My flight lands in Philadelphia Sunday at 12:35 PM.
Anyone want to spit an Uber/Lyft to the Holiday Inn then the venue?

Bring the streamer...

I'm waiting to hear if Mike Muhler is leaving NJ for SELEM on tuesday. If so I'll stay with him for 1-2 days.

Re: streaming - I am definitely going to try to get some kind of broadcasts going this year. Last year we were very bandwidth constrained, and latency was too inconsistent to be able to keep a stable stream going. Brad has done some upgrades and we should have a lot more bandwidth this year.

I am bringing more network gear than I did last year too; we will have an isolated wired network with WAN access which we can use for video distribution among ourselves, outbound streams, artnet/etherdreams, whatever. It will also have its own MIMO wifi6 access point so those of you with devices in your consoles that communicate amongst themselves via wifi should get better performance too.

I have a machine that can crush some encoding/compositing, plenty of disk space for recordings, a local nginx RTMP relay so we can exchange streams with each other, and means to distribute streams publicly or privately on the internet....but I have very little in the way of video capture hardware or cameras. Those of you who normally bring cameras and means to get the video feed onto a computer - please do so again! You can send me data via NDI, RTMP, or a directly attached USB (A or C) or thunderbolt capture device. I have another couple older thinkpads (my former laser laptops, loaded W530s) which can't handle compositing/multi-encoding of a master broadcast, but can do fine as single camera-to-NDI or camera-to-RTMP sources.

And in a totally different direction, I am bringing a whitelight ArKr (the Coherent CR-4 that followed me home last year) and a 1/4"-20 optical breadboard to stick all the fun stuff on, but I am short a bit of hardware. If anyone has some MM-1s (even better with mirrors on them) that you could bring, that would be awesome; I have no idea where my box of them has run off to. Even better if you want to bring any that I could buy from you

I have a couple scanners to try to stick on there, PCAOM and all of its bits, and a handful of misc mounting hardware. If anyone has a junk box of 1/4"-20 compatible mounts/accessories, some extra options might be nice to have too.

Can't wait to see you all in a couple days!

I have a box of mounts, some diode modules, and other do-dads I'll bring along. I'm sure I'm not going to use them. I'm not sure all what's in there, but I'll bring it along.

Hi All,
This is Mary Keefe, Ed Keefe's wife. I'm planning to come to SELEM for a couple of days this week, Monday - Wednesday range. I feel like I know many of you due to Ed's stories from SELEMs in the past but am really looking forward to meeting people face to face. Lasers were one of his great passions and he really enjoyed talking through ideas and designs with everyone.

I'm bringing some of Ed's things along and Buffo and DZ have kindly provided some space and guidance. If there is anything Ed had that people would like me to bring, please let me know. (As I don't know what half of the things he had are, I will do my best to locate them!)

Take care and safe travels all.

Mary,
I am very sorry for your loss. Ed was an amazing person. His sense of humor was second to none!
I am (as well as many, if not all of us) looking forward to meeting you.

Sweet, many thanks!! I have rounded up a good amount of stuff, so assuming the coherent wants to cooperate we should have a whitelight gas "projector" to play with. If I can track down a ~50% reflective mirror beam splitter there are plenty of parts to do 2 scan heads. I have the monster feeder with me too which I think can reach either of the main rooms from the electrical room.

Someone mentioned lights; I have my LEDS and controller for the Club.

I'm here, where is everybody?

Hi all
Enjoy the dome I have left DZ and Adam to manage it for the last couple of days.

I will be going home after work, and have packed the RV with everything I am taking. I have a wet band saw for cutting glass if anyone is interested in using it while I am there let me know and I will bring it along.

Best
M
