[clue] [TALK] A possible solution (was: Why CLUE does not video stream meetings)

Wed Aug 17 17:25:11 MDT 2011

My apologies, this is a community, as such I should have mentioned I could
have offered to share what knowledge I have gained through the decade that I
have been tinkering with linux, if I saw the opportunity to. Of the few
things I have learned I could have given help to those looking to install
minimal linux distributions on proprietary hardware. Currently I am
proficient with installing debian 6, with full GUI, wifi, bluetooth and file
manager in as little as 500 megs of storage space as well as remaster
installable and live iso's with given software functionality. I helped Gus
with a distribution focused on OpenCV with a functioning OpenCV
implementation that associated with python.

Again, all that seemed to go around the mailing list was owned projects and
seminars that one could sit in on and ask questions. Not many opportunities
to participate on anything.

If streaming video was implemented that would be of some interest. Lost my
temporary job in May with http://www.mikron.com and have not been successful
in securing a position as of yet. Evicted last week.. So if there is a cost
to the streaming feeds I would not be able to participate. If it were free
this would be good as most clue activities are outside of a comfortable bike
ride distance.
