Dear all,
Here is an update on the video conferencing and streaming tool:
justin.tv is selected for video streaming purpose, we will be using it
during our GNOME 3 parties in Hong Kong, Beijing and Taiwan.
A howto can found at http://live.gnome.org/VideoStreaming/JustinTv
(prepared by Max from Taiwan GNOME User Group) , feel free to modify and
improve the page.
I will encourage our registered parties to do similar video streaming so
we can celebrate the release together.
If you have other options of video streaming / conferencing tools,
please make a how-to and let me know. We can definitely recommend more
than one tool :)
Thanks,
Pockey

Dear all,
Yeah, we would definitely use video conferencing (and / or
broadcasting tool) to connect events from different venues around the
world.
What we have tested so far:
Ekiga -- cannot even make one on one video chat on the same network,
sip calls didn't work, and the only thing that we managed to get
working is voice in the conference room. just wonder if anybody made
Ekiga video chat work? what's the trick?
Tested some online services on Firefox or Chromium, Linux:
1) dimdim.com -- new plugin (they say it's compulsory) doesn't work on
Firefox Linux => for free / trial account. not able to make even one
on one work
2) webhuddle.com -- only support voice and we cannot make it work
3) Yugma -- "invite contact" doesn't work on Linux
We are also testing and sourcing a reliable video / sound broadcasting
tool as well:
bigbluebutton --- cannot detect my camera, I guess it's a flash issue...

Dear Dave, Diego, Joey, Sriam,
Thank you for your help! I already gave all the suggestions to
the Taiwan GUG members and asked them to do some testing. Will
keep you posted of the result. Besides, they will definitely let
us know if they need further help!
Thanks, Pockey, if you find something that works please do let us
know as I'm sure that other would be interested in doing something
similar.

Thanks,
Pockey

What about just using Gtalk?
Its not open source, but it is free software!
I guess you meant voice/video over jabber, which is what
gtalk uses and
what Empathy can also do.
Empathy can work fine for this I guess. But likely telepathy
developers
can suggest something else. Maybe even a hardcoded program
only for this
event. AFAIK there was work on multiuser video chat.
