Dear all,
Here is an update on the video conferencing and streaming tool:
justin.tv is selected for video streaming purpose, we will be using
it during our GNOME 3 parties in Hong Kong, Beijing and Taiwan.
A howto can found at http://live.gnome.org/VideoStreaming/JustinTv
(prepared by Max from Taiwan GNOME User Group) , feel free to modify
and improve the page.
I will encourage our registered parties to do similar video
streaming so we can celebrate the release together.
If you have other options of video streaming / conferencing tools,
please make a how-to and let me know. We can definitely recommend
more than one tool :)
Thanks,
Pockey

Dear all,
Yeah, we would definitely use video conferencing (and / or
broadcasting tool) to connect events from different venues
around the world.
What we have tested so far:
Ekiga -- cannot even make one on one video chat on the same
network, sip calls didn't work, and the only thing that we
managed to get working is voice in the conference room. just
wonder if anybody made Ekiga video chat work? what's the trick?
Tested some online services on Firefox or Chromium, Linux:
1) dimdim.com -- new plugin (they say it's compulsory) doesn't
work on Firefox Linux => for free / trial account. not able
to make even one on one work
2) webhuddle.com -- only support voice and we cannot make it
work
3) Yugma -- "invite contact" doesn't work on Linux
We are also testing and sourcing a reliable video / sound
broadcasting tool as well:
bigbluebutton --- cannot detect my camera, I guess it's a flash
issue...

Dear Dave, Diego,
Joey, Sriam,
Thank you for your help! I already gave all the suggestions
to the Taiwan GUG members and asked them to do some testing.
Will keep you posted of the result. Besides, they will
definitely let us know if they need further help!
Thanks, Pockey, if you find something that works please do
let us know as I'm sure that other would be interested in
doing something similar.

Thanks,

What about just using Gtalk?
Its not open source, but it is free software!
I guess you meant voice/video over jabber, which is
what gtalk uses and
what Empathy can also do.
Empathy can work fine for this I guess. But likely
telepathy developers
can suggest something else. Maybe even a hardcoded
program only for this
event. AFAIK there was work on multiuser video chat.
