Participate Online

For ease of use, AFRINIC support two methods to connect to the meeting Jabber services; either through a web interface using your web browser, or through a conventional Jabber client. For the benefit of remote participants who wish to follow the proceedings of the conferences, meeting sessions will be broadcast live between 28 to 29 Nov 2012. In addition, an instant messaging server will be made available to post comments and/or questions to the meeting room in real time.

Online Audio Streaming

Streams are delivered as 48kb/s unicast-http-streamed mp3 audio, a popular and relatively standard way to deliver internet radio. Most platforms should have a client immediately available (windows media player, quicktime, real, winamp, vlc, mplayer, zinf, etc.) capable of playing back the stream. The live audio stream will be available at the following URL :-

(this link will be active starting from 28 to 29 Nov 2012 for the AFRINIC plenary sessions)
