[ubuntu-uk] Streaming video on variable bandwidth connection?
Hey guys, Can I pick your brains please. :) I'm trying to work out what technology to use; Situation: Mobile Linux computer connected via 3G/GPRS to internet. The computer is likely to encounter fluctuating connectivity where it connectivity drops between low GPRS signal, full HDPSA signal and completely offline. Objective: I'm trying to find a technology to stream [live] video from a V4L2 device to 'the internet' over the able connection. The connection only needs to be one way. Caveat: Ideally I need to work out something that makes a 'best effort' judgement based on the amount/quality of bandwidth available and and streams the best picture it can. Eg. Where loads of bandwidth is available, there is a nice picture and where there isn't, there isn't a nice picture, but there isn't nothing. Does anything like this exist? Ideally something I can pull the video out in something resembling a sane format would be cool. Bonus points if it's easily scriptable...

[ubuntu-uk] Local Council Meeting
does anybody recall the discussion about contacting your local council members about ubuntu a while back? Well I just got invited to a meeting to discuss this with David Lloyd! I would be grateful if one or two others accompanied me to this meeting as I am not the most experienced linux user out there. for those who do not recall the discussion it was about persuading local governments to switch to linux to save money in the latest budget cuts. for those who are interested please email me off-list for those who are not sure if they can go, the meeting is at the county hall, at 4.30 http://goo.gl/maps/r7sr Jacob Mansfield Programmer -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
