Hi Smalltalkers, If it is worth to do it and someone give me an introduction to management of live-streaming, I can be in charge of that.
Live streaming needs serious internet infrastructure... (just imagine 100 people watching at the same time). Than there is the software side... I am sure that last year, citilab didn't set this up in a week :-) Marcus -- Marcus Denker -- denker@acm.org http://www.marcusdenker.de

If you want to host the streaming yourself, that's true. However, there are free broadcast services where all you need is a webcam, somewhat decent upload speed, and a web browser with Flash. It's really easy to use, and the streaming to users happens off someone else's web server. E.g. at Squeakfest in L.A. they used justin.tv, and there was almost no setup at all: http://www.justin.tv/squeakland - Bert -

Yup, check out www.ustream.tv, you can even stream from a cellphone :) 2011/8/16 Bert Freudenberg <bert@freudenbergs.de>

I'll note this: unless you have a good audio pickup, that can be pretty rough :) On Aug 16, 2011, at 6:22 AM, Bert Freudenberg wrote:

And it requires the presentation material to be available before, so the camera can zoom onto the presenter. Unless the presentation has been rehearsed with the cameraperson, switching between presenter and presentation is to be avoided. Stephan On 16 aug 2011, at 13:44, James Robertson wrote:

Dear Juraj, your help with videoing the talks will be useful. I must agree with Marcus - to set up live streaming at this point would require someone with strong background in it, I think. We are set up to video the talks, and have internet, but all beyond that would be to do. Yours faithfully Niall Ross Marcus Denker wrote:

If someone does decide to attempt ustream (or something similar), could you guys announce it on the list? Thanks, On Aug 16, 2011, at 9:48 AM, Niall Ross wrote:
