Re: [Osdc-list] Open Source Webinar/Webcast Platform?

[Jason Hibbets <jhibbets redhat com>]

Keep in mind, that we need normal, everyday people to be able to easily 
participate. Asking them to launch multiple media to be able to view a 
webinar is just too cumbersome and creates barriers for people to join. 
Our request is very generic on this topic and I'm sure if we've had a 
chance to sit down an clearly identify the list of must have's and nice 
to have's as Karsten points out.

In my mind, someone joining a webinar should be able to click one URL 
and get a presentation, audio, and chat / Q&A experience delivered 
through their browser. We are looking to make sure we have an open 
source solution on the backend of that, powering the user experience.
