Broadcasting BarCamp Canberra 2010

Yesterday saw the third BarCamp Canberra return to the ANU for a day of geekery and thought-provoking discussions. I didn’t present anything this year; I contributed by pointing a camera at the stage in room 101 and streaming the presentations and discussions for those who couldn’t make it.

Watch live streaming video from barcampcanberra at livestream.com

As well as the player automatically playing videos above, Livestream provides videos on demand.

I learned a few lessons for the next time I livestream something; I need to take a Sphere camera and use it rather than the clip-on Logitech 9000 if I have a stable place to position it. I also have to get a BT-1 bluetooth camera and test that out.

I have to note that I was really pleased with how the Livestream system worked out; it was so easy to set up text and image overlays. Using a Twitter RSS feed as the ticker input produced exactly the result I wanted. Very happy.

Next time I’ll promote it a bit more before the event. This time I didn’t as it was a last minute decision to do it at all. Thanks to all of you who tuned in.

In the end, all lose.
