[PD] [Fwd: [v2v] stream started...]

[Rama]

hi pd'ers, here's some info about an independent media meeting around
G8's meeting @ Evian these days.

We (a team from Barcelona) will get to Geneva by van tomorrow and will
try to run an mp3 streaming (would love ogg, though) using pd with a
patch to mix incoming streams, plus ogg tracks on hd, plus soundcard
input..

there will also be some "Real" streamings, but it's clear we need free
software asap.. anyone could achieve interesting results with
pd/pidip/ffmpeg?

there are projects from local radios emitting RF to pick us from the net
and put in the air.

anybody willing to do their stuff in here or be around and help
check/redistribute is very welcome 

we are hoping to have spanish web+ resources about pd, we'll tell more
when we have news.

what about a kind of webapp to share patches, abstractions, etc?
if someone knows about such a piece of software it would be really
interesing. if not we can probably work it out.

we will be publishing information @ http://barcelona.indymedia.org
write back for any need

see you around!

GENEVA 03 livestream
http://www.geneva03.org/static/live.ram


GENEVA03 livestream is a temporary autonomous TV project broadcasting
during the days around the G-8 summit in Evian. It will cover the mass
protests and blockades in the area of the Lac Leman in Switzerland.

 From May 29 to June 3, a continuous livecast will be streamed on the
internet and picked up and redistributed by local and international
broadcasters, as well as projected in streets, bars and theatres
around the globe.

GENEVA03 livestream presents live reports from the rallies and
manifestations, protests and blockades as well as studio debates and
talk shows, movies and meetings, parties, vj- and dj-sessions and
concerts.

The GENEVA03 livestream studio is hosted in the cultural center
l'usine in the very center of Geneva <http://www.usine.ch>. The video
stream produced in the theatre will be screened around the clock in
the cinema next door.

In order to cover the protests between Geneva, Lausanne and Anmasse in
real time, media activists will work from the "EVERYONE-IS-AN-EXPERT"
mobile studio van, which - with a self-adjusting bi-directional
satellite dish - will provide a mobile internet connection and
transmit live-footage from the roaming protests.

For GENEVA03 livestream net-activists, indymedia reporters,
independent filmakers and videographers from many different countries
have joined together in order to explore new forms of collaboration in
film and videomaking.

"Long-term we believe that we can assemble a sustainable and scalable
platform for audio-visual materials of a critical and independent
nature", the initiators say. Some days before the G-8 summit they set
up V2V, a video filesharing network.

The idea of V2V is to share video material of a reasonable quality and
to guarantee its availability within the most popular filesharing
networks (edonkey, gnutella, bit torrent) through a network of
dedicated servers that mirror the material until such time as it has
spread widely in the P2P-networks.

Each file is accompanied by metadata in an xml .info file and produced
as an searchable RSS feed for people to integrate into their own sites
and is also published on its own websites. <http://v2v.indymedia.de>

V2V suggests a set of specifications for the encoding with half of the
standard broadcast quality as a compromise between a modest
upload-time and a tolerable resolution for screening, in order to
facilitate the global exchange of images.
<http://v2v.indymedia.de/static/info.shtml#vp3>

V2V began at the end of May 2003 with the participation of half a
dozen servers. In the context of the GENEVA03 livestream the V2V video
sharing network will be tested as a tool for production, distribution
and archiving. Works to be delivered over the V2V system will vary
from quickly edited footage suitable for use as a stock archive to
finished films and documentaries.

The activists are calling groups and individuals to join the V2V
server-network and to contribute footage locally and remotely.
