From camera to website: Building an open source video streamer (Red Hat Magazine)

Red Hat Magazine has an article on setting up video streaming using free software. It covers simple methods for acquiring the video data, converting it to a streaming format, and then streaming it on demand. "I am a soldier in the U.S. Army, currently deployed to Afghanistan. I wanted to be able to share videos with my family from away from home. I wished to maintain my privacy and have better control over my audience. Whether you wish to share videos for educational purposes, share screencasts for documenting software features, or simply entertain, this article will show you how to set up a streaming video website using open source software."
