FIRST Podcast

[ducttapehaxor]

Seems like a good idea, be prepared for heavy traffic however the podcast is set up though.

bittorent is definetly one way, multiple servers is another. We could potentially setup a sourceforge style network, pick your server.

Anyone have any ideas for:
-The first podcast? Once we settle on this idea, you can build the rest of the show.
-Special Guests?
-The Offical Host? Or even better we could use a team of hosts like they do on radio shows.

Personally, I think that invisible multiple servers (IE, requests get sent to a non-busy server, but the user has no idea that's happening) is the best bet. Bittorrent isn't supported by many of the popular podcatchers. (IE, iPodder and bashPodder)

Oh!! I know! We could try to talk that Mars guy, um, what's his name, Lavery into coming on and talking about Marsy type things.

Or the inventory of the Segway. He's cool too.

So far we have a bunch of volunteers, but we probably should only have 3-5ish hosts. Since they'll probably using some form of VoIP to create the podcast, they need to have broadband connections. Those are my only suggestions.

Ok everyone, I'm going to be in the IRC channel at 8:30 tonight, I'm hoping some of you will be there to discuss this, if I picked a wildly inconvenient time for everyone just yell at me and I'll fidn a better time, otherwise I hope to see you there.

[Mike]

Cool idea, I'll volunteer in any way possible.

Now I know how you guys all feel when you shoot ideas out with the knowledge that you don't have to do it.

How about the FIRST Podcast Network .. Intsead of one regular show .. a variety of shows each with their own set subjects/topics and hosts.

8:30 in what time zone? :S (and I lost the web address, if someone can give me that please, thanks )

Look in my signature for either the IRC link or the java chat link.

We managed to pull together a pretty good chat earlier, and it looks like we may actually get this show on the road. We have 4 hosts right now and we're developing a site, but we're always in need of help big or small.

Some things that can help us (PM or IM me for further details and if your intrested)
-Topics to Talk about
-Questions! (We're planning on having a Q&A segment every show)
-Guest Speakers (you don't need to be famous, just be knowledgable in a certain robotics related field)
-Audio Editing Skills
-Hosting

For the hostage of the files themselves, i suggest a site called Ourmedia. Basically, they will host any and all media. You then give it a little Creative Commons license, decide what people can do with it, and thats it. Hosted forever, with [flashing text]unlimited[/flashing text] bandwidth.

All free and everything. I heard of this site on TechTV or something like that. I plan to use it as a host for the teams movie files this year.

I would totally listen to something like this though. Love podcasts, and FIRST.

nuts, I missed it...my mom couldn't find a better time for us to go out! oh well, I guess Connor...err....Ryan...uh..cdr1122334455 lol, kinda briefed us, so thats cool...are we going to have like music and stuff too or just talk show kinda stuff?

[Babyhueyhnx]

i can get us hosting and a webaddress. for the pod casts we could do mirroring so we dont get overloaded. if you dont feel like making the whole site your self try out mambo. www.mamboserver.com just make a template. gotta let me know right away about the web address/domain name. i can also edit the files as i do have some experience in that area.

Some Podcats (Security Now w/ Steve Gibson & Leo Laporte) are now using Google Talk for a free way to talk to people. I know I'm poor college student, and well, I'd like to maybe partake in the podcast through iChat AV or Google Talk.
