Host Your PodFic On The Internet Archive (Supported AO3 Embedding)

Currently there are 3400+ podfics publicly available on the Internet Archive. You can also edit the metadata on an item to set "noindex" to "true", with the result that the item is not findable on the site, so the actual number of podfics is greater. 

Escapade Convention - Tech and Volunteers

escapade_con posted: Tech Information and Call for Volunteers [Escapade Con]

How do I connect to Escapade 31?
Our plans are to have panel conversations (video optional) on Zoom, text chat on Discord, video streaming on Vimeo, and the art show on Tumblr. If you have any concerns about accessing the virtual convention, we will be running a "test drive" session on Saturday afternoon before the convention (February 13) with activity on all platforms. You will be able to try out your system, and get live tech support from convention staff. We want everyone to be connected and confident before the convention launches on February 19.

Do I have to buy hardware or software?
No. All of the applications we are planning to use are free on the user's side. If you want to speak in panels (via Zoom) but your computer doesn't have a microphone, you can connect via phone or tablet. If you don't have a phone or tablet, you can still participate via text chat in Discord. If you want to show your face in Zoom, but your computer doesn't have a camera, you can use a tablet or smartphone.

How can I help?
Thank you for asking! If you're comfortable (or willing to get comfortable) with Zoom, we'd like to have a "tech mod" in each panel to watch the text chat, gather raised hands, etc. and pass that information to the rest of the mods. You'll be able to pick panels you wanted to attend anyway. If you help out at 4 or more panels, we'll refund your reg or credit it toward next year.

We will also be running a consuite channel, open during convention hours (or as long as we have someone to host it) as a place to hang out and chat with other fans. It should be pretty mellow. You don't even have to make cucumber sandwiches (unless you want to).

If either of these appeal to you, please email volunteer@escapadecon.net.

The Escapade Vid Show will be live-streaming this year on Vimeo, then will be available to re-watch at your convenience. We want everyone, including festivids participants (https://festivids.dreamwidth.org/) to submit vids to the Escapade vid show. We are open for vid submissions through February 10. It will be a simpler process (no FTP). Check out the details here: https://escapadecon.net/vid-show/submit-vid/ and email vids@escapadecon.net if you have questions.

The Panel Ballot is open for voting through February 1. We received almost 100 suggestions, so this is your chance to let us know what you'd like to see on the schedule. If you think there's still something missing, you can submit a write-in panel suggestion. Go here to vote: https://escapadecon.net/panels/panel-ballot/ You can come back and update your choices until the voting closes on February 1.
