Should use visuals / source files from design/tickets#62
This week, my priority is finishing up the Fedora wallpaper, but this will be on my list of to-dos next week to get the visual done, so we can get this completed by the Flock retrospective meeting on the 15th.
@t0xic0der, @jflory7 mentioned you may have a script that could allow us to get a csv file/written list of all the presenters and their talks?
Following today's Design Team meeting (meeting notes), I pinged @t0xic0der on Matrix about the Flock 2026 talk data from Pretalx.
Key updates:
@madelinepeck confirmed she will start working on this next week after finishing the wallpaper work, aiming to have it done by the Flock retrospective on July 15th.
Assisted-by: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context)
Updated the shared Google Drive folder above ^
Here are the CSV files for each day, I think the script may have shifted them off by a day
As well as the original generator file
@jflory7 wrote in #69 (comment):
@jflory7 @t0xic0der It appears the CSV files here are for Flock 2025 instead of 2026 and has resulted in the thumbnails being generated with incorrect talk names. Would we be able to get the CSVs for 2026?
Downloaded the schedule page and into Gemini to get a list of the real data - will reupload the correct ones by tomorrows meeting fingers crossed

Reuploaded to the google drive folder with the correct talk info!
Gemini came through with organizing the data really easily!
@madelinepeck I apologize for the stupid mixup. I seemed to have uploaded the 2025 ones on the 2026 folder and vice versa. While I did correct that on the 2026 folder, big props for your resourcefulness with Google Gemini. Let me know if more info is needed.
Also, nice work with the generated thumbnails - Once @jflory7 provides the YouTube access is provided to @sdglitched, he can take it from there to upload the thumbnails as well as the descriptions accordingly. Now to worry about the missing footages...
On the second look, could you please (preferably losslessly) compress these thumbnails to fit under 2 MiB each? I just noticed that each of these thumbnails are approximately 20 MiB big and given the YouTube's image size limit, these simply won't work.

Done ✅
@t0xic0der wrote in #69 (comment):
Give
pngquanta try. This is my workflow step when I process raw / high-quality sources into lossy PNGs. You can useoptipngfor lossless compression, but you will usually only get marginal results, maybe a few MBs in savings but not the amount of decreased file size as one would expect.Let me know if that works @t0xic0der!
Hey @madelinepeck, @t0xic0der is a bit busy with the Forge situation, and I'm currently handling the upload part.
Could you please provide me with the compressed versions of the thumbnails?
Currently, I've added all the Titles and Descriptions for the 34 videos (excluding the 3rd Day of Topaz). Once the thumbnails are ready, I will upload them as well.
@sdglitched wrote in #69 (comment):
Okay! I just installed pngquant and will give that a try!
Just wanted to check if it's required for thumbnails in the future to work for mobile uploads. I was able to compress them under 4mb and will keep compressing to get them under 2mb, but I know that YouTube allows bigger size thumbnails if they're uploaded on desktop vs mobile.
Hey @madelinepeck, I'm so sorry for putting you on a wild goose chase! It turns out @t0xic0der and I are a bit out of the loop with YouTube's current limits.
You're spot on about the desktop uploads. I just gave the original 19MB file a try on my end, and it went right through:

Definitely don't spend any more of your time compressing these. I'll just go ahead and upload the original versions we already have.
Hi,
Is this everything you need for this ticket or is there something else I'm missing?
@niknikovsky, I feel nothing more is needed in this ticket. We have all the thumbnails with us now (even the ones whose footage is not with us yet).
