Packaging request: BigBlueButton #82737

Closed jluttine closed 4 years ago

jluttine commented 4 years ago

Project description

From their GitHub page:

BigBlueButton is an open source web conferencing system.

BigBlueButton supports real-time sharing of audio, video, slides (with whiteboard controls), chat, and the screen. Instructors can engage remote students with polling, emojis, multi-user whiteboard, and breakout rooms.

Presenters can record and playback content for later sharing with others.

We designed BigBlueButton for online learning (though it can be used for many other applications).

Would be nice to have it packaged and then NixOS service definition, so one could easily set up a server running BBB.

Motivation: This is currently very useful because of schools and other facilities being closed and online conferencing/learning tools are needed.

Hello, I'm a bot and I thank you in the name of the community for opening this issue.

To help our human contributors focus on the most-relevant reports, I check up on old issues to see if they're still relevant. This issue has had no activity for 180 days, and so I marked it as stale, but you can rest assured it will never be closed by a non-human.

The community would appreciate your effort in checking if the issue is still valid. If it isn't, please close it.

If the issue persists, and you'd like to remove the stale label, you simply need to leave a comment. Your comment can be as simple as "still important to me". If you'd like it to get more attention, you can ask for help by searching for maintainers and people that previously touched related code and @ mention them in a comment. You can use Git blame or GitHub's web interface on the relevant files to find them.

Lastly, you can always ask for help at our Discourse Forum or at #nixos' IRC channel.
