+
+If you haven't noticed, CodeRefinery livestreams it's workshops (see
+refs below).  We can reach a virtually unlimited number of people and
+easily make recordings for later, yet our co-teaching and Collab notes
+system still makes a workshop that feels interactive and fun to
+attend.  **Does anyone want to learn how to do this yourselves?**
+
+## A workshop idea
+
+Richard Darst has been doing most of the streaming and would like to
+teach others.  Richard can host people in Helsinki, Finland for some
+workshop, or if people fund travel somewhere else we can host it
+there.  A workshop would include:
+
+- Basic streaming theory
+- Setting up [OBS-Studio](https://obsproject.com/) for streaming
+- Recording and publishing videos rapidly (by the same night, every
+  time).
+- How to make a livestream course lively (co-teaching, Collab Notes,
+  lesson design, screenshare style)
+- Time to test and practice all of the above.
+- Improving our documentation
+
+Most of the above is in theory documented in the [CodeRefinery
+manuals](https://coderefinery.github.io/manuals/), but reading is hard
+and seeing by example with mentoring is easy.
+
+An ideal host would be an EU or regional computing competence center,
+open science organization, or someone interested in teaching innovation,
+who can host a public workshop, and be able to help in advertising the
+workshop to other interested parties.
+
+Contact us at [email protected] or [email protected], or via the
+[CodeRefinery chat](https://coderefinery.github.io/manuals/chat/).
