Open Media Webcast?
So it should be fairly obvious by now that I live in GNU/Linux.
And whenever there is a webcast I want to watch which is in
closed format it drives me crazy -- especially if the webcast
is hosted by Sun Microsystems.
And it should be obvious by now, too, that Sun has
become a significant proponent of
F/LOSS and
ODF.
However it would appear we have more work to bring our
communications team "up to speed". Ideal solutions
might be running the
Annodex plugin in Firefox or
simply using VLC.
It would seem that a popular open video webcast approach is
Theora video,
Vorbis audio in an
Ogg container streaming from an
Icecast server.
But I'm completely open to recommendations for best Open Webcast
practices. Ideally you can give me some specific ideas on setting
up an open streaming server which can,
you know, be implemented fairly quickly and easily 
All pointers welcome (PLEASE ADD A COMMENT)!
