Is anyone going to be filming rubycon? I would really like to watch
some of the presentations. Furthermore, does anyone have enough spare
bandwidth that they might be able to host these videos in some
decently compressed format?
Hello Carl,
Furthermore, does anyone have enough spare
bandwidth that they might be able to host these videos in some
decently compressed format?
P2P ?

It may be possible to host them on ruby-doc.org. Have to finish up locking down bandwidth, and setting up torrent files for videos and other large files.

I have a digital video camera of my own and am also planning to try to
bring a professional video camera from work. My goal is to get a high
quality video this year. We've tried various things in years past,
but we've always been plagued by technical issues. Maybe this year
will be the year

I would laugh if the videos were taken by the RubyConf
team and they were for sale ending up on p2p.
Just a thought that popped in my head when you
mentioned p2p.

if you do, please do use some bittorrent (or ed2k links for that well).
It will save lots of bandwidth, allow everyone to contribute and make faster downloads.

That's the plan. I don't think the disk space will be an issue, nor bandwidth if it's spread out. Using BitTorrent in place of direct file access will be a better option.
I have to experiment with the EuRuKo videos from 2003. (And with any luck they'll be videos from EuRuKo 2004 videos as well.)

Tips:
The screen is more important than the speaker. Unless you have a
really fancy camera, it won't handle the contrast difference and
you'll get no good video. (The screen will be a bright white square and
the speaker will be dark.)
You'll want to test this before recording real speakers. Try both with
black-on-white and white-on-black slides. Try with both the lights on
and off.
Unfortunately, to get a good angle on the screen, the camera needs to be
very close to the projector. Bring cables to jack into the audio system
or an external mike of some sort to avoid the noise of the projector's
exhaust fan.
Bring lots of tapes or a big external drive because dumping and
compressing digital video on a laptop takes considerable time and space.

Great, Eric. Thanks! I know you went through this frustration last
year, so you know what you're talking about

That being the case, is it possible to try and get plain audio
recordings as well? I mean, shoot for video, but someone else can be
recording audio, which will be better than nothing if the video
doesn't turn out well.
Cheers,

Plus the two two can be muxed (is that the right word?) afterwards if the sound on the video is poor.
I did something like that when trying to clean up the EuRuKo 2003 videos, extracting the audio, filtering it, then rejoining it with the video.

We are going to have my buddy's audio mixing board, a wireless mic, and a
pre-amp. We can run the board into a camera also directly into a laptop to
record directly to MP3. I am gonna try and confirm borrowing a projector,
since my company does not own one itself. So, we will be set this year re:
getting solid recordings of the talks and be able to post things up quickly.
Actually, getting a list of sites before hand that would host these MP3's of
the conference would make it far easier to post quickly.

We can obviously put them on the rubyconf website, though I'm thinking
this is a good bittorrent-only kind of thing.

Please don't 'bittorrent-only' anything. There are those of use who
aren't involved in Bittorrent-anything.

Does anyone have, or know of, snake-simple instructions on how to host large files in a public server, making them available only through bittorrent.
I poked around, and can see how to make a torrent file, and then get that torrent file to a tracker, but I gather from this that the target file is expected to be available form my PC, and only when I run a bittorrent client. I want to serve the files form ruby-doc.org, not my home box.
I expect that I will need to run a tracker on the server hosting the files. Is this what RubyForge does?
This is off-topic for Ruby in general, but handy info as large Ruby-related files become available.
Thanks,
James

Hehe.
And if you're from Australia, is it "meexed"?
(I knew a math grad student from NZ who said that 6 is pronounced "seeks" in Australia, but "sucks" in NZ.)

I'm not really familiar with BT since I don't usually deal with giant
files like that.
But I thought it was a server-side issue, am I wrong? Shouldn't anyone
be able to access a file served vis BT?
