391337 - Podcasts for Mozilla conference calls

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(mozilla.org Graveyard :: Server Operations: Projects, task)

Description

[Matthew Gertner]

I think there should be high-quality podcasts available for all public Mozilla conference calls. Like many Mozilla-friendly folks, I'm not based in the U.S. and it's often hard for me to listen in live. There was a podcast or two of some status calls at one point, but this seems to have died off and in any case the quality was so bad that it was hard (bordering on painful) to listen to them. It would be an amazing resource if all calls were available as RSS and on iTunes so that people like me can subscribe to them and listen to them on the go.

Sorry if I misclassified this bug. I had no idea where to put it. Maybe there needs to be a new "Multimedia" category somewhere?

Recording of individual phone calls and accessing them through the web portal on the phone system is already possible.  I've got doing the same with conference rooms on the feature request list.  In the mean time, we've been doing these manually when people ask.

What do you mean by the "web portal on the phone system." How do I access this?

From a usability perspective, it would be invaluable IMO to have feeds so that the recordings can be subscribed to.

If you don't have an extension number at Mozilla, you don't.  It's web-based access to voicemail and other phone system features, basically.

Yes, I agree.  It's probably going to take some programming work to make it happen automatically though.

I believe Asa has a video podcast of the Monday Weekly Update meetings available somewhere now.  That takes care of the main need, but it's not a general solution for everything mentioned here.

I have the new build of the phone system software that's supposed to include the new conference stuff, hoping to get it tested on a staging server this week to see how it works.

This has been basically replaced by Air Mozilla.
