As an update, we&#39;ve added a second stream.  This one is free &amp; high def and only requires you having VLC [1]<div><br></div><div>The URL for the stream is:  <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; border-collapse: collapse; "><a href="http://transcode1.wikimedia.org:8080/" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(92, 69, 32); ">http://transcode1.wikimedia.org:8080</a> - All you need to do is launch VLC &gt; Media &gt; Open Network Stream.</span></div>

<div><br></div><div>Again, there is no warranty on the stream.  I&#39;ve got no idea how well the upload bandwidth will hold out or if the transcode server will survive.   Speak of, A big thanks to Mark Bergsma for setting up the transcode/server side of this little project with exactly zero heads up.</div>

All,<div>Since not everyone can attend WCWC11 [1] or a Wikipedia X party, we&#39;re trying to webcast [2] the event(s).  Until about 4 PM PST (UTC-08), the stream should be at WCWC11 in San Francisco.  Later on in the evenings (after 6PM PST), the stream should be from the San Francisco Party [3].</div>


<div><br></div><div>I make not promises about the streams being interesting or even working.  Feel free to email me comments off list though.<br clear="all"><br></div><div>Thanks</div><div>-Jon</div><div><br></div><div>[1] <a href="http://2011.westcoastwikicon.org/wiki/Main_Page" target="_blank">http://2011.westcoastwikicon.org/wiki/Main_Page</a></div>
