RIPE 44 Meeting

Webcasting Trials

The RIPE NCC conducted technical webcasting trials (audio and video) of certain sessions during RIPE 44 scheduled in the Grand Ballroom of the Krasnapolsky Hotel.

This includes the EOF, Routing WG, LIR WG, IPv6 WG, EIX WG, DB WG and the Plenary session.

Please note that live webcasting was available Tuesday 28 January. Monday's (27 January) EOF sessions has been recorded.

These webcastings are a technical trials only and the broadcasts should not be regarded as an official implementation of a webcasting service.

The machine 'webcast-rm.ripe.net' was setup for our RealMedia test for RIPE 44 in January. Since then, the machine has been turned off, and we are not relaying the webcasts through this machine.

RIPE45 and RIPE46 utilised Windows Media for the webcast, and the public access machine of 'webcast.ripe.net' is still up and running.

Attendees wishing to view the trials will need to have Real Player installed.

If you are unable to connect to webcast-rm.ripe.net, this might be the result of technical difficulties. Please check back later.

To make this a successful test, we ask that participants at the sessions use microphones at all times and, when approaching a microphone to make a statement, to state their names clearly.

We also ask the RIPE Working Group Chairs of these sessions to make an announcement to the session attendees that the session will be experimentally webcast.

We welcome your feedback on these trials. Please send your comments to: <ripecast@ripe.net>.
