Enhancement Request - Publish Currently Running Rooms #923

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
First of all thank you for this wonderful solution.  I'm finding useful, 
interesting possibilities for The Big Blue Button.

I'd like to suggest an enhancement.  Please consider this situation:

We have a large number of participants who will be gathering for a conference.  
See the web site: http://penguicon.org/.  I'm working on setting up a server to 
host the Big Blue Button for this event.  Many of the presentations and events 
will be running at the same time with possibly multiple people moving in and 
out.  Such a dynamic level of creation of new sessions will make it impossible 
to communicate the current presentations and events.  The current method of 
manually updating a main web page is cumbersome for such a 
large number of changes.

Can you provide a way to dynamically update a web page with the currently 
running sessions?   I see the create-a-room process provides the connection 
link information.   

Publishing this somehow so everyone can see it would be the answer.

Possible Solutions:
Simply providing a link on the main page to a HTML file that is a list of the 
link information for all created rooms may work.  This would contain stale 
information since closed rooms would still be listed. 

A more advanced approach would be to have a database that keeps track of the 
running rooms. The main page would then link to a dynamically created list of 
the rooms listed in 
the database.

I think one of the existing API example should work nicely.  See the Activity 
Monitor

   http://demo.bigbluebutton.org/bigbluebutton/demo/demo4.jsp

You can also create a landing page for your conference that has all the rooms 
pre-created.  See

   http://code.google.com/p/bigbluebutton/wiki/FAQ#Can_I_run_multiple_virtual_classrooms_in_a_single_BigBlueButton

Sounds like a great project.  If you need more help, please post to

Marking as Wont Fix as this type of interface can be implemented by a 3rd party 
application using the BigBlueButton API.
