DH updates
- MAGCon - Oct 18-20th
- Initiative signups are boomin! Socks/Nate/Matt will be sending out more specific instructions to empower you to do what you said you wanted to help with! <3
- Rooms-out-of-block time! We used all 25 last year (and had to awkwardly tell 2 dev groups that we didn’t have a room for them, which negatively impacted layout and their experience), number must go up this year.
Surprise stoldal:
- Camera in the expo halls!
- we’d like to generally keep it wide, not zoomed in on specific attendees who may or may not be able to consent to being high-def on magtv
- we can have a static camera or ptz
- PTZ would be cool bc what if we game-ify the video feed… twitch chat plays look around Expo C (can we do this without being in conflict with the consent thing above)
- If we can put boundaries on the parameters, this should be fun and safe (tm)!
- stoldal can get us a controller, we can have a task floor explore what could be done this year
- year 1 might just be fun static looks that we change occasionally, and we’ll learn what we can do with it for year 2
- Can we put it on a truss (big hat?)
- otherwise, stoldal has a light stand, or he might be able to rent a different way to rig it
- Lightstand inside the cubes! This would also take care of the network drop it needs
- Giffinator
- Chromatte got unapproved from the budget
- talk to Murnane about jumbotron output
Curation:
- Game Jam:
- Hardware finalized, jam may be pushed back to october.
- Submissions: 20 (25 at this point last year, 17 more in the final 2 days)
- We’re at our traditional point where we want to extend, usually get a big rush in the last couple days.
- Extension until 9/14 - announce it in a big sm blast on friday whee!
Layout:
- Merch may be moving, need to meet about Expo-C overall layout
