per me puo' pure ignorare i giornalisti
cmq mi pare che ci sara' per la conferenza stampa, no?

direi gli chiediamo di dare un'introduzione breve al suo seminario

inoltre digli che se vuole nel suo tempo libero puo' decidere se
rilasciare un'intervista su radiocybernet, ma tranquilla, anche
annunciandosi con un altro nome e non come richard stallman ;>

there's a patenting problem on MPEG codecs, we know

we do broadcast the speeches on the internal network for ppl to listen,
and listeners outside as well, using only free software, but

to encode mp3 we use lame which stands for "LAME Ain't an MP3 Encoder"

this is done because icecast2 which supports ogg/vorbis streaming is
still in development phase, without a stable release, without full
support on every client.

is it OK?

QoS per forza
chiedigli se va bene una shell in ssh all'esterno o se gli serve un SMTP
locale per mandare dal suo laptop, se ne ha uno altrimenti bisogna
preparargli un computer: per quanto ne so io questo e' un vero autistico
e ha bisogno delle sue 6 ore minime davanti a un terminale suo



stabiliamo subito giorno e ora per il suo speech
