      Hi Trevor and thanks for getting back to us.
Concerning the issues during Reveil, thank you for pointing this out and 
yes we are aware that there where problems and apologise if it spoiled 
the event for anyone. It was due to two factors - one is that the 
service provider has limited the traffic to the locus mountpoint - we 
were not aware of this before (possibly becasue we had never hit the 
limit ) but it is rectifiable by announcing upcoming events to 
Creacast.com. The other problem is due to the architecture of the 
timeline page for Reveil which means that everytime someone updates the 
page it pings all the mountpoints including those which are not active 
because destined to be used for a performance at a specific time. We 
will fix these issues before the next soundcamp reveil. In the meantime 
it shouldn't be a problem for the soundwalk we are planning which is 
spread over several weeks (we are not expecting thousands of users at 
the same time).
Thanks for you help,
Best
Peter

Hi Peter,
Our mic is always on and always happy participate in streaming events:
http://locus.creacast.com:9001/jasper_ridge_birdcast.mp3 
http://locus.creacast.com:9001/jasper_ridge_birdcast.mp3
I've noticed during the last two Reveil events that LocusSonus has 
some kind of performance/capacity problem that impacts some streams, 
including ours. Our audio stream dropped out constantly during the 
Reveil event, something that never happens on our stream outside of 
Reveil. Is this a known issue? Too much traffic at once? It's not a 
network connectivity or equipment issue on our end.
thanks,
Trevor

Dear Streamers,
I hope you are all well and that you haven't been too badly effected by
the pandemic.
The last presentation of the geolocated stream soundwalk "des Mondes au
creux de l'oreille" that your stream participated in last year did take
place, but was of course affected by lockdowns etc. The second event it
was to be attached to - The World Conservation Conference
https://www.iucncongress2020.org/ https://www.iucncongress2020.org/ 
was postponed and is finally taking
place this coming september.
We have decided to reactivate the piece for the event.
Would it be possible for you to switch on your microphone for the event
(as soon as possible so that we can test the setup)? If this is not
possible please let us know so that we can find and alternative.
As always our warm thanks for your participation!
Best Wishes
Peter
