Bug#691978: RFP: bigbluebutton -- Open Source Web Conferencing
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
BigBlueButton is an open source web conferencing system developed
primarily for distance education.
BigBlueButton supports multiple audio and video sharing, presentations
with extended whiteboard capabilities - such as a pointer, zooming and
drawing - public and private chat, desktop sharing, integrated VoIP
using FreeSWITCH, and support for presentation of PDF documents and
Microsoft Office documents. Moreover, users may enter the conference in
one of two roles: viewer or moderator.
As a viewer, a user may join the voice conference, share their webcam,
raise their hand, and chat with others. As a moderator, a user may
mute/unmute others, eject any user from the session, and make any user
the current presenter. The presenter may upload slides and control the
presentation.
