World: r3wp

just to join the dots.....There is also a DevCon2008 thread on the 
Mailing List:

http://www.rebol.org/ml-display-message.r?m=rmlGHZC

Nick, that's cool stuff. One question: do you use the Flash Media 
server with a custom app or  an Adobe solution (Acrobat connect pro)?

Maarten, it's FMS with a custum app (one that I've only tweaked slightly 
- not my creation).  Reichart, I worked for a long time towards a 
Rebol videoconference solution, and this just d

completely beat any of my efforts.  It has opened some new interesting 
doors for me, though (now learning Openlaszlo,  Red5 server, some 
Java, and Openmeetings - that's the next best platform and bit of 
 software for this type of work).  I'd love to do more work on Rebol 
videoconferencing some day.  I think it'd be a killer app...

This is my first time posting to Altme - I'm comfortable communicating 
here to organize Devcon activities.  A group demo may be the easiest 
way to prepare, if we can find a convenient common time.  I'm in 
Eastern time zone - during the week, I'm typically free late mornings, 
early afternoons, and then again after 10pm.   I can be reached by 
email at nick ---a t---  musiclessonz ---d o t--- com for anything 
personal :)

Nick, glad to finally see you post.  I assume you usually monitor 
the web output of the this world.  I hope we do eventually get a 
video conferencing solution in REBOL.  I don't see it happening before 
REBOL3 hits though.

just a note - DevCon 2009 is going to happen in Prague, Czech Republic 
- the real devcon, not the virtual one :-)

as for video and REBOL, we are wrapping ffmpeg, so many video formats. 
But of course, having streaming server is completly different topic. 
And yes, video for R3 will be a killer app ...

Thanks for the update Pekr.

Paul - this is private project so far, not related to R3, just to 
be clear ....

Hi Paul - yes, I've been lurking via html :)  Off topic:  I dabbled 
a bit with the Windows API and have a simple working webcam viewer, 
and also a working remote video client that produces usable video 
from simple image refreshes.  I need to explore the audio api to 
understand how to capture and pass audio frames across the net - 
I've got plenty of code from other languages - just need  to convert 
all those api calls to Rebol and see if there are any performance 
issues, but I suspect that a very simple point-to-point app like 
that could work in Rebol2.  To make it practical for real use, there'd 
need to be a little server/repeater app to pass data back and forth 
between clients that are behind routers.  Not so crazy difficult, 
I don't think...

Pekr, it's great to hear that you're wrapping ffmpeg!

To prepare for Devcon, I made a sign up form for 3 dates/times that 
I'm available to do group demo/prep work.  Please add your name if 
you'd like to meet at any of those times.   http://rockfactory.us/events/devcon.html
 .  The meeting room will be http://rockfactory.us/rooms/room20. 
 I'll confirm the times/dates at the above page, once a few people 
have signed up.

NickA, I hope we don't lose you to cyberspace again and you continue 
to contribute here.

Username/Password for the room will be devcon/devcon

I'm as grateful as ever for Rebol, and for this community - like 
many, I've just been consumed by my work schedule...

Well at least you got work Nick.  That is a nice blessing right now.

I'm looking forward to watching Rebol evolve with R3, and hoping 
to play a part :)\

That's true!

Well I'm looking forward to a virtual Devcon.

Great news! Thanks Nick.

A sign up checklist was created to find out who is interested in 
joining us.

We've already got 4 sign ups for next Wednesday, December 17th, noon 
EST, so I've marked it as a confirmed event, and I'll plan on being 
online then to help show how to use the system :)

I have a dental apointment about 1 our in, but will make the first 
part.

Cool stuff...

I'm looking forward to talking with everyone :)*****************

We will be in room20 ( http://rockfactory.us/rooms/room20), and 
the username/password will be devcon/devcon.


Beforehand, to see how the page works, please watch the 10 minute 
YouTube video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_sx5qI0GWig(very 
important if you're presenting, to avoid lots of little troubles!) 
*****************

Please let me know if there are any questions!

I look forward to meeting and learning more as well...

Cool, just signed up.

Hi Maarten :)   I don't see your name in the list at http://rockfactory.us/events/devcon.html...

LOL, I added it to the tracker here. Ignorant little (little?) me.....

There I am... Really looking forward to this.

I hope the system supports everyone's needs :)

Anyone who wants to speak with me or others on Wednesday should have 
a microphone and headphones already attached to the computer.  Please 
use headphones instead of speakers to avoid echo (echo can get to 
be a really big problem without headphones).  To test your setup, 
including your audio/video, please use this page:  http://rockfactory.us/videos/videogallery_viewer.html
.  Please let me know if you have any questions!

I'll see everyone at noon EST today at http://rockfactory.us/rooms/room20
.  Please have your mic and headphones ready to go!

I'll hopefully be there, I just found out that they are doing maintenance 
on my ADSL this evening. So if I am not there or disapper, you know 
why.

Maarten, if you're there and need to leave quickly, maybe you can 
try out out the system first - it shouldn't take too long to see 
how everything works.  I'll try to get together another time for 
those who can't make it today.

Cool.

anyone there?

I am

Doesn't work for me, but my connection starts to get flaky. AltME 
works though

Let me try again

Looking for my password...

Got it devcon/devcon

I hear and see Nick perfectly.

See Gab.

- Times Roman font on front page (needs a better looking welcome 
page)
- Stealing Vista UI on video is a copyright infringement.

- Bottom controls (just under 3 video frames) were hidden when I 
first came in (I needed to pull the iframe down).
- "Who is online" needs to be a list on the left side.

- The chance to send video took about 3 minutes, so I did not see 
how to do this.  The video box should say it will do this for you 
at some point.

We are jumping form room 20 to room 21
