Here's the draft for the magazine post: https://fedoramagazine.org/?p=38449&preview=1&_ppp=42f4f89658

I only need to decide on the date and time for the session, etc.
Let me know if I need to change anything so far.

@ankursinha It was suggested to me here: https://pagure.io/fedora-magazine-newsroom/issue/202

to add a short description of fedora classroom for someone who might now know about it; it makes even more sense now as there has been quite some time since the last classroom session.

So can I just add a small paragraph about the fedora classroom in the very beginning of the post?

Yes, that would be great.

I see that we also support an "offline delivery model" where instead of teaching a class live, one can record a class and publish it (because of issues like Jitsi not being able to take on too much load + recording issues etc.):

https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-join/classroom/classroom/#_sessions

What do you think? Would you like to teach a live session, or would you prefer to record your session and publish that? The latter gives a lot more flexibility.

Sorry---we haven't done a session in a while so I'm quite out of the loop on what we'd all discussed all that time ago.

Yeah I think a recorded video would be nice if that's an option.

Also how do I mention it in the magazine post ahead of time? Is there a team for stuff like youtube and such so I can further discuss the specifics with them?

If you are doing a pre-recorded video, you just publish the magazine post with it when it's ready. The post doesn't need to be published ahead of time.

We'll have to ask who the current Fedora Youtube channel handlers are, I'm not sure. @join-sig: would anyone else know?

@ankursinha, I think any of us (join-sig) have acces to it

if this not changed from all this time, I think commops like @bt0dotninja or mindshare

Regards.,

Mindshare runs Hopin request process. If Jitsi is not a good fit for webinar, you could check Hopin.
If you haven't used Hopin before, you need to test drive it to get used to UI and recording features.

After Hopin event is completed, Justin creates issue ticket in Design team with the download link in Google drive for video files.

I've been thinking of doing this one as a pre-recorded video for now, considering this https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Classroom/OfflineSessionsProposal among other things.

Depending on the response I might do 1 or 2 more sessions next month, and then maybe I can try a live session :smile: if people have difficulty asking questions or maybe we can use the youtube premiere feature to release the video on a given time and I can answer questions in live chat or matrix or IRC for some window of time.

@ankursinha if I'm doing a recorded video I can just edit the images, text etc over the video?
I don't necessarily have to use say a powerpoint slide like a live session?

Just making sure before I start working on it :D

No presentations are necessary (even for a live session). I've done sessions on git, packaging and so on which have been completely hands on with me running commands in the terminal.

I thought I would also note that the Fedora Design team could also support on very light video editing and graphic design. For example, they could add starting/ending title cards and also create a custom thumbnail for the video.
