welcome friends of remote partizipating and to all IETF members in bejing
whats new in the remote partizipants / multiconferencing world ?
Google aquired marratech a few years ago [ 1 ] , cisco aquired webex , [ 2 ]
paltalk aquired camfrog [ 3 ]
Adobe unveils Connect 8 Web and videconferencing tool set [ 4 ], Xcast is
there but very quiet [ 5 ]
VP8 a fantastic codec is there, its opensource [ 6 ] Nokia bought Trolltech
and its opensource now [ 7 ]
#Ipv6 is on the way, will there be ipv6 multicast ?
Who wants to pay 70.000 $ per year for webex, who wants to pay 40.000 $ per
year for a so called "opensource" multiconferencing like DIMDIM ?
Who wants to pay 1295 $ per month for a paltalk room ?
So there is still no "cool" functioning opensource multi - conferencing out
there for the masses after 10 years . !
We´ve made a little feature list about what we think , what might be "cool".
Feel free to edit the document without registration and tell us what you think
is necessary and required to make it a step ahead http://on.let.de/aWfo0M
I am looking forward for some comments and insights about why only cisco/
polycom/ tandberg / radvision tells us that
" Video/ multiconferencing at home " will be the next BIG thing.
regards
and warm greetings from germany
