Front End Ops Conf Live Stream Webcast

May 5, 2014 Tim Arthur0

Webcasting from San Francisco, California, Front End Ops Conf hosted by Sauce Labs

Front End Operations is an emerging discipline in web application development and engineering. Front End Ops Conf was a 2-day conference dedicated to this new regimen. e3 Webcasting was honored to film and live stream webcast the sold out conference to the global online community. The conference explored new ideas on topics such as; test automation and application monitoring. Attendees heard first hand about the latest tools for deployment and monitoring from the devs who are using them daily.

Held at the Terra Gallery, which is located in San Francisco’s SOMA district, the venue was spacious and open with an abundance of natural light on both floors. Sauce Labs VP of Engineering, Adam Christian, opened the conference by laying out the FEOpsConf vision for the next 2 days. Next up was Alex Sexton, Conference co-chair and Product engineer at Stripe. Alex gave the first Keynote – “Front End Operations”. Following Alex was Seth Walker, from Etsy, and then Sarah Goff-Dupont, from Atlassian. At this point the live stream webcast viewers outnumbered the attendees present at the conference. By the end of the day, Thursday, the live stream webcast had been viewed by just under 1,200 viewers.

As with most conferences, there was a wealth of amazing information being presented. To keep the crowd going, Rackspace provided ample amounts of caffeine via Ritual Coffee, who set-up a temporary coffee shop on the lower level. The e3 Webcasting crew was very grateful for the delicious coffee that helped keep us alert and focused.

Bertrand Fan, from Flickr’s talk on “Rebooting Flickr On A Node.js Stack, One Page At A Time” walked the audience through the transition to the Node.js stack, presenting a fun, interactive graphic of all the Flickr code commits over the years.

As Sebastian Golasch, from Deutsche Telekom, (which owns T-Mobile) presented his talk, “The Glitch In The Game”, the California Style Sheet Pirate and a couple other video game characters worked together to solve the glitch.

On Friday, Mikeal Rogers, from DigitalOcean, gave a talk on “The Rise of Front End Tooling”. Mikeal used Perspective from Pixxa to present some fun data on Front End Tooling.

The Front End Ops Conf was an incredible conference with speakers ranging from Google Chrome, Lonely Planet, Atlassian, Deutsche Telekom and GitHub.

Texas JavaScript Conference Live Video Webstream

June 5, 2013 Isaac Arthur0

Webcasting from Austin, Texas, The e3 Webcasting crew powers up the live stream for TXJS.

As people across the nation tuned into the TXJS Live Stream Webcast to view the conference from the convenience of their office, iPad or smartphone the conference team was getting ready to open the doors. It was a hot Texas day, although still early in the morning, as men and women crowded into the historic Paramount Theatre in Austin. Laptops open, a cup of coffee and a taco in hand, the audience got ready to hear from co-laborers and experts in their particular line of work. What event was this? The Texas JavaScript Conference (TXJS) held on April 15, 2013.

Topics Covered at TXJS

JavaScript (JS) may be beyond the comprehension of most of us not in the programming world, but for those in that field this event proved to be quite an exciting and festive gathering. Speakers from around the United States and the United Kingdom spoke on a variety of subjects, from HTML, CSS, and Node.js to things like web applications, entrepreneurism, content management systems, the legal issues related to open source, and how the British government was able to revamp their “user experience.” Sound like a jam-packed day? That wasn’t even the half of it!


Conference organizer Alex Sexton brought together this diverse group of developers and designers to celebrate, learn, and anticipate the future of their craft. With the TXJS Conf. being only a one-day event, there was a lot to fit into the sessions, and a lot of catching-up and networking to do in between.

Live Video Webcast Expands the TXJS Conference Reach

But, with something as big and widely used as JavaScript, the estimated 325 people in attendance there at the Paramount in Austin were not the only interested parties; nor were they the only die-hard JS fans out there. This year e3 Webcasting was brought in to provide live streaming of all the sessions for TXJS. Once the stream went live and the talks began, 250 + online viewers tuned in to catch the event. These were not merely distant, mildly curious on-lookers who tuned in for five minutes and moving on – this was a steady audience-base that hung with us for the majority of the day. The numbers grew throughout the morning sessions, which began around 9 am, and only started decreasing toward the end of the day (which wrapped up at roughly 6:30 pm). The largest amount of online viewers exceeded 300. This means that nearly double the amount of people who actually came to Austin that day were able to be a part of the conference’s activities.

Reaching the other 90% of Your Audience via Streaming

Clearly, whether we’re talking about a weeklong mega-event or a single-day, one-track conference, everyone has the ability to maximize the potential of webcasting technology to reach the other 90% of their audience that isn’t physically present. It was a pleasure to be a part of Texas JavaScript Conference and to bring the event to the more-than-300 people who were able to watch the stream that day. This was not only a success for this year’s TXJS, but could also have benefits in the future – anyone avid enough to watch a conference online for a whole day will definitely want to be there in person the following year! Like the final speakers who talked about the future of the industry and the exciting places it might go, we are thrilled to be involved in the business of webcasting, and are looking forward to what comes next.

Law and Liberty Webcast Goes Live

May 2, 2013 Isaac Arthur0

The e3 Webcasting crew live stream webcasting the Law and Liberty Tour from Anacortes, Washington

We Americans have long referred to our nation as, “The Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave,” and we frequently talk about liberty. On the weekend of March 9th, it was the topic of the Law and Liberty Pacific Northwest Tour, a one-day event put on by the Chalcedon Foundation, and live streamed by e3 Webcasting. But what is liberty? Are there limits to liberty? Is law merely the imposition of other men? How can we avoid the extremes of anarchy on the one hand and tyranny on the other? These are all good questions for any “Son of Liberty” to wrestle with, and they also happen to be a few of the questions that were addressed this weekend.

Chalcedon is a Christian educational organization, based out of Vallecito, CA, that seeks to promote the ideas of Biblical Christianity as they apply to every area of life. This event takes its name from a book by the same title, which written in 1984 by the organization’s founder, R.J. Rushdoony. The day featured talks from two distinguished speakers: Mark Rushdoony, the president of Chalcedon, and Bojidar Marinov, a missionary and author who leads a ministry to his homeland of Bulgaria. Both of these men spoke passionately about the ideas that have shaped Western Civilization over centuries of history.

The event, which was coordinated by Chalcedon’s Andrea Schwartz with the help of a local family, was held at the charming Majestic Inn in Anacortes, Washington, a town north of Seattle, WA. The crowd numbered over a hundred, and was made up of a wide demographic, ranging from families with kids, to young adults and college-age students, to older adults. They listened intently as Rushdoony and Marinov unpacked the theological and political ideas that are encompassed in the topic of law, and the nature of true liberty. Rushdoony opened the day with a historical overview of “How We Went From Liberty to Statism” and Marinov followed up with a dissertation on “Ethics as the Foundation for Liberty.” The afternoon talks delved into reasons for Christians to be optimistic, and the structure of a Biblical society.

The Law and Liberty Pacific Northwest Tour was a success, and the stream went well. Some may wonder why you would live stream an event such as this, but there are many reasons to do so. In addition to the people who were in attendance at The Majestic, more people, unable to travel to the event, were able to watch via the live stream. Chalcedon and organizations like it have extremely important, timely messages; and they desire to reach as many people as they can with what they have to say. Obviously, live streaming technology will never replace person-to-person interaction, but it does allow for ministries, organizations, and speakers to broadcast their ideas around the nation, and even the world. Live streaming is the future for the spreading of ideas and concepts, and anyone with something to say should consider taking advantage of it. It was great to be able to stream Chalcedon’s event, and it will be exciting to see where this goes in the future, whether America will once again be a free and independent republic.

Premiere Live Stream Webcasting

December 31, 2012 Isaac Arthur0

Live stream webcast of the Hobbit Movie World Permiere

Examples of the game-changing nature of webcasting are everywhere you look. From large conferences to political conventions to smaller niche events, live streaming is exploding all over the planet and in many different settings. Now, even major motion picture studios are realizing the value that this powerful resource can bring. This last November, by employing Hollywood event streaming company Now Live, the Warner Bros. and New Line Cinema social media users from around the world were able to virtually travel to New Zealand to participate in one of the most highly anticipated movie events of the year: the world premiere of director Peter Jackson’s newest trek into Middle Earth, the world of author J.R.R. Tolkien’s fantasy literature, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey.

I tuned-in to the stream that night, along with thousands of Tolkien and movie enthusiasts: because, being in the business of webcasting, and a fan of the films as well, I had a staked interested. After clicking the link to the stream’s page on Facebook, it was apparent that they had rolled out the red carpet, not only for the film’s cast and crew, physically in attendance in Wellington, but also for the curious and expectant audience across the globe. Those watching the live stream of the pre-show premiere festivities were treated to sweeping shots of the lengthy red carpet, musical performances by Neil Finn and his band (Finn is a New Zealander himself and the music artist behind the “Song of the Lonely Mountain” which is featured in the movie’s credits) and up-close interviews with the actors and filmmakers who created the film. Even if one had the opportunity to be there in person, one probably wouldn’t have had a better experience than sitting at home watching the stream.

Between delighting fans with behind-the-scenes stories and glimpses of their favorite actors, as well as enticing others to find out more about the film, and boosting the hype and excitement about The Hobbit before its theatrical release, the live stream webcast was a huge success. All the music, the celebrity sightings, and the sneak peeks at movie itself (not shown in the live stream, of course) had the effect of generating even more word of mouth and anticipation. Hollywood marketers know how to pack people in and the live-streamed premiere is just one way that technology has given studios a way to reach audiences. The movie has been in theaters since December 14 and has remained in the Top 10 in the box office, currently #1 – ahead of the Django Unchained and Les Misérables – and has grossed $222.7 million. Not to commit the fallacy of assuming that the live stream webcast was the deciding factor here, yet one does have to wonder how live streaming technology could have helped reach greater numbers of filmgoers and propelled the other films to the top slot now occupied by Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit. Speculation aside, it is quite clear that live streaming is quickly becoming an indispensable tool for conferences, events, and the silver screen.
