FSCONS 2011 Streaming
During FSCONS we will have a video stream hosted by giss.
The main idea is streaming the keynotes and some selected talks, although we'd try to spice this with other content.
The channel with the stream will be http://giss.tv:8000/fscons.ogg.
Contents
Seeing the stream
In general any program able to show ogg streams coming from an http server can be used. During the tests we used mplayer and kaffeine, although other programs like vlc and a recent version of firefox can work too. You can also try checking the giss.tv interface

Random Interviews
Here we will do random interviews to the fscons staff, participants and speakers to know a bit more about them. You can share questions you'd like asked with us in the fscons stream irc channel. It will also work as some short of videobooth where people can come and share thoughts out to the world.
Technical details
The streaming format
We'll stream an Ogg theora with vorbis sound through an http channel. The resolution and framerate of the video will be adapted according to the tests made and the laptop's power.
The streaming program
We'll use gst-launch (part of gstreamer) to capture and send the stream to an icecast2 server provided by giss.tv. For now a properly adapted version of this line will be used:
