Minner om NUUG-møte første arbeidsdag etter pinsen.  Foredragsholder
er i Oslo på tirsdag, og i Bergen på torsdag.  Vi i NUUG spurte BLUG
om de også ville ha besøk. :)

> Månedens tema er: «Open Source in Broadcasting» med Kieran Kunhya.
> Foredraget vil foregå på engelsk:
> 
>   For a variety of reasons broadcasters are not big users of open
>   source - if anything many still have a viewpoint of Open Source that
>   resembles views of the early 1990s. This presentation aims to
>   explain what broadcasters around the world are doing in this area
>   and what some of the difficulties are in an industry reliant on
>   proprietary hardware and software as well as IPR-heavy. In
>   particular it will look into the creation of the Open Broadcast
>   Encoder (OBE), a professional television encoder running on
>   commodity hardware which many Norwegian organisations have played a
>   role in. Many of the deployments have been firsts for Open Source in
>   broadcasting, not to mention software encoders, silencing many
>   naysayers.
> 
> Kieran has worked on a variety of Open Source projects in multimedia,
> mainly on x264 and FFmpeg/libav, trying to make them suitable for use
> in professional environments such as Blu-Ray, television transmission
> and post-production to broadcaster file interchange. However, the
> technical issues are only half of the puzzle - he also spends a lot of
> time trying to explain Broadcasting to Open Source people and Open
> Source to Broadcasters and has spoken at many events about this. He is
> the creator of the Open Broadcast Encoder[3] project, which is a fully
> open source broadcast encoder used to deliver a variety of channels
> around the world from the most high profile channels to much smaller
> channels, putting small players (e.g Frikanalen[4] in Norway) on a
> similar playing field to the big players. He has worked on all the
> major deployments of OBE.
