[OPEN-ILS-DOCUMENTATION] DIG Hackfest Questions

[Yamil Suarez]

Karen,

I set up a test stream this morning for my own testing purposes. In  
the past I had attended streams, but this is my first time creating  
one. Here is what I can asses so far...

- When someone first connects to the stream they will be shown a 30  
second commercial, and then the live stream will kick in. There will  
also be Youtube style "see-thru" footer ads occasionally while the  
stream is running. For the record,  it appears that to remove the adds  
we would have to pay $99 a month.

- If viewers want to chat with us, they will have to create a ustream  
login right before they can post to the chat room dedicated to my  
ustream channel's "show/broadcast".

Btw, my laptop's microphone might not work so well in a large  
conference room. I can try to do another test in a much larger space,  
but I might not have the time before the conference. I might be able  
to try it out in a medium sized room.

Email me directly if you want to try out the live stream I am running  
today so you can see the service for yourself.

Let me know what you guys think,
Yamil
