Re: Alternatives for online events scenarios
Hi Jonathan, The simplest solution I see is you have a 2core server(dedicated CPU if you are using one of those cloud providers) and install nginx + nginx-rtmp. Nginx RTMP lets you store recordings and play them back using videojs in a html5 page. This should solve your problem of streaming to a free software platform using OBS. This link is a decent getting started. [1]https://docs.peer5.com/guides/setting-up-hls-live-streaming-server-u sing-nginx/ For publishing your recording, a good way is to take your recording and upload to one of the peertube([2]https://joinpeertube.org/) or mediagolblin ([3]https://mediagoblin.org/). Both are amazing decentralized free software tools. Hope that helps.

We prefer as much as possible free and privacy respecting platforms. We tested BigBlueButton and Jitsi Meet (in meet.jit.si) and choose Jitsi Meet as we think it's easier to use for people and we like its UI layout more. (We believe BBB is great too, and use it for other kind of events where we use the board, for example). Up to now, we've run a couple of pilot conferences with few users (around 20). Now, we'll start to open the invitation for everyone. I know Jitsi Meet (and any platform) has a limit on number of people. I think we could perfectly invite around a hundred people, but that way we'll get to the limit of Jitsi Meet (at least in its free service). In some forums I've read they mention around 70 people, but not everyone with cams. I'm thinking on using some kind of registration form and send the meeting link to those users a couple of hours before the time of the event. Any recommendations for this?. I could as well just ask for a reply email to register. To make the event open for everyone, I'm planning on live streaming it with OBS. I don't want to use Youtube or Facebook live. Any recommendations to alternatives? or maybe a custom server for that. And the last alternative would be a platform to upload the recordings. Is there any usable alternative to Youtube?. I've researched in internet search engines, but I'd like to read more personal experiences and opinions. Thanks for any help. -- ___ libreplanet-discuss mailing list [4]libreplanet-discuss@libreplanet.org [5]https://lists.libreplanet.org/mailman/listinfo/libreplanet-discuss Cheers -- Ram voidspace.xyz n...@voidspace.xyz References 1. https://docs.peer5.com/guides/setting-up-hls-live-streaming-server-using-nginx/ 2. https://joinpeertube.org/ 3. https://mediagoblin.org/ 4. mailto:libreplanet-discuss@libreplanet.org 5. https://lists.libreplanet.org/mailman/listinfo/libreplanet-discuss ___ libreplanet-discuss mailing list libreplanet-discuss@libreplanet.org https://lists.libreplanet.org/mailman/listinfo/libreplanet-discuss
Re: Recommendations of LMS
Hi Jonathan, I have recently started using OpenEdX ([1]https://github.com/edx/edx-platform) and been pretty impressed with it. OpenEdX is the same code that power edx.org . There are 2 limitations that come with openedx 1. It only supports ubuntu 16.04 (tough docker containers are available)[Not Recommended] 2. It is quite resource heavy(Requires MySQL, Mongo, Elastic with python + Django) Considering your running environment, I would recommend you Moodle(Moodle.org) On Wed, 05 Aug 2020 13:54:17 +0530 Jean Louis wrote * Jonathan Sandoval <[2]cloudneoz...@gmail.com> [2020-08-04 17:55]: > So, my question is: what LMS that respects freedom would you > recommend?.

As I have not tried none of them, I cannot recommend none, yet there is the list of Learning Management Systems: [3]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_learning_management_systems Myself, when creating Learning Management System I would specifically demand that computers users, learners, use a dedicated computer that runs free operating system, and then I would prefer one local network database, we can think of it as a school centralized database, and one remote database for task assignments and collection of data. Data from remote database would be transferred to centralized database. I would then mostly use Emacs and various free software tools for task assignments and collection. For example LaTeX equations could be prepared by using TeXmacs and submitted through Emacs, not necessarily browsers. There would be no exclusion of some possible tool that can help in learning and no limitation to browser environment only.
