For testing players while the conference streams are down there is a test loop available under the following URLs (depending on the client): [http://de.cast.tclers.tk/testloop.ogg] [http://de.cast.tclers.tk/testloop.ogg.m3u] ---- All listeners are invited to log into the [Tcl'ers Chat] for coordination and for asking questions to the speakers at the conference. There will be people in the conference room who are logged into the chat and can proxy between remote listeners and the speaker. If you want to watch the slides while listening to the audio, look at the [Conference Slides] Page. ---- '''Show yourself on [People Listening to the Eleventh Annual Tcl/Tk Conference]''' ---- ''[escargo] 13 Oct 2004'' - Thanks. I was able to tune in, but useing ogg at least the volume was very low; any chance of increasing pickup gain? At what time were you in? Towards the end of the day the volume was OK for most of us. ''[escargo]'' - It was around 11:30 a.m., CDT. ---- [sheila], 10 Oct 2004: Will audio files be archived? [rmax]: Yes, we will archive them at several places for redundancy and plan to make them available after the conference. So please don't open a second stream to run your own archive, as the number of slots for listeners on the servers is limited. [ak]: Just did a recording of the testloop for 15 minutes as a yard stick. That was 3.75 megs. With 7 hour-days the 3 days come in at a bit less than half a CD (314.67 MB). And even recording through the 1 hour noon-break just brings us to ca. 356 MB. Still manageable. [sheila]: thanks guys. Perhaps someone can seed a bit torrent? Once I get home I can start my torrent client and leave it running. ---- '''Thanks...''' * to [SuSE] for sponsoring part of [Reinhard Max]'s time for setting up and running this, * to [Jacob Levy] and the other owners of mod3.net for sponsoring bandwith, * to [ActiveState] for sponsoring bandwidth, * and to [Steve Redler IV] for providing the hardware that sends the upstream from the conference hotel. ---- '''Schedule in CET''' ''Thursday'' * 1600-1700 CET Tcl and Sql-lite * 1730-1900 CET Tcl and Friends * 2030-2230 CET Working with GUI * 2300-2400 CET Works-in-Progess ---- [[ [Category Community] ]]
