More on text conferencing at ietf57



As usual, Jiri Kuthan and the team at iptel.org are providing SIMPLE support
for text messaging at IETF 57.

There is a sip2jabber service that connects SIP users to jabber chat rooms.
We've been using it for the last several meetings. More information can be
found at:

> 	     Remote Access for the 57th IETF meeting in Vienna:
>                              Text Conferencing
> 
> At each IETF meeting, two of the working group meeting rooms 
> are equipped for video multicast and remote participation.  
> That is, for every IETF meeting slot, two of the working 
> groups can see and hear the meeting. For the 57th IETF, in 
> *addition* to the usual network A/V, text conferencing will 
> be provided for every working group that meets.
> 
> All of the conference rooms will be hosted on
> 
>     ietf.jabber.at
> 
> and each is named using the official IETF abbreviation found 
> in the agenda (e.g., "apparea",  "dhc", "forces", and so on 
> -- for all the examples that follow, we'll use "foobar" as 
> the abbreviation).
> 
> Each conference room also has a 'bot which records everything 
> that gets sent. So, the minute taker can review this 
> information right after the meeting.
> 
> In addition to the conference rooms for each wg that is 
> meeting, there are three others of general interest: bar, 
> hallway, and plenary.

> 1.1. If you want to participate

> If you don't already have one, get yourself a Jabber client,

> When you start the client for the first time, it will 
> eventually ask if you want to register on a public server. Go 
> ahead and do that.

> If you want to find out more, instead of choosing these

>         server list:    http://www.jabber.org/user/publicservers.php

> To make sure everything is running ok, do a "Join Group Chat" 
> with your Jabber client:
>     
>     Group/Room: testing
>     Server:     conference.ietf.jabber.com
> 
> This conference room is up and running right now (although 
> probably no one will be in it when you connect).
>     
> 1.2. What the Chair does
>     
> If you want to make text conferencing available, you'll need 
> to have a volunteer scribe in the meeting room. The scribe 
> will be typing in a running commentary as to what's going on 
> in the room (who's presenting, what question is being asked, etc.)
>     
> So, why not send an email out on the mailing list now, before 
> the meeting, to ask for volunteers?
>     
>     
> 2. At the meeting
> 
> 2.1. What the Chair does
> 
> When a session starts, the chair asks if someone in the room 
> is willing to act as "scribe". If no one volunteers, read no 
> further, we're done!
> 
> Otherwise, the scribe should do a "Join Group Chat" with 
> their Jabber client, e.g.,
> 
>     Group/Room: foobar
>     Server:     conference.ietf.jabber.com
> 
> 
> 2.2. What the Scribe does
> 
> The scribe types in a running commentary as to what's going 
> on in the room. For example, if a speaker makes a 
> presentation, the scribe types in the URL for the 
> presentation (more on this in a bit).
> 
> Simlarly, during question time, a remote participant can type 
> a question into the room and the scribe can pass it on to the speaker.
> 
> 
> 2.3. What each Presenter does
> 
> Each presenter should put a copy of their presentation on a 
> web server somewhere, so remote participants can follow along. 
>     
> 
> 2.4. Where to find the conference log
