The Semantic Desktop, SPARQL and You @ FOSDEM

Tuesday, January 26th, 2010

In a couple of weeks at FOSDEM, I’ll be giving a talk in the GNOME developer room on the semantic desktop and showing the new world of interaction that RDF, SPARQL and Tracker make possible. I’ll be joined by Philip Van Hoof and Roberto Guido.

We’ll be digging behind the buzzwords, explaining what it’s all about and most importantly showing off cool real-world apps using this stuff. We’ll also announce a competition for the coolest app using Tracker and RDF, for which Codethink will sponsor a prize.

See you all there!

I'm going to FOSDEM, the Free and Open Source Software Developers' European Meeting

Streaming video distribution services

Thursday, January 21st, 2010

Dear Lazyweb,

I’m looking for a streaming video provider that Codethink can use for streaming demos, talks etc. I want it to use HTML5 video with ogg or x264 if available and if not, fall back to Flash. Good quality streaming is a must and HD would be good. I’m happy to pay for the service.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks!
