<h1><u>The Fourteenth Annual 26 Hour New Years Eve Show</u></h1>
|
|
<h2>Welcome every <a href="https://www.timeanddate.com/counters/multicountdown.html">TimeZone</a>!</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<em>If you keep talking, we'll keep recording.</em>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>For those who don't know, on New Years Eve 2025-12-31 10:00 UTC (5:00 AM EST), we will have a recording going on the HPR Mumble server for anyone to come on and say "Happy New Years" and talk about whatever they want.
|
|
We will leave the recording going until at least 2026-01-01 12:00 UTC (7:00 AM EST), and keep recording until the conversation stops.</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
So please stop in. Say "Hi" and maybe join in the conversation with other HPR listeners and contributors. It's always a good time!!<br />

<h2>History</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>Suggested by <a href="https://hackerpublicradio.org/correspondents/0128.html">pokey</a> in 2011.
|
|
As podcasting tends to be a one way conversation, he thought it would be nice to get all the FLOSS, Linux, Free Culture, podcasters and Listeners in one place to get together and chat in person.
|
|
Initially it was planned to be just a few hours, but we kept missing members from other parts of the world.
|
|
The show was extended to welcome ever time zone to the New Year, which actually turns out to be <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_UTC_offsets">38 Timezones</a>, over 26 Hours.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>So we will record for at least 26 Hours, but will keep the recording going for an "After Show".
|
|
Some years the after show has been even longer than the show itself.
|
|
While this is on the HPR Site, it is entirely a community initiative which is supported heavily by the fine folks over at the <a href="https://linuxlugcast.com/">LinuxLugCast</a>, with the Mumble Server been provided by <a href="https://hackerpublicradio.org/correspondents/0228.html">Delwin</a>.</p>

<h2>Ground Rules</h2>
|
|
<h3>Use Push to Talk, and a Headset</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>With so many people on the chat, you must use push to talk.
|
|
You also need to use a Headset so the audio of the room is not fed back.
|
|
If there is a problem with your setup, then please drop and listen to the stream.
|
|
Trying to correct poor audio in post is a lot of work, that someone else will have to do.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Be Polite</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>When you enter the room please do not interrupt ongoing conversations.
|
|
Wait for a pause in the conversation and say Hi.
|
|
It's quite common for people you might not know to join as they wish to speak with other people in the room.
|
|
They may have been waiting all year for the chance to meet, so please give people the space to have these conversations.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Do not announce the Time Zones</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>As there are so <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_zone">many Time Zones</a> there is no need to interrupt the conversation to announce every one.
|
|
If you are joining from a time zone that is currently switching to the New Year, then please wait for a pause and wish people Happy New Year.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Don't Fill Dead Air</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>This is a relaxed meet-up, and not a traditional "Radio Broadcast".
|
|
If there are no conversations going on at a given time, don't feel the need to "fill dead air".
|
|
Before the recording is posted as a podcast the <a href="https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/truncate_silence.html">silences will be truncated</a>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Do not monopolise the conversation</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>Please be mindful that you (or your beverage of choice) may be speaking too much ;-).</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>You are a Guest</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>Be respectful, and remember that attendance on the New Year Show does not <a href="https://hub.hackerpublicradio.org/calendar.php">constitute a show</a>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>CC-BY-SA</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>The recording will be released as a podcast on HPR under a <a rel="license" href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/"> Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-SA 4.0)</a> license.
|
|
The recordings will be released mid year, when there is a lull in submissions.</p>
