[Bradford] BCB: Conferencing

[Brian]

I installed Everpad a short while ago on Ubuntu with the Unity desktop. It fits well into the dash. However, GNOME 3 is my desktop of choice and it doesn't work in that. 

The main thing I dislike about Unity is the common menu on the top panel. You can have a small window in the bottom right of your screen and you have to move your mouse up the the top left to enter the menu. It's also necessary to remember to focus on the window of choice before attempting to use the menu.

I'm biased here as I'm involved in etherpad but check out

http://beta.etherpad.org/p/bradlug

features:
real time collaborative editing
video conferencing

there is no "sketch" area for doodles etc which is a bummer however I know of a service we can use for that but it's flash based ;(

OK, What about Zimbra then? VMware are doing their own corporate version of it so it must have some merits. However, it could be that the standard Zimbra is like comparing Fedora with Ubuntu. Having not tried it I wouldn't know.

It's also a complete pain to install and often randomly gives terrible audio quality for no apparent reason.  Unfortunately it's the best of a bad bunch in terms of open source web conferencing systems.

I have found a few collaboration tools on line. I haven't really studied this one very much as yet but it may be worth considering. It appears to be intended for the education sector but it might be useful for our purposes.
