Hi All,
That's super, just the news I was hoping for. I've just installed this
at my first client. They're a small company with four offices across
the US, and would like to use this for company meetings. They've also
expressed and interest to do some sales webinars with their customers to
share new product info. Maybe you should write that up for your
website, it helped me.
So far, it works great... I have one glitch where a person is delayed in
the conversation, about 2 seconds behind. At first, I suspected their
older VPN connection they were all surfing through. But then a Skype
call worked without delay, so that didn't make much sense. So, I no
longer think it's a latency issue on the VPN network, my next step is to
check out the offending client, his Flash Player version, and any
Anti-Virus/Firewall software he may have.
Any clues to a 2 second delay, and what's interesting, it might be only
downstream, because I hear my own voice in the remote computer's
speakers (although I was wearing a headset, he couldn't hear his own
voice, delayed)
Any offending software on WinXP or Win7 that causes problems?
Thanks,
Jon

Hi,
we have done tests with 120 people in conferene room type
"restricted". With 2-3 presenters audio/video + screensharing. There
was no possibility to test with more users as we had no more
ressources / computers available.
Additionally we have done tests with a customer that runs webinars 250
people in a single room, roomtype "retricted". Customers could fill a
feedback form after the webinar with a section for techincal problems.
Result was, that some users did report they had issues in loading the
initial slide of the conference room.
That started when there was more then 200 people arriving at the same
second/minute in the restricted room.
So the results so far are that restricted room type can handle max 150
users, the bottleneck as result of the tests are:
1) As the others explained, your hadrware and server bandwidth of course
2) At some point the number of users arriving at the same second in
the conference room, so you should not invite 10.000 people for 9.00
p.m. in the conference room, as if 1000 people at _exactly_ 9.00 and 0
seconds click on the conference room this can lead to a problem
3) There are no test results available for more then 250 people, so
far there have been no technical reason to say "more then 250 people
is not possible" but just because there has been no test with more
then 250 physical browser windows loggedin into a single conference room.
4) The roomtype desigend for large meetings is room type "restricted"
it has a special implementation of the user list that buffers incoming
users before re-rendering the user-list to prevent the problems with
the 50 or 100 users arriving at the same time. Also the user-list type
is different as it uses some paging mechanism to only render the
visible area. Roomtype "conference" and "audience" do not have those
optimizations.

Hi Jon,
We are starting with openmeetings and therefore cannot come up
with “real life” experiences so far. However, we tested the system
and from a technical perspective it doesn’t prevent you from
having 100 or more attendees.
The challenge with such amounts of attendees is not the system and
even not really the hardware –though a dedicated server with at
least 8G is preferred- but the bandwidth you have.
Bandwidth here means the bandwidth the server has, as it has to
stream the data to each attendee. This is the biggest bottleneck
in the whole process and not the system or even the hardware.

Hi Norbert,
It means... in non-technical terms, who's holding meetings, how
many people...
Real examples.
For instance... My name is Fred, I hold weekly web-seminars or
webinars with over 100 people, it works great.
Who is using this? Share an anonymous story of how it's going.
Don't worry, you don't have to prove it, you're not on the hook.
I have a server with unlimited bandwidth on a meter, and 8G of RAM
on a 4 processor CPU, with 64bit Ubuntu LTS Lucid, anybody have
something close to tell me what I can expect.

Hey,
I'm new to OpenMeetings, seems great. But I haven't pushed the
system.
If you would...
1. What's your largest meeting?
What can your werver handle= (bandwith etc.)
2. Webinar or Interactive Meeting?
Uhm what do you mean by webinars?
3. Rough or Avg Video Settings?
? If that means how big a video you can send, the answer is
depends on you upload bandwidth (means is not an issue of
openmeeetings but your capability to feed=
4. Server size, rough?
Depends on what you want. But do not start below 2 GB of
dedicated space (unless recoding is nothing you want to do=
5. How long?
How long what?
Thanks,
Jon
