Overview
Currently installing on Dart.
BBB is a conferencing system, it supports what I need to replace Google Hangouts. It is a "learning conference system" which means it is designed for delivering presentations over the Internet (like a classroom).
Some features
- Audio conference (via freeswitch)
- Presenter and viewers can share output of web cam.
- Presenter can display slides, and mark them up.
- Presenter can mute viewer microphones, and lock them in muted mode.
- Presenter can yield control to a viewer.
- Presenter can share desktop (requires Java)
Pros
Requires either Firefox or Chrome browser and no extra plugins are required. Except for sharing desktop which requires Java, nothing else need be installed.
Cons
Server installation is relatively complex. Might want to run the virtual image. Trying a build from git source tree first.
Prerequisites
Vis yum install
- nginx 1.0.15
- redis 2.4.10
- swftools 0.9.1
- ImageMagick 6.5.4.7
- libreoffice allows sharing docs by converting them to PDF
- libyaml libyaml-dev (for supporting gem in ruby)
nginx migration
http://www.if-not-true-then-false.com/2011/install-nginx-php-fpm-on-fedora-centos-red-hat-rhel/

service httpd stop service nginx start service php-fpm start chkconfig httpd off chkconfig nginx on chkconfig php-fpm on
php-mapscript will need to be recompiled
