Braodcast Yourself to FITC Toronto

April 20th, 2008

Just a quick note while I’m waiting for my flight to Toronto. We have a new version of the broadcaster for our Red5Server booth at FITC Toronto 2008 up and running. Thanks to Jerry Chabolla for his hard work pulling this together.

Here’s the link, see you there!

Presenting Red5 at FITC Toronto 2008

April 12th, 2008

I’ve been invited again to present on Red5 at FITC Toronto this year. It’s an honor to be included in such an amazing lineup of talented presenters. This year my presentation should be pretty exciting, as I’m demoing a couple of unreleased features of Red5. Here’s a list of what you can expect:

  • How to develop with the Jedai Framework (new AS3 library for Red5)
  • Demo of the new server-side ActionScript FMIS compatibility layer for Red5 (thanks to David Foley’s hard work on this)
  • Paperworld3D demo by special guest Trevor Burton
  • How to setup Eclipse to begin coding Red5 projects

While I’m really excited about my own talk, I’m a bit disappointed that it’s happening at the same time as Chuck Freedman’s presentation on the new Ribbit components for Flash. These components are going to allow people to develop some Flash based telephone applications that just have not been seen before. The components have been created by Infrared5’s Keith Peters, so you know they will be a solid implementation. Of course Keith will also be presenting his own topic at FITC. He’s doing a talk on advanced Math techniques in AS3. Luckily I don’t have to miss that one.

In addition, we at Red5Server will be sponsoring the event and will have our own booth there. Please stop by to say hello if you are going to the show. Red5Server will also be creating (in collaboration with James Eberhardt from Echo Mobile) a very cool realtime communication application, streaming videos of the presentations, allowing SMS text messaging and enabling people to video chat with folks at the event.

Shawn Pucknell always puts on one of the best Flash events of the year, so if you haven’t already gotten tickets, I recommend doing so before they all sell out!

Broadcast Yourself to FITC Amsterdam!

February 25th, 2008

All is going well here in Amsterdam. Phlash5 had a great rehearsal last night and I’m finishing up the final touches on my presentation for this afternoon.

The Red5Server booth is setup, and we are getting lots of great reception from people stopping by. We have put together a fun little broadcasting application so that you can show up at our booth. The not-so-secret URL for this is http://red5server.com/amsterdam. I hope to see you pop up on our screen at the booth!

Heading to FITC Amsterdam

February 22nd, 2008

I’m in the process of getting stuff together for FITC Amsterdam. I’m flying out tonight for what looks an awesome trip. We are releasing version 0.7 of Red5 this weekend for which I will be presenting on some of the new stuff at my session on Monday. We at Red5Server are also sponsoring the event where we will have a booth. If you are going to be at FITC Amsterdam please stop by to say hi.

Our band Phlash5 will also be performing for the Influxis party on Monday evening. Keith Peters will be providing the visuals remotely from Boston for the show. These experiments will be controlled by Keith using a novel interface he came up with that uses Red5 for the data transfer. Be sure to come to the party to check it out if you can.

I hope to see many of you there!

Erlang Madness!

January 21st, 2008

Well with Ted’s latest post on the language, and Luke Hubbard telling me about his new RTMP server written in Erlang, I thought that I should share this video. Luke posted it on his blog a little while back, but I’m not too sure how many folks saw it.

So without further ado, here’s the video.
