James, I've got 20 rooms set up already that I use to do live online music =20 lessons on a daily basis. I think the existing format of those rooms =20 could work very well as they stand. I'll create a special room just =20 for Rebol Devcon. I'd like to show you what I've got, to see if it'd =20 work for your needs. The audio/video conference software works on =20 PC/Mac/Linux, in any browser that has a fairly recent version of the =20 flash plugin installed (I believe version 6 onward will work - 8+ will =20 definitely work). Aside from flash, there's no installation required =20 to use the system - just go to the designated web page. It will allow =20 anyone in the room to take turns jumping onto the mic/camera to speak =20 (admin can ban unwanted users), there's a text chat, and I've got a =20 really simple way of sharing screen shots already installed in the =20 existing room setup. It should take only a minute or 2 to show =20 presenters how it works...
I've being doing daily live online music lessons as a part of my =20 commercial music lesson business for the past 4.5 years, and this =20 system is the most stable and simple that I'm aware of. It'll work =20 through just about any router/firewall configuration, and it's dead =20 simple to use - visitors just go the url, and they'll hear and see the =20 speaker. If they want to be seen on camera and speak, they just need =20 to have a web cam and microphone installed and working. If flash is =20 running in the browser, it'll work immediately, no download or =20 installs to do. There's a video that I send to students which explains a little about it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3D_sx5qI0GWig The online lesson page for my business, which has basic info about web =20 cams, microphones, and headphones, is here: http://rockfactory.us/OnlineLessons.html Please let me know if you have any questions :) - Nick Quoting Nick Antonaccio <[email protected]>: > > > Hi James, > > If someone will email me personally, I can start putting together some =3D= 20 > suggestions about how to organize and manage the presentation.
