[REBOL] Re: RebCon 2008

James,
I've got 20 rooms set up already that I use to do live online music
lessons on a daily basis. I think the existing format of those rooms
could work very well as they stand. I'll create a special room just
for Rebol Devcon. I'd like to show you what I've got, to see if it'd
work for your needs. The audio/video conference software works on
PC/Mac/Linux, in any browser that has a fairly recent version of the
flash plugin installed (I believe version 6 onward will work - 8+ will
definitely work). Aside from flash, there's no installation required
to use the system - just go to the designated web page. It will allow
anyone in the room to take turns jumping onto the mic/camera to speak
(admin can ban unwanted users), there's a text chat, and I've got a
really simple way of sharing screen shots already installed in the
existing room setup. It should take only a minute or 2 to show
presenters how it works...
I've being doing daily live online music lessons as a part of my
commercial music lesson business for the past 4.5 years, and this
system is the most stable and simple that I'm aware of. It'll work
through just about any router/firewall configuration, and it's dead
simple to use - visitors just go the url, and they'll hear and see the
speaker. If they want to be seen on camera and speak, they just need
to have a web cam and microphone installed and working. If flash is
running in the browser, it'll work immediately, no download or
installs to do.
There's a video that I send to students which explains a little about it:

The online lesson page for my business, which has basic info about web
cams, microphones, and headphones, is here:

Please let me know if you have any questions :)
