aKademy streaming live OGGs
===========================

   The aKademy Team  is excited to announce a set of live audio and 
video streams covering the  KDE Community World Summit 2004
[http://conference2004.kde.org/], code-named "aKademy", taking  place in
Ludwigsburg, Germany from August 21st to 29th. Those who  cannot attend
in person can now watch or listen to what is going on  over the
Internet, thanks to Fluendo [http://www.fluendo.com/],  a
GStreamer-based streaming media company. Read on for full details.

     Tom Chance, KDE Press Officer commented that "these streams show
that free software  can now let people from around the world watch a
large community event,  bringing a conference for hundreds of people
over the Internet".

     Anyone with an Internet connection and a stream-capable video
player like HelixPlayer 1.0
[https://player.helixcommunity.org/2004/unix/] can use the  streams. The
video stream, thanks to bandwidth from the hosts the Filmakademie, can
handle 100 users, and broadcasts as an OGG stream encoded with
Theora/Vorbis, whilst the audio stream can handle 200 users and
broadcasts as an OGG Vorbis stream. Archives of talks  will be put
online shortly after they finish, for those who miss  the live streams.
Details for the streams can be found on the aKademy web site at:
