[Building Sakai] Video + desktop streaming in Sakai

[Daniel Merino]

Hi, Wilhelm.

Recently we have been investigating the videoconference solutions in Sakai.

The spanish enterprise Samoo is developing actually an integration of 
Adobe Connect with Sakai, but I don't know the status of the project.

Wimba has also a project in Confluence for its integration with Sakai 
(http://confluence.sakaiproject.org/display/WIMBA/Home). It's relatively 
easy to install in a 2.5 server if you contact a Wimba partner who gives 
you several jar's and an user/password. We have it running in a test 
server and it's a great tool, but unfortunately is too expensive for a 
small institution like us. Also, the integration is limited to the users 
validation, it doesn't exist with the calendar or the resources, as the 
integration with Elluminate does (I think).

Adrian, we are also really interested in your progresses with BBB. 
Please, keep all us informed! ;-)

Another interesting open-source tool is Open Meetings, powered by 
Google, but I don't know if somebody has done something with it.

Best regards.
