This page is intended to be a comprehensive list of all the things a Facilitator might want to do with FedoraTalk. A separate page holds things a regular User orAdminstrator might need to do. These use cases are developed as part of the FAD Fedora Talk 2009 game plan.

- If it doesn't exist to day, there should be a link to an Ticket with a keyword of ftalk.

Host a Private Conference
This option should be somewhat restricted in usage. The Fedora Project promotes openness and transparency, so use of this capability should be minimized and possible constrained to a few users such as the FPL and/or Infrastructure lead.
A group of people would like to have a conference which requires a level of privacy--the access code is not public knowledge.

Remote talk at Events
Delivering remote talks at conferences and events removing the need for travel where possible. susmit 17:37, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
- May require special dial-in room that supports video over SIP
- Web app allows setup of limited-time account for conference/event dial-in (using at queued jobs perhaps)
- First job sets up account at startup time
- Second job removes account at end time
- User dials in at appointed time using normal account
- Conference/event on-site dials in using limited-time account

Open Questions
- In cases of public conferences, can/should we further restrict codec use to promote the lowest possible bandwidth per caller? Or is this a dynamic feature that the Asterisk server and clients manage automatically as call numbers grow? --pfrields 11:21, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
- My (Bruno) memory is that it is better for everyone in a conference to be using the same codecs. But one of the real Asterisk guys might understand this better.
- Some of the better/best codecs are patented and we may not be able to use them.
- Add yours today :-)
