thanks for your offer! a system in Singapore sounds definitly like a good 
improvement. our requierements are quite easy: a debian system running squeeze 
and the icecast2 daemon from squeeze.

debconf-video@lists.debconf.org is the right address. It's usually very low 
traffic, less then 100 mails per year, with 70 of it in the month of DebConf 
:) (IOW: maybe you can subscribe?)

I've added your offer to the (just now created) 
http://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf11/Videoteam page.

BTW, it would be awesome if someone could create DebConf11 videoteam pages 
like we had last year: software, hardware, todo, streaming, penta workflow, 
howtos, help, etc. - IOW: copy the relevant pages from DebConf10 (or create 
placeholders, like for the meeting page or the todo one :)

I guess it would help tremendously to set this all up already now - and not 
during debcamp ;) The documentation we created last year was quite very good, 
for this year we can make it even better by starting earlier and building on 
last years work. 


cheers,
