This project [0] seems like it might be worthwhile and useful for a lot<br>
of folks . . . it seems that there are at least a few (?) webrtc-based<br>
free software alternatives to Google Hangouts, but implementing them is<br>
non-trivial and perhaps not neatly documented for interested users. It<br>
seems like working on a project like this (where we work to automate<br>
setup and configuration of the service on a cloud server) could also<br>
help us if we wanted to allow remote participation for some of our<br>
talks.<br>

The server component is currently only packaged for OpenSUSE (did I<br>
capitalize that correctly?), but the build instructions are well<br>
documented.<br>
<br>
I'd be interested in getting something like this set up, and it seems<br>
like it could be helpful for a lot of folks if we were able to get it<br>
going in an automated fashion. Would other folks be interested in this?<br>

P.S. This all comes about via an email thread on the GNOME Foundation<br>
mailing list. For interested parties, the conversation starts here:<br>

Jangouts might be something worth to give a try and keep an eye on it.<br>
<br>
It is a self-hosted solution that uses WebRTC and JavaScript. It has a<br>
MIT license.<br>
