We have an unwritten practice of kicking a SIG off with a video meeting, and having an occasional (4x/year?) of doing a video sync to work through things. Google Hangouts has been the choice as giving realtime read-only to a wide audience, instant meeting archive, etc.
In practice, how do you figure out which 10 people get a voice on the Google Hangouts? And how do I set up the meeting & promote it? I'm not very familiar with it in the "broadcast" mode, any help you can give would be welcome.
We can setup the session from the centos project account, that will auto record and live play on the centos project youtube channel.
Use #centos-devel on Freenode for regular IRC meetings, centbot is your meetbot instance. The only trick is that minutes are not posted live automatically, you need to ping Arrfab or Evolution to do that after the meeting. (Protection from spammers.)
We don't have enough going on that we cross each other on IRC, but it would be a good idea to a single wiki page that lists all regular meetings. I've got that on my todo list now to get up soonest.
Thanks, that all sounds great.
Has anyone tried BlueJeans for a broader video meeting yet? I like that you can access it with free software, and I like that it doesn't limit you at 10 active participants (I think we will get more than that).
I didnt realise the bluejeans plugins were opensource ? it does not work without it afaik.
In the past we've tried to run our own instance of bigbluebutton and openmeetings - neither of which are really finished enough to just-work. Jitsi is another option, and I spoke with them around running a centos specific instance - the resource requirements for large number of attendees (20+) tends to get fairly intense.
there are also a lot of webrtc options starting up like firefox hello - I've had no real luck in conversations that include more than 4 - 6 people on that.
