DIY public participation?

Low Cost Webcast Optimizations?. ChunKing asks: "I work for a small community broadcasting organization, and we operate a limited streaming media facility for a number of not-for-profit webcasters. It has always been an issue to optimize our streaming media infrastructure to most benefit our users. We operate a small cluster of servers from a data center with good connectivity and a highly-rated ISP, who will occasionally allow us to burst to unlimited bandwidth. For big webcasts, we will load balance the stream over a number of servers using round robin DNS. However, we still get problems with stream buffering and network drop-outs, particularly with streaming video. We cannot afford a network of edge delivery servers like Akamai, so in what ways can we further optimize our streaming media capacity to better produce smooth webcasts?" [Slashdot]

Still wondering about OS for your office?

French police uses open source for variety, consistency.

(InfoWorld) - France has two national police forces, each reporting to a different ministry. One ministry is trying to avoid the kind of IT monoculture that allows viruses to spread and disable all key systems; the other wants to bring uniformity to a sprawling IT infrastructure. Both are turning to open source software to achieve their aims.
