VIA Centrale Réseaux, the association which manages the network of the student residence of the Ecole Centrale Paris, has set up a brand new network from Extreme Networks. It is a full multicast and full layer 3 network with a multi Ethernet Gigabit backbone and 100 Mbit/s switches on the periphery.
The VideoLAN team has launched a new test campaign on this network. One thousand students take part in the test campaign. They can choose to view one of the 12 channels and switch from one to another instantly. For the first day of the test campaign, we organised a show at the Ecole Centrale for the students with an image wall !
We eventually received the IBM Thinkpad as a reward for the IBM Linux Challenge. VideoLAN is one of the 25 winners of the IBM Linux Challenge for opensource projects developed by university students. The Thinkpad is a T23: Pentium 1.13 Ghz, 128 Mbit of RAM, 30 Gbit hard drive, DVD player, modem and Ethernet card. It was shipped with Windows XP...! Its name is Velix. It will be used by the developers of the Ecole Centrale to develop and test the solution and also for the events that we organise around VideoLAN.
The team organized a conference to present the project and its possible applications to companies who could be interested in technical or commercial partnerships. It took place on February 28th 2002 at the École Centrale Paris. Thanks for those of you who joined the presentation.
