[VBbuilders] Tools and Techniques

[Thompson, Steve]

Hi

Personally I want to try out tools and test their fitness for purpose. Skype does a lot now with added functionality such as desktop sharing. I designed a T Shirt with my Grandaughter 200 miles away using this remembering to quit desktop sharing as I entered my credit card to order it.

Hi Franz and Steve and The Silent Majority

I am glad some evaluation is being done. Although at the moment I feel that there are so many aspects its confusing for people - especially if they want free software. I note that most people seem to just drift to Google Docs (NB Google Wave) and Skype and if the features are not there then they just say oh well let's wait for them, (much in the way that people used to say if it was not available for Windows they wouldn't use it - and then when it's available they say how wonderful it is this new piece of Microsoft software!) So they are not videobridging capable.

For me I want to see 2 locations successfully using VideoBridging and then they can be providers as a pattern language for the others to copy.
TO my mind these can be Tamera (in Portugal - a research ecovillage) and (p2p Foundation (in Thailand) as they seem to have the necessary connections to reach the idea wider and are supportive of the village and community elements we want. They also crucially have meaningful content and the media skills to share it.

Other locations are also good but these 2 places have the idea of sharing built into them and are not overly dependent on just one person with a money making remit (so they are good potentials for strong centres). Other places have been good it's true - but they don't share so widely.
