OpenMeeting Team Meeting Minutes 29-May-2012

Attendees

• Sebastian Wagner
• Alexei Fedotov
• Denis Kandrov
• German Grekhov
• Irina Arkhipets
• Maxim Solodovnik
• Yulia Algaier

Issues

1. Release 2.0 shipping. There is one blocking bug which should be fixed before the release of 2.0. This is a bug in Red5 (issue #295 in Jira and #224 in red5). RTMPT does not work because of this.

2. Maxim is currently working on the manual cluster implementation:

• Each room uses a separate server.
• The server IP added to each room description, users are directed to the specific server when they enter room.
• All servers use the same database - this makes all virtually on the same server.

Maxim will write an e-mail with the brief description of the possible cluster architectures into dev list.

3. German almost finished works with teambox plugin. Currently it’s possible to have OpenMeetings room for each project. Pablo also asked to do the same on the organizations level.

4. We need to store info about each commercial support e-mail and have some statistic about the commercial client requests. Irina will arrange another meeting with Sebastian and Alexei to discuss this.

5. Yulia Algaer has joined the project recently

• Denis Kandrov
• German Grekhov
• Irina Arkhipets
• Maria Stepanova
• Maxim Solodovnik

Issues

1. Release shipping: need to speed it up. Maxim starts to work on 8 opened OpenMeetings bugs

2. Teambox plugin works OK for German. Opened issues are:

• Check the sources into Apache svn (German)
• Contact with teambox guys about the future plans (German)
• Configure https access on demo.dataved.ru (Denis)
• Write an article on habrahabr (German, Denis, Irina)
• Beta-testing
• Opened question: authentication is implemented with php script and this probably can slow down OM server a little

3. Tunneling: it would be great to get rid of proxies in its implementation, but the details are currently unclear. Agreed to put it aside for a while.

4. Jitsy plugin is finished. Need to check the sources into open source branch.

5. Network checking script almost ready and includes the following (Denis):

• Latency and jitter checks (ping)
• Ports availability for 5080, 8088, 1935 (iPerf)
• Workload for the port 1935 (iPerf)

OpenMeeting Team Meeting Minutes 24-April-2012

Attendees

• Sebastian Wagner
• Denis Kandrov
• German Grekhov
• Irina Arkhipest
• Maria Stepanova
• Maxim Solodovnik

Issues

• 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!

Olga Golosova

Timur Tleukenov

Issues

1. TeamBox plugin 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).
2. 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.
3. Team infrastructure changes: since April, 16 Timur and Olga go to another projects; Maxim and Irina start to work full time.

Issues

1. Red5 phone is installed on the Russian demo servers (Thanks Timur!)
2. JabberService is open sourced and installed to one client (Thanks Maxim!)
3. Sebastian works on the GUI improvements, so OpenMeetings will look much better soon!
4. 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)
5. 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).
6. 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.
