Re: Anotherj RFP without IETF community input

Hi,

you might want to have a look at the Meetecho IETF sites (see, e.g., http://ietf81.conf.meetecho.com/), which contain session recordings and give you a flavour of what is currently available to remote participants. BTW, Meetecho is XCON, mediactrl, RTP and XMPP compliant. As far as I saw, most of the desiderata included in the RFP message might be satisfied with our platform, which, not by chance, has been conceived at the outset with an IETF-minded approach.

Right - the current system is XEP-0045 (an XSF thing) over XMPP (an
IETF thing), supplemented by MP3 over HTTP for audio. The chatrooms I
find fine - if anyone has suggestions for what else those need to do
I'd appreciate knowing (as would the rest of the participants in the
standards group at the XSF).

! Having audio fed over RTP would be an obvious first step, and that
could be negotiable by both XMPP and SIP clients.

As a remote participant for the vast majority of IETFs I've (not?)
attended, I'd humbly suggest that the most useful things a remote
participant can have are reasonably synchronized audio (instead of
several seconds delay, which makes timely responses difficult) and
ensuring that the chatrooms are visible in the physical room (thus
making all in-room participants aware of the chatroom's remote
participants and what their input is). A second projector and screen
in the room is embarrassingly low-tech, but very effective.

I can see the utility of having some kind of screencast thing for the
slides, although as a rule, I hate slides, so this comes a distant
third. Being able to downlaod them and sing along at home is just
fine.

I don't particularly care if my ac! tual voice isn't heard in the room.
I understand that many will miss my dulcet tones, of course, but the
thing I really want to be able to do, as a remote participant, is
participate.

Dave.
