Federated wiki is of core use here because of it's ability to serve as a means of connecting all the complexity of the various distributed functioning parts of a live experience on the internet.
Live streaming does not have to simply be Hangouts on Air, or pointing a webcam at a talking head. We can mix game footage, code, the web, and local content in new forms of mashup..
First of all it serves and an excellent and flexible way to share content between various Hyperlocal Content Providers. You want some content to present/stream/remix? Just fork a Fedwiki page. You can then play it back live, access high resolution versions for editing on IPFS, or simply link and share it with your audience.
Secondly - all this technology is damned confusing. What audio mics should you buy? how do you set up a Raspberry Pi for audio streaming? What free software software tools are best for making simple optimisations to your media files?
This is a Raspberry Pi solution that we can make to create a mini streaming audio server based sn Raspberry Pi.
Fedwiki helps here by documenting this technology and allowing the community to share this documentation across the network - the Learning Model is built into the platform. It is this ability to share live active knowledge, that makes the content unique and attractive to viewers. They can participate in the experience. they can join in with the making.
# Connecting Video Editing Suites
Another way of thinking about Fedwiki Live Studios are simply using Fedwiki to connect people hoe recording studios and video editing suites.
Mobile devices have amazingly capable still and video cameras, that can be used in a number of ways with Federated Wiki.
Using the combination of Fedwiki, IPFS, and Mumble we can connect people, and studio equipment in a way which allows them to share material, safely and freely share the burden of backing up their material, and find new ways of learning and documenting their experience of making together.
Currently hsaring raw video footage, rough edits and other high quality media assets is complex and expensive. The Fedwiki Live Studio will simplify things simply by adding a Pi Studio to your LAN, or running a Docker on a box of your choosing.
# Connecting Social Centres
We see the Fedwiki Live Studio as the best core technological framework out there to connect distributed social spaces in a decentralised fashion. We need to integrate a few small pieces of technology into the mix - but we are nearly there.
A portable-wiki-server, is more than just a Hyperlocal Server for Fedwiki. It is an application designed to fit in your hand, and enable you to share your data with people in close proximity to you.
The first step is to polish the mobile and embedded Fedwiki server, linking this to IPFS and adding audio and video live recording capability.
A mobile-fedwiki-server would run on your mobile phone, or tablet, and allow you to serve out Fedwiki pages to people that share you immediate vicinity (on the same wifi (LAN address), or in range of your Fedwiki Tethering
A core aspect of this project will be to enable low cost sustainable software and hardware deployment across multiple spaces. We cannot rely on simply high tech spaces, with fantastic bandwidth and technical experts at hand to update the software.
For this we want to use Docker to deploy the Block Server to a range of devices:
Docker is an open-source project that automates the deployment of applications inside software containers - wikipedia
