Re: Video conferencing application
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!

AFAIK there was work on multiuser video chat. -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list

open source bridge/ oscon / northwest linuxfest
So, March - August I believe is going to have a number of conferences in the northwest. (U.S.) and I am planning on putting in presentations for Gnome 3 for each of the conferences in the subject line. The first I believe is in March with open source bridge which seems to be a pretty good fit. I would like to start working with people on getting some idea of what Gnome 3 will look like by March and then figure out how to put out a presentation. I have approximately 3 months to put together the materials. sri -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list
Re: open source bridge/ oscon / northwest linuxfest
Hi Sri, I'll be happy to work on it with you. I think I'm going to update my GNOME 3 presentation I gave at OLF last year and do it at SCALE this coming February so I'll have some content for you.

Re: Video conferencing application
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...

I remember looking for such a solution for Linux Plumbers Conference. We had gotten a government official as a keynote (which ultimately fell through) and he would only do it via video conferencing. I knew then that our video conferencing fu is not very strong and that was a year ago as it was nearly impossible to find something that would work especially following the standard video conferencing protocols that the government was using. Meh. Talk to Zaheer, he might know as well. He's been doing some work with setting up Fluendo (although he no longer works for them). I'm not aware of anybody else doing anything with video conferencing. But it's a big hole in free desktops. sri -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list

It's a bit more complicated but could work. I'll continue search in that direction and see what can easily be deployed. I guess a page listing all the available streams on that day would work very well too.
