Sorry, I was on tour, and coudln't get back there.
So, there is a github concerning video-decorum, which is using VSL:
https://github.com/AMMD/ThingFishVideoDecorum

Then, we'll be using the very same setup as Sebkha-Chott for audio
production, and will use QLC for Lightning control, as well as
kvGhislame for main control:

Unfortunately, we don't have time to present much by now. Hope I will
have more time soon.
