Aha, I've forgotten one fun tidbit! Dicebot has had the amazing idea of providing a hashtag for "live questions" from the remote audience. So if you're watching and want to say or ask something, simply Tweet and include the hashtag #askDConf. Dicebot will pick up the Q's and pass them onto the appropriate party in the event itself. Should be quite a fun way to interact with the live stream! :)

I'd love to mirror it on livecoding.tv. Of course the main concern with this is a round trip to europe from New Zealand would not be very good for viewers, even if I'm on a fiber connection.

Wouldn't be too hard I suppose to write an irc bot to mirror chat there on to FreeNode #D or even automate tweets. Especially with my irc to XMPP bridge (free for use).

There appears to be a problem with the sound on Ustream with Android, at least for me: there is none.  I've tried it on a Sony phone and a Samsung tablet, both with the HTML5 player in the browser and the Android app.  All other streams work, which suggests it's a problem with the Dconf stream.

My guess is that the Dconf stream is using an audio codec that Ustream doesn't support on Android, and it's silently failing, in more ways than one.  If anyone else can reproduce this and maybe try to fix it by changing the audio codec, if possible, that'd be great.

Great, but why is the stream so blurry ?
It can't be my bandwidth, and I can't find any menu/button to enable HD video on ustream's flash player.

Have reported it to A/V team, will see if they can fix it timely.

Can it be html5 ?

Sound doesn't work in the official Ustream Android app either for the Dconf stream, as I noted.  My guess would be that the HTML5 player and the Android app try to use whatever audio codecs are built into Android, instead of the app using its own codecs, and the codec chosen by the Dconf livestream is not normally supported on Android for whatever reason.

Unfortunately all require Flash... which I and most likely a lot haven't installed.

Also, no audo with iPhone or OS X.  Even downloaded Ustream app.  Must be an upstream problem.  Looks like Kai is giving a nice talk though.
