[dcbrown]

Trying my dardnest to webcast BAE Systems Granite State Regional. Thanks go out to the regional committee members Kerry & Kari at BAE for helping out organizing the network drop needed. Now all I have to do is make the stupid equipment behave! Wish me luck!

(Note: the ustream link will be airing last years event on/off over the next couple of weeks as I test the equipment setup I'll be using.)

The LVR will finally be webcast...I am on the planning committee and have been assured that UNLV will webcast the event. I will share the link when I receive it.

I feel like a Wiki would be an ideal place to consolidate knowledge about webcasts.

Agreed. Are you thinking FIRSTwiki or do you want to try and set something else up?

Hi Everyone,

Just curious if things have changed for 2009? It seems to me like in past years there was a fairly comprehensive list of the regionals NASA was going to web cast by this point? I haven't seen that yet this year unless I've missed something, have things changed? The web cast efforts seem a little scattered this year.

Just curious,

Justin

Here is the growing list of regionals that are being webcasted: http://www.firstwiki.net/index.php/2009_Webcasts, week one looks to be a busy one already with 5 webcasts going on this week.

There is a Chicago Regional being broadcasted, but it's not my regional. Still, it's being broadcast. http://www.ustream.tv/channel/521259

For anyone interested in webcasting an event, here are more details on how to go about using NASA's servers to do so:

Attached are two net bandwidth snaps from GSR, one taken at the beginning of the day before everyone arrived with a lightly loaded network, the second at one of the low points during the day when I was struggling to maintain stream connectivity....

Any questions on why the stream was having problems?

That's a pretty cool application.
I just tested my connection at work, & it showed 58.1Mbps download, & 348kbps upload.
What a crazy jump in values! I'll have to check my connection at home, just out of curiosity - I have cable there.
Thanks for sharing!
