[jdev] vMeet - IETF meeting support
Folks, There's been, for a few weeks now, a discussion in the IETF about providing a good framework for IETF meetings - mostly interim meetings, which are meetings of around 30 people. The idea is to find product and/or technology to do these effectively. This is *not* a new protocol development team, this is purely infrastructure, but I'm sending this to Standards@ as well as jdev@ to get a better audience - if the vMeet people were given the suggestion of download FooClient this would be a fine response, and actually preferable to Implement XEP-9945. Still, I'd prefer, personally, to have some open standards, as well as implementation. The IETF has, for some time, used XEP-0045 to handle the text-based conferencing. The interesting question to me is whether we could get a few additional features relatively easily deployed in support of what they need. It looks like: 1) Multiway VOIP (with mixers). 2) Floor control, of some form. (Probably only affecting VOIP). This is basically to emulate the queue at the microphone, and the concept of a chair (ie, chairman) and various presenters, in serial. 3) Slide sharing. I'm actually seriously thinking that what they need is the simple ability to have a file sharing thing going on, then say what page of the PDF is currently shown. 4) Whiteboarding. Although it pains me to even mention the word, given what seems to happen every time the subject is raised. Does anyone have anything that does all this already?

I'm actually seriously thinking that what they need is the simple ability to have a file sharing thing going on, then say what page of the PDF is currently shown. Something like this is possible in Coccinella. Instructions: 1) Convert slides to image files 2) Open directory with images of slideshow in whiteboard 3) Use Next/Previous buttons Obviously, it would be even easier if Coccinella can open a PDF file and automatically convert this to image files. Patches are welcome! 4) Whiteboarding. Although it pains me to even mention the word, given what seems to happen every time the subject is raised. See above. Does anyone have anything that does all this already? Yup, at least 3 and 4. -- Mvg, Sander Devrieze. ___ JDev mailing list Forum: http://www.jabberforum.org/forumdisplay.php?f=20 Info: http://mail.jabber.org/mailman/listinfo/jdev Unsubscribe: jdev-unsubscr...@jabber.org ___
