zoomerang

Zoomerang looks through your Google Calendar for upcoming telecons that you want to record. Then it posts the recording to a private podcast that your device is subscribed to.

Why? Because sleep is important and Australia's time zone sucks.

Part I: The Scheduler

The Scheduler (scheduler.py) looks through my Google Calendar for upcoming meetings that I want to record (by setting 'Zoomerang <MEETING_ID>' as the location), then schedules a cron job to record that meeting.

It's a good idea to run the Scheduler each half hour to catch last minute meeting invitations. There's a script in scripts/zoomerangscheduler that will do that:

cp scripts/zoomerangscheduler /etc/cron.d/
chmod 600 /etc/cron.d/zoomerangscheduler
chown root:root /etc/cron.d/zoomerangscheduler
touch /etc/cron.d/
sudo service cron restart

Part II: Zoomerang

Zoomerang (zoomerang.py) actually does the work. It will record a specified meeting (e.g., a Zoom or regular teleconference call), and then post the recording to a private Podcast that my phone checks daily for updates.

Recording options

Your meeting doesn't have to be run through Zoom. It could be a regular telecon with some meeting ID number. To specify a non-Zoom meeting, you can give the conference phone number in your Calendar location:

  • Zoomerang <MEETING_ID> --phone-number [PHONE_NUMBER]

Any international number is allowed as long as you specify it in a sensible format. You can also specify how long you expect the meeting to run (in minutes):

  • Zoomerang <MEETING_ID> --duration 30

The default is 60 minutes.
