Stream I - Development for Diversity: The African Hub Experience
Stream I Overview
villaACT, Senegal and Activespaces, Cameroon, will share their experiences or working as IT / Software Developers in Africa. Their invaluable input includes the following areas of research for Mokolo.Labs: accessible open source solutions for African video producers; low-cost server side solutions for video distribution semantic search based on increased availability of metadata; connection of audiovisual work with cultural metadata; location-based video compression. All of the work is open source, and the outcomes will be available as Open Educational Resources.

Stream II - Development for Diversity: The African Hub Experience
Stream II Overview
For Mokolo.Labs, the development challenge for innovative video distribution is not low-bandwith, but bandwidth diversity and resource efficiency. A generalized user experience can only be achieved when a realistic bandwidth picture is known to the developers. Often network carriers market their connection plans with “max bandwidth xyz”. We aim to assist developers through the creation of an African Video Bandwidth Observatory and invite partnerships with the MolokoLabs project in this effort. Areas of interest: social viewing experience; crowd-sourced metadata & content curation; progressive download & adaptive bitrate streaming; test frameworks & user feedback strategies.
Live-streaming of all sessions is provided by Streampark. Both days will include live-chat sessions with remote participants.

Adaptive Streaming
is a streaming technology based on the detection of the current bandwidth of the device therefore changing the stream to provide a bufferfree viewing.
