<br>
I refer you to the following example of a conference.<br>
This is the type of conference capability I am replicating to FreeSwitch.<br>
<a href="http://www.conferencecall1.com" target="_blank">http://www.conferencecall1.com</a><br>
This type of conference requires an IVR front end to determine the<br>
room number and Host identifier. It also requires additional IVR<br>
capability to handle the menu enabled by a menu key.<br>
One of the features of this conference type is the ability to<br>
mute everyone who did not login as a host.<br>
<br>
I have used several different conference systems and have been working with<br>
the RemoteLink conference capabilities for over a year. Recently I spent<br>
some time looking at a outside "free" conferencing capability.<br>
I really have several primary goals:<br>
* Simple conferencing,<br>
* Replicate RemoteLink conferencing,<br>
* Provide a configurable system that can do even more sophisticated things.<br>
<br>
In conference types, there could be the capability of having more<br>
than two classes of Conferees. I have come up with 5 that seem to<br>
fit the range of capabilities desired.<br>
* Classes whose members are always allowed to speak.<br>
Host/Moderator - Owner of the conference.<br>
Assistant - Someone one who can control the conference (not owner).<br>
Speaker - Think of this as a panel or a series of speakers.<br>
* Class of conferees that can be muted or unmuted by host/assistant control.<br>
Guest<br>
* Class of conferees that are never allowed to speak<br>
Participant<br>
<br>
I spent some more time looking over the mod_conference code and think<br>
that I would like to add two flags:<br>
* guest<br>
* listener<br>
At this time I do not see the need to have mod_conference track the<br>
difference between the 3 classes of speakers.<br>
<br>
Any API that uses “CONF_API_SUB_MEMBER_TARGET” is a potential<br>
user of these flags. For example.<br>
> To allow the capability to mute/unmute all guests.<br>
* mute <confname> mute <[member_id|all|last|guest]><br>
* unmute <confname> mute <[member_id|all|last|guest]><br>
> To allow the capability to deaf/undef all guests and listeners.<br>
* deaf <confname> mute <[member_id|all|last|guest|listener]><br>
* undeaf <confname> mute <[member_id|all|last|guest|listener]><br>
> To kick off guests or listeners only leaving the speakers:<br>
* kick <confname> mute <[member_id|all|last|guest|listener]><br>
<br>
Note: I have found some other surprises in the code that I will address some other time.<br>
