I am hugely grateful that we have reliable
streaming this year, thanks
to a lot of volunteer effort. Perhaps we can defer the ideological
nitpicking and just share that appreciation. I would be grateful even
if it required a Windows-only plugin, which Flash is not.
I've been working from a non-x86 system the past couple of days. Even
if I wanted to install the proprietary flash software I couldn't.
Since it's perfectly possible to set up streams that don't rely on
Flash and can be viewed with open source media players like VLC, I do
believe we should aim to do that next year.
The time delayed uploaded files worked pretty
well last year, and I
was able to watch all the presentations I was interested in. This
year I wasn't able to watch a single one.
Last year's system of encoding the videos to OGG overnight and
uploading them to Commons the next afternoon was pretty awesome;
unfortunately we won't be doing that this year, but the organization
have told me (on wikimania-l) that they will obtain the OGGs from the
video company on DVD(s), and I have asked them to mail that/those
DVD(s) to our datacenter so I can import all videos to Commons when
they arrive.
