[Sugar-devel] GSoC Proposal: Multimedia Broadcasting

[Geza Kovacs]

Hi all,

I am proposing a Multimedia Broadcasting activity for GSoC 2009, and
would appreciate any feedback or potential mentors. The idea is
described at:

This proposal is somewhat a variation on the standard audio-video
chatting concept; rather than having students audio-video chat
one-on-one, which would be redundant in a classroom where the person is
physically nearby, I believe broadcasting audio and video streams
displaying presentations or live experiments locally to the masses via
streaming on their laptops, thereby replacing the need to use
projectors, would be a good usage of the available video and audio
capture sources, in a classroom setting. For full details please read
the proposal.

Regards,
Geza
