[00:24] You can also say why you're here and [00:26] then what you want to get. [00:27] >> I don't know if you can hear me. Okay. [00:29] Okay, hopefully my network doesn't trip [00:31] off. Okay, so I'm Olachu by name and um [00:39] I'm a community manager who has [00:42] experiences when it comes to managing [00:45] communities as well as um writing of [00:49] blogs, newsletters, you find me there. [00:53] And um I decided to join chaos um [00:56] because I I've been seeing the amazing [00:59] work that the organization has been [01:02] doing out there and I also kind of know [01:05] some people who are also like the part a [01:08] part of the community that's Mary [01:10] Blessing and um a German so I decided to [01:15] give it a shot um to join this community [01:18] because I would also love to improve on [01:21] my opensource journey and I'm also just [01:25] contributing as well as um giving back [01:28] to the um society at large. So I think [01:32] that's all about me [01:35] in summary. [01:37] >> That's awesome. Um you're welcome. [01:42] >> Thank you. [01:43] >> Thank you. [01:44] >> And I'm glad you joined the Chaos [01:47] Education today. [01:51] Sorry, I didn't catch that. [01:53] >> Okay, I say I'm glad you joined the [01:55] chaos education today. [01:56] >> Okay, thank you. Thank you. Thank you so [02:00] much. Thank you. [02:01] >> All right. So, um [02:05] I saw your interest in one of the topic. [02:10] >> Yes. Mhm. Yeah. Um communication. [02:14] >> Yes. Communication. [02:18] >> All right. [02:19] Okay. [02:21] Um let me know if you have any question [02:24] at all just [02:26] interact how everything. So um [02:31] >> okay so I mean I've gone through before [02:34] I actually indicated interest I've gone [02:36] through like most of the issues and um [02:40] basically for this question I noticed [02:42] that there are different actions that [02:45] needed I mean have to take um in terms [02:48] of writing scripts as well as creating [02:51] slide deck and um finally the video. So, [02:55] uh, my question would be that because I [02:57] just did like a rough, um, scanning, [03:00] right? Just checking out the, um, [03:03] template for each of these actions. So, [03:07] um, for these creating videos, um, I'm [03:10] guessing there is, um, a background, [03:13] what's it called? A background um, [03:15] design. I've forgotten the word that is [03:17] being used. So I can sort of like would [03:21] I have to be the one to talk for this [03:24] recording video or do I have to like [03:26] source for someone and the editing of [03:30] the video? Should I be the one to also [03:32] like cover that aspect as well? [03:36] >> Okay, that's awesome question. [03:39] >> Okay, that's an awesome question. Right. [03:42] So um [03:45] you don't need to bother about recording [03:47] of the video yourself. We use chaos zoom [03:50] to record and you don't need to bother [03:52] about the editing. I edit right [03:57] just to confirm. Can you hear me? [04:04] Um are you hearing me? [04:11] I need to confirm that too. [04:14] Okay, let me check [04:19] if you can hear me on session. [04:27] Okay, [04:35] just confirm if you can hear me on the [04:38] chat session. [04:41] Okay, [04:44] I guess that's your network. [04:49] Okay, [04:54] >> back to [04:56] see. [04:57] >> Yes, I'm back. Sorry. Um, that's okay. [05:12] Okay, I still can't hear you, [05:16] but I'll check if you're there. [05:22] >> Oh, can you hear me now? Is it better [05:25] now? [05:25] >> Yes, I can. Yes, perfect. [05:28] >> Okay, beautiful. Okay, so I was saying [05:30] that last the last thing I had was when [05:33] you said I don't have to create the [05:34] video. myself that there is a zoom. [05:40] >> Yes, we use chaos zoom for the video [05:45] recording. [05:47] >> Okay. [05:49] >> Then I do the editing. I edit the [05:52] videos. [05:53] >> Oh [05:54] yes. Okay. [05:55] >> But that editing is you know how this is [05:59] how it works. during the recording. Once [06:02] you're done, the first one the create [06:04] the script and then with your script you [06:07] can prepare the slide you will use to [06:09] record the video. Right? [06:11] >> So once this those two are ready then [06:14] you pick a time and a day that you want [06:18] to record the video. So both of us will [06:20] do it together. [06:23] >> Oh okay. Okay. Beautiful. [06:26] >> Yes. So you take your time prepare. [06:28] >> Okay. And you record the video as many [06:32] times as you want. So I'll go through it [06:36] and then look for the one that is this. [06:39] Someone told me today that something [06:41] might not be perfect but can be close to [06:43] perfect. [06:45] >> But we look for the one that is perfect. [06:47] Maybe two of of them that is perfect [06:51] >> and then [06:52] >> yes two of us will look at it review and [06:56] see which one do we prefer to put out [06:58] there for the whole world to see [07:01] >> and we can we I also share with other [07:04] reviewers like I have reviewers like Don [07:07] Foster reviews then math [07:09] >> oh [07:10] >> math okay [07:11] >> yes reviews and then Elizabeth too [07:15] >> okay [07:15] >> so I share with them to a review before [07:18] and confirm that it's okay before we can [07:21] then up upload it. [07:24] >> Yes. [07:25] >> Yes. Yes. So, the recording is not a [07:27] problem at all. [07:28] >> Beautiful. Okay. [07:30] >> I I think that works. It's It's well [07:33] explanatory then cuz I was wondering how [07:36] it works and how it goes. But [07:40] >> I guess now [07:42] >> Yes. It's just like now I I always add a [07:46] slide I mean template here. [07:49] >> You can also look at [07:51] >> I notic I notic as well that there's al [07:54] Yes, that there's always a slide [07:56] template cuz I went through all most of [07:59] the issues that I can open just to see [08:03] which one aligns with my skill set. [08:07] >> Okay. Okay. So this template just use it [08:11] because it's just for this topic right [08:14] just like add anything you need to add [08:17] in there and when when you are done I [08:21] will share it out with and send a PR I [08:24] will add a reviewer to it then they [08:27] review give their comment suggestion if [08:30] they have if it's okay they say yeah [08:32] this is okay and once that is done [08:36] >> yeah [08:38] then it Look at your slide. You also [08:40] have like template for you to like now [08:42] look at your script [08:45] now. Yeah. Update it. You understand? [08:49] So um once those two are are approved [08:54] and ready confirmed then you go ahead [08:56] and record the video. Now you mentioned [09:00] a background. Yes, you mentioned a [09:01] background. I just like optional if [09:04] anybody's interested using the [09:06] background where why they want to while [09:08] recording the video. Right. [09:11] >> Okay. Okay. [09:12] >> Yes. If you feel like okay the [09:14] environment where you it's not okay. You [09:15] know how that works. You want to [09:18] background to use. Yeah. You can just [09:20] pick any of them. [09:22] >> That's why we have the background there. [09:24] Yes. [09:26] >> So that's how it works. [09:28] >> Okay. All right. That's beautiful. I [09:32] think this already helps though. [09:35] >> So, um my Okay. So, I'm guessing that [09:38] when I'm done with this first two, the [09:42] writing script as well as um slide deck, [09:46] I can share that with you first to take [09:49] a look at it before um the recording of [09:53] video comes in next. [09:57] >> Yes. Yes. In fact, if you're done with [09:59] just one, like let's say you register, [10:02] share. Yes. Share with me. [10:04] >> Then I'll send out for reviewers while [10:06] they reviewing then you're working on [10:08] the next one. Once that is ready to [10:11] anyone that just ready, first you share [10:13] then while they're reviewing it, you're [10:15] working on the next one. So that way [10:18] we wrap up once everything is ready. [10:22] >> Okay. All right. That's fine. That's [10:25] that'll be all from my end. Thank you so [10:27] much for answering my questions and [10:30] great work. I mean, I I see your post on [10:32] LinkedIn and it's very inspiring to see [10:36] the good work you're doing in the open [10:38] source industry. [10:41] >> Oh, yes. I love open source. In fact, I [10:45] think my career has been in open source. [10:48] >> Wow, that's really amazing. I think I [10:51] should I should actually interview you. [10:53] I have like a medium blog post where I'm [10:57] trying to just sort of like improve on [10:59] my writing skills and um for other [11:03] people out there who are also like [11:05] looking to transition into the [11:07] opensource industry cuz I know I do have [11:10] like couples of questions from people [11:12] saying oh they trying to pious into [11:15] opensource but they don't know how to  📄 **Full text:** ![[Full Document Contents/Articles/CHAOSS Education WG, April 15, 2026.md|CHAOSS Education WG, April 15, 2026 by YouTube]] ## Highlights - that's all about me in summary. >> That's awesome.
