The first priority currently is a new OpenMeetings release. Most problems are recordings and calendar bugs. Currently there is one opened bug about the recordings in this area, all the the others have been fixed recently. But still need testing of the changes.
German is happy with the recent news: his project is accepted into Google Summer of Code 2012. Currently simple case of the integration OpenMeetings with TeamBox is finished, so user can get to the available project room list in teambox and go to the selected room. Nearest task is to improve GUI and prepare demo-video for press-releases.
OpenMeetings has been successfully integrated with the Jabber service for one of the client. Now Denis is writing instructions about the jitsi plugin configuring and how to work with this.
Here is a roadmap for the nearest time from Sebastian: make more testing and fix found bugs (if any), resolving licensing issues (some used images are not under Apache license), marketing and PR messages, release.
Sebastian supposes that release will be promoted in 2-3 weeks!
TeamBoxplugin discussion. It’s impossible to make direct
OpenMeetings SOAP/REST API calls inside JavaScript functions because
client browsers do not allow cross-domain calls by the security policy.
Several decisions are possible. Several decisions are possible here: for
example to use iFrames or to make such calls
from the TeamBox server side. So there are two
tasks for German: 1). To clarify if we can write
our own server code in TeamBox and 2). To
develop universal JavaScript widget for OpenMeetings and check it into svn (in Apache or googlecode).
Prices for the
OpenMeetings hosting on Scalaxy still look too
high and need to be optimized. Irina will write a post on dataved.ru and
discuss this with the community.
Team
infrastructure changes: since April, 16 Timur and Olga go to another
projects; Maxim and Irina start to work full time.
Red5 phone is
installed on the Russian demo servers (Thanks Timur!)
JabberService is
open sourced and installed to one client (Thanks Maxim!)
Sebastian works
on the GUI improvements, so OpenMeetings will look much better soon!
Denis tries to
optimize disk usage by OpenMeetings. OM demo server was configured so that
recordings are stored on S3 Amazon Server, now we can offer this to the
clients as an additional service. Denis also found that documents are
converted and stored in the same folder, and this is not optimal. But
Sebastian told that this should not be so. Agreed to continue a discussion
via e-mail (Denis should write a letter with a brief description of the
found problems)
There are still
some unclear points regarding the current hosting policy. Table with the
hosting services description and prices would be ready on this week
(Maria).
Team
infrastructure changes: Timur goes to another project since April,9; Maxim and Irina work full time for the project
since April, 16. Anton Smirnov is a developer who probably will continue
SIP/VOIP integration implementing and mobile devices support
investigating.
