As long as you ensure that no-one can SPEAK in the conference, this should 
be just fine.

The Conference could be beamed out to a single Asterisk server (The 
Master) and then distributed via IAX2 and MeetMe to a bunch of servers in 
different area codes (The Slaves).

We do this all the time between my IAX2/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/4570 bridge, 
BKW's system and occasionally the NuFone MeetMe.

It would be trivial to coordinate. I can provide a high-bandwidth 
distribution point, and NuFone has offered the same. I don't see any 
reason why this can't be easily accomplished.

[Asterisk-Users] Astricon Conference Call?????????

2004-07-29 Thread Steve Woolley
I know this is probably way out there but

Would it be possible to set up a (Asterisk based) conference call (per
se) with the presentations at the upcoming Astricon conference via
IAXtel (or something similar) so that people who are not able to attend
could join a Meetme conference (listen only) and listen to the content.
There maybe bandwidth issues but this would certainly be an interesting
proof of concept.

I personally am planning on attending, but I know others may not.

That would be great

And for that kind of massive conference attendant, a app for * that can
receive an mp3 stream and transfor it as a channel feed for a conference
room, would be the solution.

I can provide a * server for the astricon with relative high bandwith, for
a parallel conference server...

If we can get reliable bandwidth out of the building, I can host such a

Hi All!

I would be happy to provide our Asterisk server for the users 
to dial in for the Conference.

We have enough bandwidth and the calls should go pretty smooth. Though Offcourse I 
would need some help in tweaking our server for the load.

Let me know if this would be of interest to the team.

2004-07-29 Thread Deon Rodden
Is it only the guest speakers your interested in listening to? Or is it
specific vendos as they show off their products or enhancements to the
crowd? With so much noise and people talking at Astricon, how do people in
the conference expect to hear any one conversation, or one topic?

However, I would be willing to dedicate some bandwidth and an Asterisk
server to assist with this cause, I can assign it a South Florida DID as
well.  We're an ISP w/ several DS3's and a 100mb NMLI.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Astricon Conference Call?

2004-07-29 Thread Deon Rodden
All you need is enough bandwidth to upstream one good signal, the users on
this list willing to donate bandwidth and equipment can then redistribute it
to the others. I don't think Dial up is a very good idea, but having access
to a shared T1 or even wireless internet access may be a possibility.

Another thing you could do is use a regular phone to call into a DID and
enter the conference, then everybody can join that conference and listen. No
bandwidth required, just a phone call to the distributor's Asterisk server.
Then just keep that phone near the person speaking, like a microphone.
