Problem:

  • To make a VideoBridge happen, you need certain components of infrastructure. It is not easy to make these working in a new place.
Solution:
  • Use certain locations regularly for VideoBridge events reduces both stress and costs.
    • Target once a month or more often.
    • Have a stationary high-bandwidth internet connection (2-4 Mbit in both directions).
    • Keep the equipment and service providers at hand. "Never change a winning team".
...

Statements:

  • Stress factors with new locations:
    • Providers that are late in providing the internet access
    • Lack of connection quality
    • Routers or firewalls that do not cooperate nicely with the streaming equipment used.
    • Testing happens too late, ... (let's say it should happen a week before the first event).
      • because problems are underestimated
      • because of the costs of separate early testing
  • One should think about the minimum requirement of a vb location
  • One might think about the optimum configuration
    • e. g. it seems desirable to have minimum costs but be flexible in the size of the event. 15 people should not feel lost in space, if you can have 70-200 people, you can create a larger local impact. A flexible room concept would be great.
