Talks:

MythNetTV by Michael Still
--------------------------

MythNetTV is a RSS / Atom aggregator for MythTV, which downloads videos
via HTTP, some streaming protocols and bittorrent, and then imports them
just like other recordings into the MythTV user interface. Its currently
packaged by MythBuntu, and available from
http://www.stillhq.com/mythtv/mythnettv/

Transcoding in MythTV by Paul Wayper
------------------------------------

Want to understand the transcoding process in MythTV? Then this is the
talk for you!

MythTV Internals by Nigel Pearson
---------------------------------

Threads, databases, user jobs, and 700,000 lines of code. Ask the
developer how it all works!

Debugging DTV by Steven Ellis
-----------------------------

Find out about how well Linux supports Digital TV including device
drivesr, how to run current versions of new hardware, testing tools,
troubleshooting tips and tricks and specific issues with some devices.

MythTV development from '04 to now by Nigel Pearson
---------------------------------------------------

CVS to SVN, e-mail to Trac, Linux to Linux/Mac/Windows, it is not only
MythTV's features that have evolved.

Lightning Talks
---------------

A number of 5 minute lightning talks, there are still a number of slots,
if you're interested in giving a lightning talk please let me know!

Presence Awareness by Jonathan Oxer
-----------------------------------

Recently Jonathan has been working on presence-awareness for a
Linux-based home-automation system that is going to be used in the
project house for a new TV show called SuperHouse (www.superhouse.tv for
background). One thing he's experimented with is having a device linked
to a MythTV box that detects when there is a person present in front of
it, and if they move away (walk out of the room, for example) it pauses
automatically. Then if they walk back in it resumes playing.

Come along and find out more about it.

Cheers!
