[Halld-tagger] working group meeting this AM at 11:30EST

[Richard Jones]

Photon working group,

We have our regular biweekly meeting on ESnet/Seevogh this morning.  Please
find the draft agenda in the usual place on the wiki, and update it as
needed.

Most of you are already aware that you can join these meetings on your
android phone using an app that Polycom distributes for the android
platform.  Now Cisco/Polycom has come out with an app for the desktop or
laptop that allows you to directly connect to these meetings without needed
to connect up to seevogh first, and wait for the bridge.  The app is called
"Jabber".  Versions are freely downloadable for either Windows or the Mac.
 I have not been able to find an equivalent app for linux so far.

To connect using Jabber, first install the client, then connect using the
address:

8542553 at es.net   <----<< just es.net, not gk.es.net

It will directly connect you to the meeting, and allow you to enable your
microphone and video camera, or let you share your screen over the meeting
video uplink.  You connect just like anyone else with a polycom unit, and
do not need to wait for someone to set up the bridge connection.  Muting
your microphone when you are not speaking is probably still required,
unless you are wearing a headset.

Call me if you have trouble making it work.  860-377-5224.  One drawback is
that Jabber does not work behind a NAT router, so if you check and your IP
address is something like 192.168.x.y then Jabber is not going to get any
audio or video from the meeting -- unless you set up for yourself a vpn
connection to a real network.  Then it does work behind a router, as I have
verified.
