February 23 - 24 from Brussels, Belgium

FOSDEM '08

Free and Open Source Software Developers' European Meeting

Linux-Magazine is broadcasting the main conference track of FOSDEM '08 live on the Internet. Participation in the live stream from FOSDEM '08 is free.

Streaming starts Saturday, February 23, 10:00 AM (CET)

We will be using the open source Ogg/Theora codec to stream the video. The easiest way to handle this is with a Java applet for your browser to play the stream. This approach is browser, and platform-independent, no matter whether you use Linux, Windows, or MacOS.

If you are experiencing difficulty with the Java applet, or prefer not to enable Java in your browser for security reasons, you can try the following alternatives:

  • Streaming with the embedded RealPlayer (for Linux, Windows, and MacOS)
  • Streaming with the embedded MPlayer (for Linux)
  • Streaming with the embedded Windows Media Player (for Windows)
