The audio, video, and some transcripts of the recent GPLv3 conference that
FSFE organised in Barcelona are now online:
http://fsfeurope.org/projects/gplv3/europe-gplv3-conference.en.html
I'm not finished putting all the materials online or getting the webpages
finished, but I wanted to ask three things. The materials are available in
Ogg Theora and Ogg Vorbis, and can be downloaded with BitTorrent.
(at 12:20 - in 2 hours time - that page should be complete enough to start
submitting it to slashdot etc.)
Are there any nice links which give people Free Software suggestions for how
to view/listen/download with those three technologies?
For the video and audio, I plan to recommende VLC since it's cross platform
and reportedly plays even Theora out of the box.
For BitTorrent, I could tell people to install bittornado and type:
btdownloadcurses http://example.com/filename.ext.torrent
But if there is a nice page with useful info - preferably for non-techs, I
would rather link to it.
One easy mistake I would like to avoid is linking to a page which suggests
that users of Microsoft platforms can install some proprietary
plug-in/software.
