Future of Coding

:postal_horn: <!channel> :postal_horn:

We have a new channel — <#C0120A3L30R|>

In this new channel, you can post a two minute video recapping your progress on your FoC project once each week. This will be a fun way for us to keep up on everyone's projects, get inspired, and distill our thinking into a concentrated form.

There's a writeup with more info and recording tips on the website: <https://futureofcoding.org/two-minute-week>

This is a brand new channel and a new mode of interaction for us, so if you have ideas or suggestions for neat things we can do now that this channel exists, drop them in <#CEXED56UR|>.

I'm excited to see all the neat and varied projects we're all building, and follow their progress from week to week. :beers:

Is there a day we should coordinate our posting? Like, every sunday? Or do we post throughout the week?

Oh wait, I see you said any day just once a week.

Hey <@UC2A2ARPT>, this is such a great idea. Do you mind sharing what inspired it and/or what made you set up the new channel?

Never mind… found it in the much more appropriate #random — clearly I’m doing this in the wrong order.

Whenever we do these sorts of "New Community Initiative!" things, there's often a preceeding discussion in <#CEXED56UR|> — here's the relevant one for this new channel: <https://futureofcoding.slack.com/archives/CEXED56UR/p1586759935039000>

Anyone know of a easy2use tool for doing a screen recording with a webcam in the corner of the screen?

OBS is reasonably easy to get the hang of, and there should be a gazillion good tutorials for it since it's the ubiquitous tool of streamers. It will let you visually arrange the different video feeds however you want.

If you have questions about what quality settings to use, shoot me a DM and I'll help you hash it out.
