[caops-wg] CAOPs session at Berin meeting

[Yoshio Tanaka]

Dear all,

We will have a CAOPs session co-located with the EUGridPMA meeting in
Berlin.
Although the EUGridPMA meeting is a closed meeting, the CAOPS session
will be open to anyone.

The session will take place on September 15th (Tuesday), from 16:30 to
17:30 German Time (GMT+2).

Here is a proposed agneda:

- Relying Party Defined Namespace Constraints (David G)
- Auditing document (Yoshio)
- Agenda of the CAOPs/IGTF AllHands at OGF27

Here is a guideline of videoconferencing which was provided by Reimer
Karlsen-Masur of DFN:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have set up a VC number with the DFN video conference service for the 17th 
EUGridPMA meeting in Berlin <http://www.eugridpma.org/meetings/2009-09/> 
_including_ the adjacent JSPG meeting 
<http://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=63007> taking place from 
September 14th to September 17th 2009 for people wishing to participate in 
these meetings but who can't attend the meeting(s) in person.

You have several options to connect yourself to the VC, see below.

The presented content, e.g. slides or text documents, is brought to you via 
an Adobe Flash live stream, see below.

====
Connect to the VC ...

* With H.323 VC equipment like Polycom VC hardware that _is_ connected to
the Global Dialing System (GDS):

Use VC GDS dialstring: 004910097920354

* With H.323 VC equipment like Polycom VC hardware that _is not_ connected
to the Global Dialing System (GDS):

You can make of use of the public gatekeeper provided by DFN. In your VC
gear configure any arbitrary H.323 alias and E.164 number (phone number)
_and_ configure pgk.vc.dfn.de (or 194.95.240.220) as its gatekeeper then use
VC dialstring 004910097920354 to connect to the VC.

* With an Ekiga VC client by using the following URI:

h323:97920354 at mcu.vc.dfn.de

This is referred to as H.323-URI-dialing which is supported by Ekiga and our
MCUs - successfully tested with Ekiga running on a Linux system.

* By phone (POT) for a two-way audio-only connection to the VC:

Dial +49 30 2541080 then wait for the nice lady to ask for the conference
number, then enter 97920354 and finally enter a hash (#) key.

* By watching a video/audio stream in Realplayer/Quicktime format; browser 
plug-ins are needed (Quicktime has less slack); the stream is only available 
when the VC is running:

Go to <https://www.vc.dfn.de/en/konferenzen/streaming.html>

Enter the conference number 004910097920354 and conference password 1709. 
Then choose a nick for the chat and your stream player.

* By watching a video/audio stream with VLC:

VLC is also able to process the stream.

Go to <https://www.vc.dfn.de/en/konferenzen/streaming.html>

Enter the conference number 004910097920354 and conference password 1709. 
Then choose a nick for the chat and a stream player (even if you don't have 
that plug-in installed).

You need to extract the URL for VLC from the web-page's source code and 
paste it into the appropriate VLC dialog, the URL looks similar to 
<rtsp://mcu[1-6].vc.dfn.de/conf_h263_g711u_1536000__97920354>

====
Watch the content (slides, etc) presented:

* We will also try to provide a content channel for displaying the slides 
and for real-time community editing of documents via Adobe Acrobat Connect 
Pro Meeting utilizing an installed Adobe Flash browser plug-in:

Go to <https://www.vc.dfn.de/en/konferenzen/collaboration.html>

Enter the conference number 004910097920354 and conference password 1709 and 
choose a nick. A web page with Flash will open showing the digital content 
as live stream from the presenter.
