up as far as economically and what happens when you have the banks tighten up on lending so people want to buy stuff then they tighten up on lending they're paying more in-interest rates or they lower their credit card limits what happens when people want to go buy properties or mortgages and want to get a mortgage they can't afford as much so ultimately it slows down than the housing industry when you have lending slowing down you have all types of businesses that borrow whether it's commercial lending whether it's lines of credits and that slows down or costs more and so if sales are going down for businesses and lending is going up again you're gonna you might have some companies that are laying people off or tightening up or even going out of business and so as far as the stock market the reaction to the market goes it wants to see the Fed ease up on interest rates until the Fed makes up their mind that they're gonna lower rates which I don't think they're going to do in 2023 the market isn't going to react positive so we could go into recession the economy could go to downturn but the Fed could lower rates and the market could lift i'm not saying that's going to happen but i'm saying that would be a scenario with not a good economy but a good market it is tricky sometimes that's for sure common sense doesn't always necessarily play out right between the two melissa armo founder and owner of the stocks wish i'm also thank you


You are about to hear a romantic drama. Nola says, I do. Adapted from a story in Street and Smith's love story magazine, and featuring the love story girl in the role of Nola Dixon. This is the love story of Nola Dixon, who helped her uncle John run a small but exclusive flower shop on the ground floor of the fashionable hotel Westmore. It's now half past 10, and Nola is showing signs of growing restlessness. The third time you've watered that ivy, Nola. Oh, did I, Uncle, I mean, have I? You both didn't have. What's the matter? You're as nervous as a hen on a griddle. Oh, you don't suppose anything's happened to him? Who? Why, Mr. Banning. He hasn't been in for his usual morning carnation. Looky here, Nola. You weren't going to go and fall for that young man? Oh, of course not.  He is nice-looking, though, and he's got a lovely suite up on the 20th floor. I saw it the time I took up those potters' alias for his south window. Oh, so that's why you wanted to deliver them yourself. No, no, you're not interested in him, not one little bit.  He's got plenty of money all right, but he doesn't do anything about it. I have no use for a man who doesn't work. All Frank Banning wants to do is ride around in that airplane if he doesn't do crazy stunts. Someday he'll crack up, mark my words. And you're too young and pretty to be left a widow, even with a lot of money. Well, don't get yourself all excited about it, Uncle John. Frank Banning has never even looked at me twice. He probably doesn't know I exist. Well, if he doesn't, he's a mighty blind young man. Well, I guess I better take these roses and delphiniums up to Mrs. Peters. Oh, shh, Uncle John, here he comes now.  Morning, Mr. Banning. Morning, Mr. Dixon. Oh, excuse me, please. My niece will take care of you. Well, yes, she might at that. What's that? Nothing, nothing at all. Don't let me keep you from delivering those flowers. Oh, no, no, indeed. I wouldn't want them to wilt on me. Sorry to be so late this morning. Oh, are you? I hadn't noticed. A red carnation as usual? No, no, I think I'll take a white one this morning. More appropriate. To go with the black eye, you mean? You must have made quite a night of it. No, nothing of the sort. In bed by 10, if you must know. Now, this optic of mine was caused by a crack-up I had yesterday in my plane.  Just the eye. Oh. I guess you'll have to fix this hunk of vegetation in my lapel. I don't seem to see so well this morning. All right. Now, wait a minute. You've got to hold still. Okay. You've got real blonde hair, haven't you? I have. What color are your eyes? What difference does it make? None, not the slightest. What's your name? Fixham, like my uncle. Yes, I know that. I mean your front name. Oh, Nola. Nola. Rather unusual, isn't it? I suppose so. Look here, Nola. How would you like to take a trip abroad? What? You could have a car of your own, money clothes. I bet you'd look swell enough in a lot of expensive clothes. No more work, nothing to do, but have a good time. How'd you like it? How'd you like me to black your other eye? Hey, hey, wait a minute. Hold on there, Jack Dempsey. It's not that kind of a proposal. Well... It's a proposal of marriage. Yes, I want you to marry me. You what? Don't you understand, Nola? I'm asking you to be my wife. You hardly know me. Now you're not going to stand there and tell me that you're in love with me. No, certainly not. Love has nothing to do with it. This is a business proposition. You see, I've got to get married. Got to get married? Why? Well, after that crack-up yesterday, the executor of my late father's estate got pretty sore. Yes. He's an antidiluvian old wreck that thinks I should give up flying. It's too modern. He had his way. I'd be riding around on one of those old-fashioned big-wheeled bicycles. And what's all this got to do with matrimony? Well, you see, according to my father's will, he's got control of my money until I get married. Yes. I guess my dad figured that matrimony would apply the brakes even more than George Salter. That's the executor's name. Mm-hmm. But if you say so, Nola, we can fool them. We can fool all of them. And what if I say I won't marry you? Well, and I'll just have to go and find someone else. That shouldn't be too difficult. No, I suppose not.  And I've got to marry someone, or George Salter will cut off my allowance. So then I'd have to give up flying. And you're willing to risk matrimony with me rather than have to forego that? Uh-huh. That's about the size of it. Well, what do you say? Is it a go? Yes. That's the ticket? Only I want one thing understood. Well, what's that? I'm not marrying you for money, clothes, leisure, or a trip abroad. Well, but... I'm marrying you because I love you. Because you... I've loved you for months. Goodness knows why, but there you are. I'm marrying you on a chance that maybe after you've known me a little while, you'll get to love me a little too. Otherwise, it's all off. I know. Very well. I don't make any rash promises, but... I can always try. Then that's settled. All right, Frank. You may kiss the bride. Yes, but no, I... I believe it's customary. Very well. I guess I can stand it if you can. I'll be brave. Gosh, that packed more voltage than I expected. Didn't it? Well, I... I suppose if you want to get married sometime next month, you'd better start taking me out so we can get acquainted. Next month, be blowed. I can't wait that long, Nola. I mean, to get my plane back. We'll go out for dinner and a bit of dancing tonight, and tomorrow, we get married. What in thunder has got into you? But he said he'd be here to get me this morning at 10 o'clock sharp. Who said that? Frank Banning, of course. What's going on at 10 o'clock between you and Frank Banning? That's so all-fired important. We're getting married. You're what? Getting married. Oh, it's just the platonic arrangement. At least that's what he thinks. Well, I'll be horn-swallowed. You young people, I declare you don't think anymore of getting yourself married nowadays, than you do of eating an ice cream soda. Less. Oh, dear, why doesn't he... Oh, there he is now. Yes? Hello? Hello, Frank? Yes, yes, it's Nola. Where are you? Well, I'm already. I thought you said you'd be here by 10. You what? Oh, you borrowed the money to get your airplane fixed. Oh. What? But you can't go up in there today. They've not had enough time to make the proper repairs. But Frank, please. Well, what about the wedding? We can be married tomorrow, but Frank, it's unlucky to postpone a wedding. Please, Frank, I have a horrible feeling that something will happen if you go up today. Frank, I... please. He hung up. Where's my hat? Now, where do you think you're going? Out to the airport. Frank Banning isn't going up in that airplane today. Not if I can help it. Pardon me, but could you tell me which is Mr. Banning's plane? Oh, this is it, lady. This one right here. Oh, I see. Mr. Banning hasn't showed up yet? No, ma'am. I'm Mr. Banning's fiancé. He told me to come and meet him here. I suppose it's all right if I climb into the plane. Well, it's all right by me, lady. I'm only the mechanic. Oh, thank you. I guess you'll have to help me in. Oh, sure. Why not? Up today. Oh, thank you. There you are. Oh, dear, where do you suppose he is? Mr. Banning, I mean. I don't know, lady. I'm waiting for the guy going himself. I want to show him how I fix that altimeter. What's that? Oh, that contraption there. Oh, is it a very important part of the flying equipment? Sure, I'll say it is. Well, it must be about your lunchtime. Yes, and I'm hungry, too. Well, you go right ahead. I'll take good care of the plane until Mr. Banning comes. I guess he will have that. Tell Mr. Banning where he can find me if he wants me. Sure. I mean, certainly. Well, so long. So long. Altimeter. Important part of the equipment. It looks kind of fragile to me. If I break the door, gone things, then you won't be able to go up today. I've got it. The heel of my slipper. No, it is. There you are. So you're going to postpone your wedding to go flying, Mr. Frank Banning? Well, I'll show you. Hey, what's the big idea? Well... Look here. I didn't think you'd see me.  You don't think that I'd give up flying for any dumb wife that took it into her head? Oh, no, Frankie. You can fly. It's your business. It's just for today. Well, don't you see? Can't you understand, Frankie? It was going to be our wedding day. Now you want to go flying instead. Oh, so that's it. I'm to give up flying, but only till after I'm safely married. So that if anything does happen, you'll inherit my property. Frank, stop it. You don't know what you're saying. Oh, don't I.   I've borrowed enough to go on with my flying.  Where to, lady? First, I want to go to the First National Bank, and then I want to go to the Westmore Hotel and hurry. Yes, ma'am.  Don't worry. I didn't come here to talk, but to give you this, take it. Oh, what's this? $500 for my own savings to fix up your dog-gone equipment. And I wouldn't marry you, Frank Bannon, if you were the last man on earth. So there. You don't need to go pulling all the petals off my geraniums. Just because you've gone, I had a spat with your young man. Oh, he's not my young man. I never want to see him again. Good afternoon. I know this is pretty late in the day for me to come in for my carnation. I'm sorry, Mr. Banning, but Uncle John will have to wait on you. I'm busy. No, just a moment. I don't want Uncle John, Nola. I want you.  Come on, Nola. Get your hat. We're going places. Oh, no, we're not. Oh, yes, we are. We're going to the Justice of the Peace. If I have to carry you... That's what you think. I've been thinking things over, and I wouldn't marry an indolent good-for-nothing waster whose only interest in life is doing a lot of loop-the-loops than playing leapfrog with cloudbanks for all the money in the world I wouldn't marry him. Nola, listen to me. I've been thinking things over myself. You were right. I've decided to sell the plane and settle down to some kind of work so I can support a family, in case I have a family, all by myself. But... But, Frank, you mean... I mean... that I've found something in life that's a lot more important to me than flying. Nola, didn't you guess? Didn't you know? I'm... I'm crazy about you.

Hello, I'm Wojciech from ST Microelectronics Power Application Lab and I want to introduce you to our new family for motor control. This one is called ST Spin 200 series. It's one of our newest product families and it's the smallest motor control drivers that we have within ST Microelectronics portfolio. This is ST Spin 200 for applications that range from 1.8 to 10 volts so you can use it anywhere what is portable, what is battery supplied with one or two battery cells. As I said, the voltage range is up to 10 volts and current up to 1.3 amps operating. So you can use to drive any motor including the brush DC motor, stepper motor and the BLDC motor. With ST Spin 200 series we have extra low standby consumption which ranges down to 20 nano amps. So if the motor is not turning the consumption is almost negligible. I have our newest product from this family which is ST Spin 233 and this is a product dedicated to drive BLDC motors. We can drive either 6 step or FOC vector control so you can use it for low cost, very easy applications and also for vector oriented control applications for brush DC motors. There is full set of productions that are integrated inside the driver like short circuit, like over temperature. So the device is self protected and you don't need any external components to protect the driver. What is also interesting we have as I said product for every motor. So for example for stepper motor we have a driver that is capable to drive microstepping mode up to 256 microstepping. So you can use the device to drive very smooth and precise positioning application. This is the ST Spin 200. Here we provide the products together with X-Nucleoboard, Ecosystem, full firmware support and also software that you can use to quickly evaluate your application and to demonstrate the features in your project. So thank you.


It's my great pleasure to print Gunnar Wolff who is going to be covering what you need to do to Have Debcon 12 at your location Hey Well So by now you you will most know that the Devco fees are great and fun Event so the thing is each year we have to decide what the what comes next where to go How to do it? How does this work? okay so Well, why do we do this? This is the list of topics we were covering Why do we do devconf? What does a location have to have in order to? Hold a conference or to be candidate it What's the timeline for the decision process what I've been telling to several people today? We're not deciding anything We're just doing a first Set of presentations and we will be deciding well along the following year and If we have them some proposals So well, why do we do this first of all? Because we all love Debian and it's a very serious and professional thing to do to hold a conference Where people work for 20 hours a day and try to get some sleep after playing mouth for the remaining four a well That's that that's the main formal reason for it besides that well, we hold it because It's great fun because well, okay Yeah, we we want to provide a place for Debian developers and Debian related and Debian interested people to work together to get together and To share experiences and to do all those things we cannot do online Which is our well, of course our main a means of? Coordination yep, many people are surprised that Mostly the the first commerce to that come that we're actually not not that productive Most of us during the outcome, but then again, this is what fuels The the work during the the rest of the the year It's a great motivator and a great location to start projects and to start talking towards what we're going to do the next months Then educate people I don't exactly like the wording of this, but but the thing is sharing some ideas sharing some a Prospects of things we want to implement or a or spreading a how are we? Carrying forward our tasks. Yep. So so that more people can can use the new fungal stuff It's always more attractive to see a seat in a demo than to read the documentation Well, as I said a socialization is a very important part I Have a come to see Debian more as a social group with a technical outcome than the opposite which is true for most Software projects. Yep. We're a group with a very strong show social ties Many of us have a come to over five dev comps and that really makes it We all look forward to that time of year so we can well Yeah, work a lot and meet the friends and This helps helps a lot of knitting together the the network throughout the rest of the year And yeah boost the motivation as I said This is a motivator for what goes next then and well a this is a put that lower priority As a result of discussions we have a for a long time. Of course, what is the dev comp meant to be? What's our a? Perspective for for working on this. Yep. It's somewhat less priority, but it's still very important a To boost the local Debian communities I know that that several countries where we have had a web health dev comp This has directly increased the a local involvement in Debian local involvement in free software and even the the success of free software in a As it's seen as something bigger as something more professional a when Say local authorities get to see 300 Individuals from all over the world working for two weeks. Yeah, of course, it's very important to have some fun in real life it's a different kind of a Interaction than what what we usually have and yeah, well This is not a goal, but a by-result which is also very good that Thanks to our sponsors, which are each year very generous and even in the most expensive places like this one Have managed to cover for all of the expenses for all of the people who request free Free food free accommodation even a travel sponsorship. Yep. It's a bit of a payment for our Work as volunteers during the year. Of course, it's not a In money, but it's in species payment and well, it's a nice say extra we can We can give Debian contributors And well, what's even more interesting than that is that so many people? even being a core contributors Decide well, I don't want to cost the project any money. I will be funding myself since we started like being more public about our finances which are always tight with never too bad never to Do to good well? Each year more people have decided to pay for their stays, which is also great Okay, what does a proposed location have to have in order to? be candidates for the comp a Location must have a local team a strong group of Yeah, a group of people say at least some five people who who can commit to work together They do not have to be Debian related They just have to be locals and committed to work towards this as a free software conference. Yeah, but Yeah, manpower is fundamental for this They have to choose a city town spa resort hot by the sea whatever But it doesn't have to be chosen by now But it has to be chosen the the earliest possible so we can well. Yeah, look at something more concrete. Yep saying a Just a country. Well, doesn't the doesn't give us any real insight on how this is conference facilities say if you want to host it at a place where there are large universities with dormitories as here Or do you want to host it at a hotel? Have been done in a several Latin American places. Yeah, it's very important to look at that point food What? What will we be giving people how expensive our meals in this country or place? Do we have a Enough like for considering people with dietary restrictions like vegetarians vegans people with allergies Yeah, that's a very hard point to to get in some places and of course If it's going to be a two-week a two-week meeting We have to have some variety because people don't want to eat Rice with chicken for two days or two for two weeks in a row Network connectivity we need good network coverage as we've seen here even the best Networks like Columbia's have given us problems We have really suffered for at places with bad network connectivity So it's very I mean we cannot work without the network So it's even it's almost meaningless to have a conference where we cannot work We are setting like a minimum connectivity Getting a 10 to 20 megabits a symmetric links. So so yeah We cannot work with say DSL of links or or a Cellular networks. Yep Special depth confirms we we want our spaces to be as exclusive as possible This this has been a bit of a problem here And people who have been at previous conferences know that it's very nice that a depth of you can trust that you can Leave your computer anywhere. You can leave your valuables. I mean there's Very high degree of trust in this community and yeah, it's very desirable. We We are not We do not have to worry about our stuff, of course It's not so necessary as we see here. Nothing has happened Given we are in a large university full of people, but it's a good to have Accommodation has to be as close as possible to the work spaces Yeah to allow for a late night hacking to allow for a Going to the room for something and yeah, it can be I don't know like here a couple of blocks away It's fine, but we should really not look into having a I don't know a hotel and the conference facility 10 blocks away or so which has been has happened, but it has say like disrupted our activities Phone and free time activities. Yeah, because we're not only here for the work We well yesterday we had the day trip and you will acknowledge It's a the social part is very very important and local sponsors We have worked with local sponsors giving us money. That's the most flexible thing but also We have acknowledged a local sponsors as people who can provide either lent equipment or a cheap Services or for free services. Yeah, but we need to get some things local We cannot expect to to bring everything from abroad this time. For example, we had a large A amount of stress for the video team because the microphones were stuck in the customs waiting to be Okay, so we want to have as much infrastructure as possible locally Okay, I would add to this to this having a Be a hosting this at a place where we can buy whatever is needed for not to Not too hard. I mean when we were in Mexico we were in a well in a village Like 30 minutes away from the state capital and there were no computer stores nearby I mean for very simple things. Yes, but if you wanted to get anything a bit more Specialized you have to make a one-hour trip and back Well, yeah when a round trip So that's completely suboptimal. We want to hold it in a place where if I need something now 20 minutes later. I have it Okay, so we want to follow a similar process to what we have done past years. Yep. We have starting today we still have approximately six months for proposals to Show up or to decline say I was just talking with an arcad and they got him mixed into all this The thing is he's he's running for Canada. Yes, even if he doesn't want to Yeah, we have six months for him to confirm or for others to confirm or to say no We don't want to make noise. We are withdrawing the proposal. So but for December 31st We want to have the final list of locations and We will do the decision on April 1st, and it's not going to be a joke decision Yeah, we will trade try to do it earlier, but the final The final deadline is a April 1st. This leaves us with about 14 months to organize, which is clearly enough We have a checklist in the wiki. I don't have the link here But to look for a devconf checklist Where you where you should see a list of points we want to take care of and their Priority, so that's a great document if you want to start putting you together your your proposal We use this method for that comes seven eight ten and eleven. Yeah previous dev coms were like a decided the Person-to-person interactions and devconf nine the Extremadura proposal was so strong that it had no competition so Well If this process has worked very well, even though as always as there are people pushing for what they consider to be best There's always somebody who who ends up a bit Disappointed because they didn't win. Okay, but we're people and they were expected to deal with frustration only one proposal can win and Yeah, we can change the schedule, but we should agree on this soon so as far as I know a Brazil the Brazil team was proposing a with two possible locations a bello horizonte or again Porto legre I'm not mistaken. No Curitiba, yeah Curitiba Central America I have been personally pushing that community To to try to get more involved into devian They are they have a great local team, and I think they can get good facilities, but I am Still a bit uncertain. I can talk a bit about what I've seen I after the other presentations a Canada Canada is presenting Montreal or something else. We shall see So oh, yeah, I just added Canada. So this regard the the inconsistency in my side So well, well we can have a short presentation by each group if you have it if you don't well Just to say hi and I am submitting myself for public humiliation so and well they continue having fun so a Does the Brazilian team have something prepared? Yeah, aren't you hello? Oh So my name is my name is Felipe. I am from Brazil I am leading the the beat for now and Here are some slides the the main idea here is to make it official that Brazil is a candidate I'm gonna show a little bit about the two cities that are the strongest cities and why they are the strongest cities so This is Brazil The two cities are Curitiba and Belo Horizonte, which is Still southern they are they are Belo Horizonte is above the Tropic, but Curitiba. No The main entrance will be Sao Paulo. We will speak about that in a moment. So I just want you to have a good idea of Where are planning to have it? None of the cities are in the beach. So they are a little bit far from it and and This this hopefully gives you a picture and We are going to go green and yellow The main language in the country is Brazilian Portuguese. It is different from Portuguese although Brazilians and Portuguese can understand each other very well For specifically for a computer It is a little bit different more or less in the same sense that Spanish from Spain and Spanish from Latin America differs on some certain terms and and certain Options one of the things is that for Portuguese in Brazil We feel that if Portuguese from Portugal speaks fast we can really follow them We are most often need to see three. So it is The two cities are under this time zone. We will have it in winter. So It is this time zone that will be in effect Our money is real This is more or less what we have in the last years regarding money so This gives you a picture of how much it will cost our Main our main power is 110 we are right now in the middle of a plug mess the government changed to a new Plug standard, which is a standard published by European Union That should be the standard for the European community in a few years We are kind of ahead So it is already standard in Brazil and it is the same plug as the Switzerland one the three yes and and The other but we still have with the main plug our main plug is the US plug so this is still present in a lot of place and only the new buildings and These things will have the new plug and for I think three or four years which covers that come We should also have both plugs in everywhere So about visas, which is a very big point for everybody Europeans don't need a visa. They have 90 days for for traveling around it includes Conference because our conference is not a business conference of classification The Brazilian government applies the reciprocity principle So if your country asks a visa from a Brazilian Brazil who asks a visa from citizen Coming from that country, which for instance applies to Americans as through United States of America It is much easier to apply for visas. It is not it's it tends to be fast 15 days should be enough for most Of the countries that require visa South America's fine Central America most of it Mexico also requires visa from Brazilians. So Brazilian will Brazil will require a visa from them. I am not sure about all of the countries, but for the main Mass of Deben developers. That's that's the main idea The prices for the visas are more or less equivalent under the same principle So if it's like $100 to get a United States visa should be the same if you want to get a Brazilian visa from the United States So now you some of you may be thinking we already have a Deben conf So it's the first time that a country is reapplying after of course France which held true in a row That's true. Porto Alegre was the city. It's very southern The Deben conf 4 and here is one of the things a few things that I want to highlight Deben conf 14 was 11 people nine local only one Deben developer amongst them and Three of those people are already in the Deben comes 12 team. So we want to keep the experience that they had We had 162 attendees from 25 different countries and we had eight sponsors at that time this this companies Four of them were money inside Brazil four of them were international money Deben conf 4 had great things happening that women was born there This is their classical there is no cabal picture and We introduced the concept of the day trip the attendees went to the mountains gramadu It's in the final report from Pablo which lead the beat at that time that it was It was a mixed feeling about the attendees that some didn't like it was too tourist some love it and But it seems to get Along the lines and everybody now likes it. So why should we repeat a country first of all? Brazil is not exactly a small country. We are the 50 largest country in size and in population So it's like 80 million Square kilometers 193 million people So if you look it is Belarus Belarus on she the state of Belarus on she which is Minas Gerais is larger than France Paraná, which is the state of Curitiba is larger than a few countries in Europe and Why not Sao Paulo, which is the largest city in Brazil? Sao Paulo should be comparable to New York City In size, but we don't have the same subway system. It is not as effective Sao Paulo suffering hard time from the traffic. It is much worse than it's in New York City and We don't have a local team so Although we have like 20 them and developers around there and a lot of them in users. They don't like work together it's not being promoted and and That may change now that we became official But we still think that it will be a nightmare for logistic for going and buy something or for Providing infrastructure and it probably may be more expensive here also so Belarus on she's the first city. This is the state of Minas Gerais. This is the city inside of the state And here are some pictures. This is the airport This is one of the largest soccer stadiums in Brazil This is the the city the view of the city Belarus launches the 60 large largest city in Brazil This is the it is about two Three million people if you count the the great area of the city They have subway they have train systems for for transportation These are some Turiski pictures. This is a famous cathedral This is another church there. It is a very strong region Related with religion there are Mineros here, which is who borns in Melhorizonte Marcos here, okay So he can answer questions and explain more because I'm not from the city I just collect some pictures and we are not trying to defend the beats today. So this is the Main this is the Single flower and now there's the symbol monkey This is the federal University on the city. So both cities have federal universities Here comes Curitiba. This is the Panamai state where there's also Some of you know it I pull the largest and power plant but it's across The country it's across the state Curitiba is like here Foss is like here. So it is 700 kilometers There's Curitiba and Here are some pictures from the city. This is the airport. This is this view of the city It is the seventh largest city. So it's right after Right after Belorison chi here are some pictures This is the famous botanical garden. This is the wire frame opera Which is all tubular structure. This is the winter in Curitiba. It is Curitiba is 800 meters above the ocean level. So it Kinds of get colder not as cold as some North countries, but This is one of the last Architecture from Oscar Niemeyer. This is parks Curitiba has a lot of parks This is the federal University. This is the oldest University in Brazil. It is of Erected in 1912. So it's about it will be 100 years if that will be in Brazil and I think the last picture now is our transportation system, which we don't have subways Curitiba has too many rivers under the city now there is technology to do it, but there wasn't 30 years ago. So we use these large buses. They are they have these articulations They have special Streets that they run alone and they run very fast through the city. So transportation It is considered one of the best transportation systems inside Brazil. So this is an old Army Building that is now a theater and it's also an auditorium. So it can help conference. That's why pictures there So both cities are state capitals, which makes it easier for a lot of the points that we have They are the 16 large and 7th largest city Both of them have federal University and that's important because all the federal universities are connected to the largest backbone in the country So connectivity from the universities would be possible and it would be viable for a small amount of price because usually universities are very Kind with free software projects and we wouldn't need to buy it But buy it is also a possibility if you have to if you decide to go to a hotel or something like that Good connectivity both for airports and networks The airports would be another leg inside Brazil. So most of you will arrive Through Sao Paulo and then this is just another leg would be another our Chico de Chiba or to Belo Horizonte and it really doesn't add anything to the price It should be something like $50 in an international trip price. So that shouldn't affect the price Both city has strong local teams experienced ones in it and in organizing events And we kind of supported each other so Brazil will you have a kind of National organization team doesn't matter where what what the see what city wins. We will move We'll go there a few days before we will keep traveling around to make sure things work But both the cities have something like 15 people that is involved with free software Belo Horizonte has more Deben developers than Curitiba But both cities have a strong community around Debian. So that should be a Good initial first step because we have like 15 people to start from and And We have knowledge of that comf. I'm involved with that comf since that comf 6 in Mexico I've been part of the org team since that comf 7. So I'm well aware of the process the steps the dates All the checklist procedures how the beads are evaluated and all that stuff We also have Other Brazilian that are volunteers for video team and other tasks inside so they know Things that are required for video team, which is another big concern About having the a good infrastructure for them. So This is this is one thing that we believe it's very good for Brazil We already held one and we have people that is still involved. So it is it should we should It should be easier for us to cover all the topics and our checklist And in preparation for that we started the process of holding mini debcoms in Brazil So this year we will hold the first mini debcoms in Brazil. This has the main purpose to attract people get people together around the idea that we will try to have that comes 12 and and This is also to try to have more people involved in Debian So we are aiming for November to the first one and next year It will happen probably around fizzly the big event that happened in Porto Alegre's in Porto Alegre. So This is the main This is the main points for Brazil We we are still collecting a lot of data to prepare the page so What we would do is that we decided we will proceed with something similar that the international Debian Conf does we will try to have both CDs fulfill all the checklist then we will held internal meetings to evaluate which one's best and Then and then decided based on that so we will have the best possible bid inside Brazil to held that comf and Another thing that I want to highlight is that it's really really different We really want to to move away from Porto Alegre because we really want you all to see Another part of the country. It's a large country. So as we move north things really change and One question that may arise is why not rainforest or a beach or something like that? The rainforest the biggest kept capital city in the rainforest is Manaus But they even the locals agree that they don't have the network to accept us Networks very expensive and it's very unreliable. So That's that's one of the main problems and the second one is traveling even for Brazilians would be very expensive. So we can't really Have a damn comf there yet, but the other the other cities should be a possibility We will promote that inside Brazil to have more candidates and then we'll try but we believe those cities are the strongest ones So that's it. I don't know if we have time for a question Gunnar if another Okay, yeah Okay, I didn't want you to look at me So I Well, some of us I had the idea of hosting that country all We haven't got anything prepared whatsoever. I just made up a quick list of Ideas and things why we could do that in Montreal. I think a lot of people are enthusiastic about it one of the biggest challenges in Montreal would be to Have a strong local team to organize it. I'm a demian maintainer since little and There are very few demian people in Montreal, but I think we have a strong open source community There is a canonical office in Montreal. So there's a lot of open to people also that could maybe help That is subject to debate But Montreal is a very interesting city in general for the host conferences. It's a world-class world-class city It's the second biggest city in Canada It's bilingual so it's not a problem if you don't speak French you can Talk to us in English and usually peace people respond very well in Montreal outside of Montreal in Quebec It's kind of more complicated But in general in Canada, Canada is a bilingual country at least on paper and when it's not Completely bilingual. It's because it's English So Yeah, Montreal is this kind of mix between an American and European cities what makes it very interesting for people to visit We have silly beach on the river sort of It's a very open city and we have well a lot of technological companies and Infrastructures and Montreal so there is shops and all this usual stuff you get in a big city It's quite inexpensive for the city it is I mean usually people expect Such a city to be more expensive for rents and all this stuff But Montreal is known as being very inexpensive and it's kind of a big small city or small big city So you have all the advantages and advantages of a big city But you have the feeling of a being in a small friendly city So it's very It's very good for that We have good technical expertise I work with an organization and on profit that's called commit.org that uses and develops Debian but also other free software and we have good expertise with networking and we have a strong Wi-Fi community that can provide probably provide Infrastructure at a conference What else is there? Yeah, there are a few Linux user groups php user groups things like that We have a very good transit system in Montreal It's not as developed as New York because well materials get a smarter in terms of population size But it's very clean metro system materials are very also a secure city and friendly city So that you don't get mugged when you get out of your conference with your laptop And we have cheap bicycle rentals from the city so you can get a bicycle for a day And it's like five bucks And there are a lot of festivals during the summer and it's very Very friendly the only problem there is in Canada these days is that they have started changing the rules for visa So it's a bit more complicated for some countries to Get into the country whereas before a lot of people didn't need visas like Mexico and Czech Republic now need required visa What? Okay, but anyways, I It's it's still a much easier in my mind to get to the Canada than the US So it's a big compromise between the two a good compromise. So I'm not sure I will run a full Proposal by December, but I think it's important to have an alternative And another option and if people want to help him while they're we come to come and see me Otherwise, I'll be probably working on this for it to submit a proposal Okay, and Well, I'll talk a little bit about why we are also pushing for Central America None of them were able to come here maybe Big partly because well, they Some of them have been denied the US visa and some of them preferred not to apply because well the Central American community is amazing But it's a very young community. I was in Nicaragua last year for their first Central American free software meetup It was an amazing thing. First of all, it's a very young community Most people are around 20 to 25 But they managed to to do something logistically amazing, which was well to hold a 100 people conference at a well quite decent hotel For for three days at $80 per person all inclusive That's not the location I would choose for us because it's a in a smaller town and it has all the disadvantages We we have suffered in the past but Well, the Nicaraguan people are very Very much willing to hold the adept conf in managua They are putting together a proposal and they are assuring me that in their universities, which do have a dormitories it is They have a good enough infrastructure for us. I will be I mean, I will check that up and of course They will be presenting this. I mean, I I don't mean to to do a presentation for them as I don't Really know the insights of their process and the places they are considering a central america So it's a very cheap place where we can go And have very good facilities. It has a very good I mean, not even the country has been decided, but they have very good tourist facilities Nicaragua is very interesting as it is Well, on one side it's the safest country in the region You may have heard the horror stories of mainly in salvador with the maras Which yes, at least for us who don't don't live there scares us away And they will talking to To him. Well, it seems it's real The horror stories, but well, nicaragua seems to be a very safe place We are also talking with well people in Guatemala costa rica panama also want to hold it But they are acting as a single entity. Yeah, the six countries in central america are in a very interesting integration process So we are talking about one community Regarding the visas they don't require visas for anybody, which is a great thing. I mean Yeah, it's it's not from being a citizen of a Of a country which others don't like so if that's the reason many of them didn't come well They nobody will have that problem going there Well, and it has beautiful places around the three times have been to central america It's always you want to stay more because it's amazing all the richness they have I don't know if you if you want to add something regarding your region Do you want to add something I didn't say regarding the region? Hi, I from El Salvador Yeah, one of our reasons about the the the facility from from central america Guatemala El Salvador and nicaragua and For example, nicaragua is a is a younger team and El Salvador is is a is a little older, but Uh Some Contro is The look the group from central america are not very involved in in deviant. So maybe we can host abel conf and and work together Salvador nicaragua and guatemala, but Maybe we need to be more involved with deviant and And maybe I don't know The security is a Maybe can be a contra but it depends of the city. So Managua is a really Safe play and El Salvador to have other cities can be uh hosted but Maybe we need to more involved in deviant for for try to to host a uh adel conf and and work together or are not A country maybe work together uh center america people Okay, so we still have a couple of minutes. I don't know if any of you has questions regarding the okay, so do So just a quick comment a bit mini comps. Um They're a lot of fun and They're a good way to gain experience to organize a dev comp a full dev comp. So, um There's a few upcoming There's one in India in august for a couple of days in the early august. There's also one in november at fos asia in vietnam Hopefully some of you might be interested in coming to those That's uh, that's right and Is this working? Yeah, okay. And uh, by the way, the central america community held a mini dev comp I Was among the planners, but in the end couldn't attend because of well scheduling problems But if you want to talk about how that was look for anto Yeah from well the the spanish group that Made the dev conf nine. He spent a year in panama And he organized a mini dev conf there Which well, which is helping To get the more involvement from the central americans. But anyway, yep Anything else? Okay, so Again, this is nothing definitive. We can still have more candidacies and Of course any of the current candidacies candidacies can drop and well, I I hope This Leads to a nice debate and we have well, we have a Good bits and that will lead to a very good dev conf 12 So continue enjoying and thank you.
