  24       <div class="date"> 9th March 2015</div>
  25       <div class="body"><p>The <a href="http://www.nuug.no/">Norwegian Unix User Group</a>,
  26 where I am a member, and where people interested in free software,
  27 open standards and UNIX like operating systems like Linux and the BSDs
  28 come together, record our monthly technical presentations on video.
  29 The purpose is to document the talks and spread them to a wider
  30 audience.  For this, the the Norwegian nationwide open channel
  31 <a href="http://www.frikanalen.no/">Frikanalen</a> is a useful venue.
  32 Since a few days ago, when I figured out the
  33 <a href="http://beta.frikanalen.no/api/">REST API</a> to program the
  34 <a href="http://beta.frikanalen.tv/guide/">channel time schedule</a>,
  35 the channel has been filled with NUUG talks, related recordings and
  36 some Creative Commons licensed TED talks (from archive.org).  I fill
  37 all "leftover bits" on the channel with content from NUUG, which at
  38 the moment is almost 17 of 24 hours every day.</p>
  39
  40 <p>The list of NUUG videos
  41 <a href="http://beta.frikanalen.tv/organization/82">uploaded so far</a>
  42 include things like a
  43 <a href="http://beta.frikanalen.tv/video/625090">one hour talk by John
  44 Perry Barlow when he visited Oslo</a>, a presentation of
  45 <a href="http://beta.frikanalen.tv/video/624275">Haiku, the BeOS
  46 re-implementation</a>, the
  47 <a href="http://beta.frikanalen.tv/video/624493">history of FiksGataMi,
  48 the Norwegian version of FixMyStreet</a>, the good old
  49 <a href="http://beta.frikanalen.tv/video/623566">Warriors of the net
  50 video</A> and many others.</p>
  51
  52 <p>We have a large backlog of NUUG talks not yet uploaded to
  53 Frikanalen, and plan to upload every useful bit to the channel to
  54 spread the word there.  I also hope to find useful recordings from the
  55 Chaos Computer Club and Debian conferences and spread them on the
  56 channel as well.  But this require locating the videos and their meta
  57 information (title, description, license, etc), and preparing the
  58 recordings for broadcast, and I have not yet had the spare time to
  59 focus on this.  Perhaps you want to help.  Please join us on IRC,
  60 <a href="irc://irc.freenode.net/%23nuug">#nuug on irc.freenode.net</a>
  61 if you want to help make this happen.</p>
  62
  63 <p>But as I said, already the channel is already almost exclusively
  64 filled with technical topics, and if you want to learn something new
  65 today, check out the <a href="http://www.frikanalen.tv/se">Ogg Theora
  66 web stream</a> or use one of the other ways to get access to the
  67 channel.  Unfortunately the Ogg Theora recoding for distribution still
  68 do not properly sync the video and sound.  It is generated by recoding
  69 a internal MPEG transport stream with MPEG4 coded video (ie H.264) to
  70 Ogg Theora / Vorbis, and we have not been able to find a way that
  71 produces acceptable quality.  Help needed, please get in touch if you
  72 know how to fix it using free software.</p>
