World's First Large-Scale Ogg Theora Stream

Ur@eus writes "The GNOME European Users and Developers conference is currently underway in Kristansand, Norway. The whole conference is available live online as an Ogg Theora stream (the videos of the talks are also archived). This is very exciting as it is a proof of concept that it is possible to do high quality streaming using a fully free format today. The stream is done using the Fluendo streaming server software which will be released under the GPL in a few months. You find information on how to view the streams at the GUADEC streaming website."

Good! My representative couldn't make it there

That's really interesting to see. I'm in Norway, and I've been writing my representatives in the Norwegian parliament "Stortinget" to get them too attend this conference. It is not only about GNOME, mind you, tomorrow, there are a bunch of politicians there, from the starting keynote, then about software patents, EU policies, and finally a big keynote by Dr Edgar Villanueva, our friend from Peru.

Unfortunately, the guy who was closest to getting there was stuck at his office, in spite of Kristiansand being his hometown.

That's too bad, but now I can actually try to have them look at the stream instead, and even failing that, there's the archive.
