NYCPHP Meetup

[Donna Marie Vincent]

Aren't webinars interactive?  The ones I've attended were.  There were multiple speakers and attendees could ask questions via audio or IM.  hwdvideoshare would not be able to handle them interactively.

For webinars, podcasts, and webcasts I'd suggest youtube hosted videos with hwdmediashare.  Note: put fee based ones off to phase 2, get things working with free services than move on.

I would USE Kaltura with it's Joomla plugin.  I would set it up using the commercial service, and then as a phase 1.5 setup my own private server using their open source version[and hopefully 1.5 will be stable by then]

For chatrooms and web conferencing, I would integrate ARSC:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/arsc/

It has hooks in the code for integration already.... does not do web conferencing or such, but you can grab code form some other chat servers[AjaxChat has nice sound/smiley integration, but otherwise has lagged behind].   

See http://plan.catskillcrafting.com/projects/mommychats for a list of what I am aiming for to make my wife happy.

 
2.How would we deal with the "confidential" ask the specialist?

Sobi, K2, Fabrik, or any other CCK component - most have a submit function that can be restricted to only a few people to view.

If your hosting video offsite, you should be fine with most anything.
