This issue we’re looking at broadcasting to the world with Open Broadcaster Software, if you were going to stream something what would you be up to?

Come to think of it, a live music and coding session with Sonic Pi would be somewhat engaging. Viewers could submit their own code snippets via git in near real-time, and probably a chaotic cacophony would ensue, but it would make for a good experiment.

I would stream a heartfelt plea: how do I stop buying endless amounts of optical discs for personal streaming purposes? And then follow it up with a live stream showing me going through the process of ripping, converting, tagging and adding to my ever-growing Jellyfin/Plex libraries.

For the past year Tom’s Hardware has streamed The Pi Cast, which is a Raspberry Pi-themed show using OBS to switch between shots for a virtual webcam. We can mix live video feeds, images and external devices into one virtual camera with transitions and overlays in real time.

I love to rake over the brains of folks who help shape open source. If I ever escape the bowels of Linux Format Towers, I’d love to live stream interviews with everyone from developers down in the trenches, to suits in corner offices, to feel the pulse of open source.

I can often see fireworks right from my window – there seems to be a party location near me where they celebrate something every weekend and all I need to do is simply turn my head right. That’s a good-enough reason if any to fire up Open Broadcaster Software!
