[Roland Alton-S. <ra...@pv...>]

:::: Community Media Summer Sprint ::::

22 - 26 AUG 2005, Alberschwende, Austria.

A number of radio stations, who use StreamOnTheFly as their repository 
and to exchange content in the SOTF network is growing steadily and can 
be used as PodCasting Server. Developers, partners and potential future 
users have requested a Sprint Event, which will now take place end of 
August 2005 in the Alps. On the technical side, we would like to get 
some pending issues done, such as scheduling, video support, XBMF and 
life radio integration. Furthermore, we will have sessions on 
operational, legal (CC) and political issues in the community media 
sector and preparations for the AXMEDIS conference, which has accepted 
our latest paper on StreamOnTheFly for IEEE publication.

The sprint will take place in a small village in Bregenzer Wald 
(http://www.alberschwende.at/). We will have Mesmer's Stadl as a big 
workshop room and meeting rooms at Telesis and PUBLIC VOICE Lab. We 
will organize Bed, Brunch, Rooms, Beamer, WLAN Network, Technical 
Support and Evening Events (cheese making, summer-toboggan, hut, etc).

After the Sprint, some people may visit the Ars Electronica Festival in 
Linz (www.aec.at/festival/), which is starting 5 days later. In thiis 
period, you can make some holidays in the alps or in the Bodensee or 
Salzburg lake area or we extend the workshops for a few days and 
combine it with hiking.

A Sprint events means: achieve real results with concentrated efforts 
in a nice working environment. And have a lot of fun together ;-)
