It's pretty useless to work on it 12 months before. Technically what's needed is to everything to be setted up and testes before the beginning of Wikimania, and this is on-site work. Off-line all you can say is "We need one server for the streaming, x server for the replication, x camera etc..." An other thing, is live streamin that important? I mean as long as sessions are recorded do we really need to have a live streaming? Everybody will be on a different timezone, in my opinion we should plan and prepare a proper file streaming with all the sessions downloadable quickly. And Streaming (file or live) is not a priority in Wikimania organisation -- schiste _______________________________________________ Wikimania-l mailing list [email protected] http://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimania-l
