Hi all!
Great to (finally) hear all this good news! I've been asking for
some time where content would be stored, as audio/video/pix/etc. can
chew up disk space quick!
I notice (via netcraft.com) that ocf.festival.com is a Linux box
running Apache with Frontpage and PHP extensions. Some questions:
Can you set me up with an account on festival? I'd also like to get
root access (I assume you have openssh installed) but I can wait til
the fair for that password, unless you'd like help installing any
programs, utilities or servers (which I can do).
What sort of streaming servers are you running? RealAudio is what
David mentioned - so you have something like a RealServer? What
audio/video editing tools will we have locally? (Caveat - I'm not
really a multimedia kind of guy, but if I knew what was available, I
could start acquainting myself with the technology.)
After doing network consulting for several clients during the last
year, I feel I'm quite capable of helping with any
DNS/network/server issues that might spring up. I once again offer
my help.
