The initial offer from Philippe Galvez for Fermi would be ballpark $10k for an annual subscription, based on our usage from last year which was about 1100 meetings.  Richard would like to compare that to WebEx or GoToMeeting. Alternatively if you buy as you go, the person setting up the meeting is designated the "moderator" and is responsible to pay for the meeting in "SeeVogh" credits.  60 minutes is the minimum meeting time.  Right now 1 hour is 54 credits.  Once the meeting has started, you cannot be refunded, even if you do not use up the full allotted time.  This wouldn't be an issue if we had a subscription.

Demo with Bob May, 2012

Joanne was completely unable to connect from three different machines:  Mac OS 10.4 (too old), Ubuntu netbook (JAVA issue?), and RHEL5 (possibly due to a need for a native OpenGL driver).

Bob provided a nice demo of the video features of SeeVogh, including desktop sharing.  Having a wired connection was vital to use the video at all, and even so, my DSL connection was not quite up to the task of keeping the desktop share usable.

First Test May 7, 2012

Responses from Philippe:

(1) Anders's video Linux issue: I can see that it is looking for the
libjawt.so lib. You can see some hints at

or https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=124432Image Removed)

(2) Anders's audio Linux issue: The code is the same as for EVO. He may
need to select the correct driver via the down arrow close the mic icon.

(3) Meeting recurrence: Not in this version but will come.

(4) Audio fading during the first sentence was probably due to the
autogain adjustment where the audio may be saturated and then adjusted.
You may want to check your input mike level on your Mac Audio Settings.

(5) Audio/Video unmuted was done on purpose as most new comers were
confused when not on. But this is configurable and will be adjustable
depending of the customers.

(6) Video streams is limited to 50 (low quality) maximum and will be
contained to some defined bandwidth and video will be configurable too.
The participants list will increase with a side bar when space is needed.

(7) The "Red Cross" missing button is something we are looking to add
going forward.

(8) When a meeting is over, the meeting is stopped but obviously some
mechanism to extend it will be build as we progress.

(9) If the moderator leaves then it doesn't affect the meeting at all

(10) Leaving the meeting means leaving the application

(11) For now, you have no function to list the ongoing meetings.

(12) We have a concept of "Corporate account" that will include all
members of an organization/group. That something we can demonstrate to
you if you want.

(13) You can moderate (mute, unmute, ...) the meeting by selecting your
name in the participant list and enter the moderator keys.
