Streaming media server for Fedora Talk
We need to set up an appropriate media streaming server for Fedora Talk for streaming conference calls, allowing us to make them more open and transparent for Fedora contributors to listen in, for recordings to be published to a server for download and/or streaming, and so forth. Clint Savage (herlo) has used icecast in the past at a FUDCon, I believe. Thomas Vander Stichele (thomasvs) works directly on the flumotion system. My cursory reading (and limited understanding) tell me that icecast might be easier to set up, and it does support Ogg Vorbis audio although its site might be a little out of date. The way I understand it, flumotion is a more robust and future-capable server system, based on Python and GStreamer. Both are worthy free software projects and no slight is intended toward either. I'm primarily concerned that those of us working on the FAD for Fedora Talk, our VoIP system, have *something* off the ground (or at least well understood) by the time of the FAD, October 23-25. In yesterday's meeting, we discussed and generally agreed that we should go for whatever's easiest now, with the understanding that we might replace that with an expanded solution in the short to medium term. I'm cc'ing Clint and Thomas to ask for any helpful advice on setting up one or the other. We're not interested in a dogfight of products, just choosing what will get us off the ground quickly. Our initial needs are simply to stream and record audio to listeners in an Ogg Vorbis format, but in the future we will likely want to stream video and/or provide other functionality like live presentations. -- Paul W.

Paul, I do not know anything about the second option you named, however, Icecast allows multiple streams, which might be useful. Further, almost anyone's client should play ogg vorbis, as you said, and IceCast is rather trivial to set up. It also allows for a pre-stream item to be played, which could incorporate a legal notice, stating that the content can be freely distributed, etc. Regards, Tristan -- Tristan Santore BSc MBCS TS4523-RIPE Network and Infrastructure Operations InterNexusConnect Mobile +44-78-55069812 tristan.sant...@internexusconnect.net Thawte Notary For Fedora related issues, please email me at: tsant...@fedoraproject.org smime.p7s Description: S/MIME Cryptographic Signature ___ Fedora-infrastructure-list mailing list Fedora-infrastructure-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-infrastructure-list

[CHANGE REQUEST] Open freemedia form for October
I'd like to request approval (on behalf of Susmit) to do the following (As outlined in the FreeMedia Infrastructure SOP): cd /puppet/modules/freemedia/files cp FreeMedia-form.html.orig FreeMedia-form.html git commit -a -m 'opening freemedia form for month `date +%B`' git push And a few days later, cd /puppet/modules/freemedia/files cp FreeMedia-close.html Freemedia-form.html git commit -a -m 'closing freemedia form for month `date +%B`' git push This is a routine activity normally done on the beginning of the month for a few days to allow individuals to submit requests to the freemedia project.
