Blimey that sounds like a golden opportunity for some to really go a bit

If people want to build their own version at home, I'll be there talking
about Kamaelia and showing people how to get started with it. (That's not
everything Kamaelia does by a long shot, but it's one thing it can do well)
As long as you don't redistribute, it's just timeshifting (ala any other PVR).

Redux isn't powered by kamaelia, but it could've been because the Kamaelia 
Macro code was up and running around a year beforehand.

For those who can't wait, this page describes an overview of macro, and has a 
an embedded presentation from OSCON 2006 where I went over the internals.

(No idea why Kamaelia wasn't used for redux really - it was soak tested over 
the course of a year with no restarts other than diskspace issues, but then 
mine is not to reason why :) For those curious, Kamaelia Macro was 
commissioned by Tom Loosemore)

(My only reason for mentioning this is in case anyone wants to build their
own at Mashed, and the fact that we're planning a new beta release / release
candidate for Mashed. Personally I'm planning on using it to write a modern
version of speak and spell using it based on handwriting recognition and
speech synthesis -- if I get a chance :)

[backstage] Cool Accessibilty Hacks and Subtitles using BBC Redux @ Mashed

2008-06-17 Thread Alia Sheikh

Hi everyone!

We are giving a talk called Cool Accessibilty Hacks and Subtitles using 
BBC Redux at Mashed this weekend.
For Mashed we're making an archive of our TV and radio programmes 
available on the web on a system called BBC Redux. You'll find our 
programmes in their native broadcast form (MPEG-2 transport streams or 
.ts files).


Trial accounts on BBC Redux are available from today for Mashed 
attendees. These accounts will be disabled on Friday 20th June and 
re-enabled at Mashed for anyone doing an accessibility hack.


An account can be got by emailing me back at [EMAIL PROTECTED]
(word of warning - I can only approve requests for Mashed attendees)

See http://mashed08.backnetwork.com/event/?articleid=28 for more info:)
