This module is still in dev, (last commit 13/01/2011) beside a non working beta.
Too many bugs / missing features, no support for the latest bbb, you cannot expect that a conference will run or not.
The maintainer seems not to focus much attention anymore on this module, while most issues should be easily solved with some php, module architecture and Drupal contribution knowledge.

I see no alternatives in Drupal, while bbb as well as the basic ideas of this module are really exciting and relevant. The usage is not that bad despite its status, I would think a very large adoption if only it worked reliably enough.

Can Sanduhrs tell us his position on this, and possibly help to ensure an ongoing maintenance and improvements?
Thanks again for having made this module available

I agree, it would be great to see this module running in a fully functional manner. I'm sorry I don't have the skills to help make it happen at the moment as I feel it would be an asset to the Drupal community.

Hi Sanduhrs,

if you do not want to continue maintaining the bbb module, I would be glad to maintain this module. At the moment I am adding a upload and recording features to the bbb module.

Thank you for your great work.

Regrads,
Chipie

Thank you very much Chipie for proposing your maintainer-ship.
By the way, which version do you work on? the beta and dev are totally different modules, not sure which one actually works (somewhat)

I have patched the the dev version for drupal 7 and bbb 0.8-beta3

Can you commit this as a new dev?
If it is not possible, can you post a tar/zip of the patched module?
Thanks

BBB seems quite promising as a solution.

Any chance of someone patching the dev version for drupal 6.x and bbb 0.8?

I would be open to collaboration if interested in exploring our business development/marketing activities

Thanks

Any update on getting a workable D6 release for BBB 0.8?
I am currently stuck.

Happy seasons greeting

I REALLY wish to use this module for Drupal 7. I honestly wish I knew code so that I can help with this. This seems like great stuff to use.

No news from Sanduhrs apparently.
Is the process of transferring the maintainership to Chipie already going on?

I did not hear anything from Sanduhrs yet.

Sorry for the silence.
I'm not able to develop then module atm due to lack of time.

I'd be fine adding someone as a co-maintainer, though.

Any update on passing maintainership?

@Chipie @jhaski: are you still interested taking maintainership for this module?

I'm probably going to be spending a few days testing and fixing some things in the 7.x branch. Be good to backport 7.x fixes and features to 6.x branch after.

Did any get the recording functionality working? Or even just some starter code ideas to work from..?

I would like to maintain this module.

I have enabled recording and preuploading documents to bbb. But I have to cleanup the code, it is still kind of "dirty" ;)

markwk CreditAttribution: markwk commented

Cool... have you posted your current stuff somewhere? github or sandbox or something? I'd like to move the recording forward so I'm open to digging in the dirt...

Would be glad to test a version that works, and even better with the support of the recording feature

@jvieille: It doesn't look like Chipie has pushed any changes yet ;( I've got some stuff I'm working on with loading slides and recording the session. I haven't pushed it yet to github where I'm doing the dev but should have this working either today or early next week.

@Chipie: can you push all those patches from http://drupal.org/node/1016910#comment-4994574 or from here: https://github.com/markwk/bbb? We need a 7.x-1.x branch and a dev release. That way we can close some issues and patch according to separate issues / code.

I was going to post my dev version with uploading and recording features this weekend. I will have a look at your patches this weekend.

Tis a shame your delays... I advice you to do a bit of reading on Open Source development / community practices. The Moodle version truly puts us Drupalers to shame. The number of past and current issues shows the community desire for this project.

Sorry, I'm still not available for further development.
Chipie got commit access to the project.
See http://drupal.org/node/1353192#comment-5531816

If anyone else with coding abilities wants to join, (s)he's welcome.

I don't really want to commit to full maintainership but I'd be willing to chip away at this some while I work on it for a personal project.

@sanduhrs: can you give me commit access? I'll push a working version for D7 with recording and a couple additional features.

Interested in D6 only... I cannot help on D7 for the time being.
Is the code of your branch directly derived from the current D6? Whatr would have to be changed to work on D6?

Thanks

Chipie’s picture

Chipie CreditAttribution: Chipie commented

I haven't looked at D6 version yet. Perhaps you can download the D7 module and compare the differences?

jvieille’s picture

jvieille CreditAttribution: jvieille commented

Yes, I'll do that once a working D7 is available

Any hope to get a working module for D6 / bbb0.8?
