Jiri Eischmann: How We Streamed OpenAlt on Vhsky.cz
The blog post was originally published on my Czech blog.
When we launched Vhsky.cz a year ago, we did it to provide an alternative to the near-monopoly of YouTube. I believe video distribution is so important today that it’s a skill we should maintain ourselves.
To be honest, it’s bothered me for the past few years that even open-source conferences simply rely on YouTube for streaming talks, without attempting to secure a more open path. We are a community of tech enthusiasts who tinker with everything and take pride in managing things ourselves, yet we just dump our videos onto YouTube, even when we have the tools to handle it internally. Meanwhile, it’s common for conferences abroad to manage this themselves. Just look at FOSDEM or Chaos Communication Congress.
This is why, from the moment Vhsky.cz launched, my ambition was to broadcast talks from OpenAlt—a conference I care about and help organize. The first small step was uploading videos from previous years. Throughout the year, we experimented with streaming from OpenAlt meetups. We found that it worked, but a single stream isn’t quite the stress test needed to prove we could handle broadcasting an entire conference.
