Talks

Requested

• Michael Geist (Canadian Law and Technologist Blogger)
• Keith Packard (X Windows)
• Walter Bright (D Programming Language)

Encoding

We use dvgrab to rip the talks from the camera and ffmpeg to encode.

Mirrors

• taurine (90 Mbps) [It can probably push much more if it were on a gigabit link]
• citric-acid (250 Mbps)
• natural-flavours (200 Mbps)
• artificial-flavours (200 Mbps)
• perpugilliam (90 Mbps)

The list of mirrors can be found in /users/www/mirrors.txt; the web server selects a random mirror from this list at each file request. We now run snmpd so we have real-time access to network and cpu load data. We should therefore be able to write a more intelligent mirror selection script. We also use mirror.cs to mirror on-campus.

We are currently looking at QoS tagging to reduce the load on campus switches/routers.
