Last year, I was thinking on using Podcast Producer so that processing
and encoding would be done right after each session is done, but from
my tests, if recording on the "client" is having problems, we will be
aware of it only when you send the content to the Podcast Producer
server, so you might have lost a couple of hours of content :-/
Given that there will be an above average number of Xserves or
MacPros running OSX Server on this list (I can offer 2) then surely
QuickTime Streaming should be fairly easy to arrange? It's available
out-of-the-box with OSX Server. A camera or two, a copy of Wirecast (http://www.telestream.net/wire-cast/overview.htm
) and you're good to go. Wirecast will take a live Desktop feed from
any Mac/PC on the LAN as well to serve up P-in-P or other formats.
About 300-500k upstream to an Xserve will be ample for an H.264
stream. The streams can be reflected to other servers around the
world if necessary. It's the server that needs "loads of bandwidth"
not the remote location: that just needs "enough".

Given all the livecasting tools out there, I don't think it would
be too much trouble to do. I'm certain there'd be a need to
limiting viewers/interaction, but that shouldn't be too much trouble.
I think the biggest hurdle would be getting a reliable, fast
upstream.
That all said, if anyone does want to pursue this, I'll gladly lend
a hand in getting it going.
