Hi Jaume,

We have some talks on 31.8 / 1.9.
http://metalab.at/wiki/WirNennenEs30

one is by me on topic "semantic desktop", others by Grenzfurthner and
Magnus Wurzer, perhaps more.
two ideas, independent of each other:
    

Sound interesting, I use to research about those issues too, so I'll
join anyway the discussion :-)

  
A:
are you interested in recording one of them, to test the equipment?

record them, store, host them longer (or upload on google|youtube
video)
    

mmm, I'm not a video producer, I really use to work with people that
know about it. I have no cameras. I work in the streaming side only. So,
for the stable plato in metalab, the first is setup the streambox, and
afterwards, we can seat and thing about the possibilities for a good
production and other people participation.
  
ok, so recording is out of question for now.



  
B:
I have some friends in Kaiserslautern, who may want to follow the
event  via video-stream,
but we had only mediocre results so far using Skype or other
video-conferencing tools to connect parties,
is icecast a solution here?
    

No, Icecast (http://icecast.org) is an streaming server. People
broadcast againts icecast server, and listeners connects to that server.
Nothing about video conferencing (2 ways communication), this is totally
another issue
  
ok, but at least we have some connection.

we could enhance a back-link using chat or something else

  
this would mean live-streaming, a different issue that recording, but
also interesting in this setup.

(connecting events could look like this, example from roböxotica):

Yes this video looks a biy messy, I'm talking about something like this:
  
that looks better.

if we cast the talks by Grenz, Magnus and me, we may even have some listeners ;-)

so, I am in Vienna only briefly before the event, we should organize this via e-mail and the wikipage,
could you add some note about this on the wiki page?  "we plan to do an icecast stream using software X which requires client Y, probably on network Z. nothing decided yet, may work or not.... etc"
http://metalab.at/wiki/WirNennenEs30

I would start it small and then increase - so first goal would be to stream one of the talks, and then hope to stream more. As my talk is first, we should try that. if it works and doesn't need much attention, we could stream the rest also.


best
Leo

i think a simple IP Webcam is better, 
    
        
Better? mmm, in my opinion is radically not better.
The webcam streams is that kind of streams that nobody see because of 
the bad quality. From my experience, perople don't follow to much video 
streams coz molst of them are very bad video quality, bad lights in the 
stage and impossible to understand the audio.
What I'm porposing is not  to do stream, this is technically, really 
easy. What I propose i to do a channel, and that requires audience.
People folow streams if they are sexy en off, in quality of contents, 
and in quality of the emission (this is just my experience last years)

cheaper and
needs  less energergy than a PC ;)

Hi all,
about the idea to do regular video transmissions
from metalab
http://metalab.at/wiki/MetalabTV

To start it is needed a computer, let's call it,
streambox.
I asked some people if there is any computer
available in metalab for this.
The main work that the computer should do is live
encoding using 
ffmpeg2theora or Puredata patches. I'm not sure at
this moment about 
minimal requeriments for the streambox, but maybe
could be a  2,4 Ghz 
CPU / 512 RAM

That's all by the moment
