Dear Mirror-Admin,
we are looking for servers around the world for the streaming video
service of this years DebConf7 in Edinburgh, where we will (try to) provide
live streaming of the Talks, Workshops and probably various other
occurences. For this we need your help, to have enough bandwidth
available, as we do not know yet how many people will use this
service, even if it's the second time we do live streaming from a Debian
Conference :-)
We will use icecast2 for the streaming, using ogg theora as codec,
streaming in low resolution (but higher than last year probably), and will
provide a suitable configuration for Debian systems (packages for etch (and
maybe sarge) plus config files/help), to make providing a streaming mirror as
easy as possible. The needed information will be mailed to all participating
mirror admins, as soon as we have a final, working and tested configuration
available. (Which is expected sometime next week.)
The technical setup will look similar to the following:
