That was today, right? Seems to have fizzled a bit, I don't see any
other PLUG-gers here.

That's the plan for next Tuesday 2013-06-11, usual 6:30pm time. Let's do
an inventory then continue on with some AV work.

Jason and Leon - you've been poking the plugav1-mix host setup, dvswitch,
ffmpeg, scripts etc. Maybe we can get that packaged and reproducible.

I've got a preseeded USB installer that might help for some or all of
the laptops.

Sanity check monitoring of several kinds would be really handy, there's
a lot of ways to tackle that and it's really the immediate trigger for
us taking the time out next week to poke the system - our recording
stopped and we didn't notice. The output DV file wasn't growing, disc
space wasn't going down, etc.

Sanity checking the live stream would be good - is oggfwd running?
sending traffic? is the live stream available? is the audio SNR ratio
in sane bounds - audio present, not silent, not staticy or daleky? If
something fails, can we trigger a tally-light style warning?

Nick.
