Here in Mexico, the September 16th it's a patriotic day (Independence Day), it's so dificult organize something for the people in that day. So, we think in do the event in the September 23th. Will be so cool if we can download the sound file for our event. :) On 9/6/06, Judy Okite <judyokite(a)gmail.com> wrote: > Thnx James, > > How do we linkup on skype? your address? and the time. > > Kind Regards, > > > > On 9/6/06, James Purser < purserj(a)k-sit.com> wrote: > > > On Wed, 2006-09-06 at 07:32 +0300, Judy Okite wrote: > > James, > > > > This is great news,so how do we do it from, Kenya? > > > > Kind Regards, > > Well we have a couple of options, if you have access to recording > facilities (Audacity and a cheap mic should be enough), you can record > it yourself.

Way to go James.

We'll do our very best 4 ya! :)) > Would it be possible for you to prerecord an event report and > shoot me a link on the day? Perhaps. We have to focus on the local timetable, and work off that - remembering not to confuse and lose our attendees with 'too much tech' distraction. So we'll see how we go. Having thought live reporting through a bit further, what we can do for most of our 8-hour lab session (4 on 16th, 4 on 17th) is to run a webcam of our SFD gathering, and supply an ftp link for that (- unless SFI can sort an ftp server & accounts for teams to use for pix stream up/down- loading?) With the ftp link we'll supply our local cellph#, so that anyone wanting an interview just needs to ring that for the audio feed - and get interviewees in front of the webcam. That way, you can get your clip directly from us - within the timebands we can go live. We'll strive for something live on SFD nite too :) and keep an eye out for IRC. PS Sorry to hear about Steve Irwin ~ be well with the crocodiles :-/ -- Rik

[Planning-en] Update on SFD On The Air Idea

by James Purser

Okay I know I've been a bit slack in finalising details about this so here we go. As I have been asked to help out with the Sydney event, the Live On The Air Component won't be starting until about 9:30pm Australian Eastern Standard Time. However what I am thinking off is running a music loop interspersed with audio messages from various teams around the world. These would be 1-2 minutes long and would consist of someone from each team introducing themselves and giving a brief rundown of what they are going to be doing. The messages can be in either english or your local language. Once we get to 9:30pm we will then be going live. I will be updating throughout the night with live interviews with teams around the world. A special request to NZers, given the time difference you guys are going to be finished before we go live (unless you're running a SFD rave party :)). Would it be possible for you to prerecord an event report and shoot me a link on the day? Right thats the basics of it. Any suggestions on the above are always welcome. -- James Purser Producer/Presenter - Open Source On The Air A LocalFOSS Production http://www.localfoss.org irc: #localfoss on irc.freenode.net

Russian Version: ---------------------------- Что такое День Свободы Програмного Обеспечения? День Свободы Програмного Обеспечения - это глобальная попытка рассказать людям о возможностях и существовании Свободного ПО с Открытыми Исходными Кодами. Свободное ПО с Открытыми Исходными Кодами можно скачать в Интернет или получить на CD или DVD. Вы можете установить его на любое количество компьютеров, дать друзьям, сделать копии и даже присоединится к его созданию, чтобы сделать его лучше! ---------------------------- Ukrainian Version: ---------------------------- Що таке День Вiльного Програмного Забеспечення? День Вiльного Програмного Забеспечення - це глобальне зусилля щодо iнформування людей про можливостi та iснування ВIльного ПО з Вiдкритими Вихiдними Кодами. ВIльне ПО з Вiдкритими Вихiдними Кодами можна скачати в Iнтернетi чи отримати на CD чи DVD. Ви можете встановити його на будь-яку кiлькiсть компьютерiв, роздiлити з друзями, зробити копiї та навiть приєднатися до його створення, щоб зробити його кращим! ---------------------------- -- Best Regards, Vladimir Kirichenko
