Q: '''Convince us, in 5-15 sentences, that you will be able to successfully complete your project in the timeline you have described. This is usually where people describe their past experiences, credentials, prior projects, schoolwork, and that sort of thing, but be creative. Link to prior work or other resources as relevant.'''

I created a prototype application in Qt for an unrelated project with a feature that performs video broadcasting over Icecast to local devices (albeit via gstreamer-tools, in a more crude manner than I aim to do so) a few months ago, which can be found at http://launchpad.net/tde
In that project, the focus was on interaction of mobile Internet Tablet devices with other household electronics, such as TVs and the like, as well as the exploration of a time-centric desktop computing paradigm. However, the icecast-based broadcasting architecture there is similar (albeit far more primitive, lacking security features, and restricted to only local devices as targets) to what I aim to implement here. Having learned more about the constraints and architecture of mass-video broadcasting over Icecast, I believe I now have the necessary knowledge to deliver a production-ready implementation of the described multimedia-broadcasting activity.
