Any interest in a webinar covering the education cluster of CK-ERP ?
C K Wu
I am wondering if there is any interest among discussion group members
to attend a web seminar that would explain the various functions and
features of the new education cluster of CK-ERP. If there is sufficient
expression of interest, I'll start planning the web seminar.
Since I am still a poor open source developer, I'll most likely be using
the FOC facilities of dimdim.com, so it would be a small web seminar
with participants restricted to <20.

I am afraid you are the only one that express an interest to join the webinar. After a bit of reflection, I decided to go ahead with the webinar. Hopefully, when full detail of the webinar is available, more people will decide to participate.

I have bad news.
Initially, I intended to set up a dimdim webmeeting and use webpage
sharing to demostrate step-by-step how CK-ERP will function within a
web-based Moodle environment. I had tested the setup and everything was
working fine video-/audio-wise. However, with the latest round of
dimdim system upgrade, webpage sharing was silently dropped. Large
number of Linux users were complaining to no avail. This is important
because dimdim does not support linux screen sharing, ie the presenter
cannot share his/her screen if the local machine is running a linux desktop.
However, there appears to be an alpha quality dimdim plugins for linux
screen sharing somewhere. Some says it works. Some says it doesn't.
I'll try things out over the next few days. While I can use a M$
windows desktop to conduct the presentation, it would seem totally
stupid to use M$ windows to demo a Linux-only application. This have to
be the very very very last resort, or perhaps I'll go for some other
webmeeting setup, ditching dimdim altogether.
Would post further info in a few days' time.
Best Regards,
CK

I hate to raise up my neglectful self to make a comment, but would a
better vehicle for your endeavor be a Moodle Course? A course or
courses on CK? I so hate webinars. I never have the right audio/video
gear or codecs and there's no dough-nuts.
Perhaps the chat function in Moodle could be put to use. Keep up the
good works. I'll try to catch up with you later.

Nice to hear from you. You are absolutely right. The Moodle course(s)
is/are the final goal. The webinar is an interim step to gather
interactively feedbacks on the Education cluster so the content of the
Moodle course(s) will be more useful to the course consumers. I'll
certainly check out the chat function within Moodle to see how it can be
utilized.

Finally, I have sort of some good news to report.
1. The dimdim linux screen sharing plugin does not work. I have
tried it in Ubuntu and Fedora. Both cases ended up in failure.
2. I tried a workaround. I installed Wine within Fedora at machine
A. Using Wine, I installed Win/Firefox and dimdim's (M$ Windows) screen
sharing plugin. It worked. I could start a meeting using
Wine/Win/Firefox, shared my linux desktop screen A. With a separate
machine B, running linux desktop, I could join the meeting using any
browser (even Opera, Linux version) and see the shared screen A.
Machine B was able to hear the audio fed from machine A. Machine B did
not need to download any thing, but I suspect the browser needs to
support flashplayer 10 (or +). However, there was one major drawback.
The whole environment was very unstable. The system hanged upon some
simple non-standard actions, like expanding to full screen mode.
3. While searching for a better solution, I stumbled upon
freebinar.com, which had just gone out of beta at around June this
year. It is basically a free web conferencing service, but participants
will have to see online advertisements. I tried it out. It worked very
well against my linux desktop. The online ads did not seem too
distracting. I solved some nasty tricky problems at the presenter
side. At the same time, participant machines would have to download
some java apps, which might cause compatibility issues with some linux
desktops.
Overall, I decide to go for freebinar, with dimdim, serving as a
backup. I'll start a separate thread to describe what the proposed
webinar will look like, and perhaps arrange for a trial session to see
if there is any major hardware/software problems to overcome.
