<blockquote>''"Right now, I'm using a cobbled together set of tools. The local part doesn't matter to you all (yet,) but I'm sharing it anyway. On my local machine, I'm capturing the video (dvgrab) encoding the DV stream to Theora (ffmpeg2theora) saving a local copy (tee to local file) and pushing the bits (oggfwd) to an icecast server. Then I've got a WordPress install where I have our Air Mozilla web page that embeds the stream using the video tag. On that page I've also got an embedded IRC chat (mibbit) in an iFrame. When the live streaming event is over, I upload the copy of the video I saved locally using WordPress's upload feature and then I link the video in the WordPress page using a bit of JS that will dynamically swap out the src URL in the video tag when someone clicks it."</blockquote> | <blockquote>''"Right now, I'm using a cobbled together set of tools.

In late 2011 Air Mozilla was rebooted under the stewardship of Richard Milewski. The Mozilla WebDev team provided a design refresh of the Wordpress blog to bring the site in line with then-current Mozilla website design standards. | |||
In 2012 the Wordpress Blog was replaced with a Django/Playdoh custom CMS system implemented by Peter Bengtsson and Mozilla Intern Tim Mickel. (You can see [https://air.mozilla.org/most-meta-intern-presentation/ Tim's intern brownbag] in the Air Mozilla archive). | |||
