So the reason I've helped with the mumble-server, is that I believe it fills a gap in communication in the crypto sphere and bitshares especially.
We have mumble for hangouts with virtually no restriction in number of attendees and very low bandwidth requirements for each individual. Couple of advantages it has compared to google-hangouts and youtube is that it's still accessible from China. We had high hopes that it would enable hundreds of people to hold meetups and who knows we might get there yet.
I've been looking for ways to add to the experience and one thing I feel is missing from mumble is a way to do presentations or webinars. I've looked around and I've found two possible solutions. First one a google-hangout style audio-videoconferencing server, with screen/tab sharing. Second option a BigBlueButton-server, which is tailor made for doing online classes, presentations and such.
They won't be able to replace mumble I think, because of the increased bandwidth required and far lower number of simultaneous users. Then again, a webinar probably won't work with an overly large number of participants. I personally like
BigBlueButton the most, but I'd like some input from the community which they feel is more useful.
The first option is light enough on the server requirements that I might be able to add it to the current mumble-server. The BigBlueButton server has some beefy system requirements and would most likely require us to move to a different server and probably a higher monthly bill.
So my question is two fold, which option do you think is the preferable or most useful? In case enough people like the BigBlueButton-server, does anybody have a recommendation for an affordable high bandwidth server with a minimum of 4 cores, 4Gigs of ram, a lot of storage space for recordings and high enough data-limit to allow for videostreaming.
