    • Machine Prep

  • Prep special disks for encoder and presenter machines
  • We should resolve the ppt97 vs ppt2k issue.
  • We should purchase another boat anchor so that we can leapfrog the machines.
  • We will try using Jon's laptop as the encoder machine again, and we will use Aaron's machine as the monitor.
    For the dry run, Jon and Aaron should bring your laptops, powersupplies and ethernet cards and cables.
    You should both be sure to bring your floppy drives and spare power supplies on Wednesday. We had floppy problems last time, so be sure to bring them to the workshop
  • Install ppt97 or ppt2k on all the machines (Jon's, Aaron's, the presentation machine) I would like to be able to use Aaron's machine as the backup presentation machine. My machine will be the backup encoder.
  • Install PC Anywhere on the various laptops. I think that the original media we had is gone, so we should order another copy, though this can wait.
  • Set up dummy directories: c:\\inetpub\\wwwroot\\gsrc\\talks\\1999\\sanjose
  • URL to use would be: http://10.0.0.1/gsrc/talks/1999/sanjose/talk_number, where talk_number is 01, 02 etc.

    Dinner

  • We will record the dinner if we can get a copy of the slides.

    • Post Production Cleanup

    • Copy ppt and asf files to gigavault.
    • Each ASF File needs to be properly truncated at the beginning. I usually used the NetShow ASF Indexer to do this.
    • Sometimes each ASF File needs to have the URL to the initial slide added at the start of the now truncated clip. Again, the NetShow ASD Indexer is used.
    • For each presentation, generate slide GIFS, save as HTML and generate PDFs. Generating PDF requires that Adobe Acrobat be installed
    • Edit the following files:
      mkallasx.sh
      Add each talk to this file
      mkasx.sh
      change the paths from the previous workshop to the current workshop, and update the title.
      lib/footer.htm
      Update the name of the workshop
    • Run make
    • Check the files. If we use Powerpoint 2k to generate the HTML, pay particular attention to the dhtml that is generated and look for bogus output.
