I was at the December foss.my meetup, something I haven’t been to in a while. I had told Aizat that I’d attempt to record the session, but when push came to shove, I couldn’t find the AC adapter for my video camera!<\/p>\n

With less than an hour to spare, I decided to give Qik<\/a> a try. It seemed to work in my initial testing, so I headed to the location and decided to give it a twirl.<\/p>\n

Executive summary?<\/b> It just worked. AeU had a good enough WiFi connection, and broadcasting Mohan speak live, just worked.<\/p>\n

The MyOSS Meetup<\/b>
\nMohan talked to us about oAuth. His slides are online – Mohanraj – Securing Your Web Api With OAuth<\/a>. If you want to grab the video, don’t hesitate to look at Part 1<\/a>, Part 2<\/a> and Part 3<\/a>. Note that there are also comments from the live chat feature – very cool.<\/p>\n

Why is it in 3 parts? I received three phone calls during that one hour session, and everytime the phone rang, and I cancelled the call, it would end up in me having to restart the streaming. Oh woe!<\/p>\n

Live chat? Allowed a few others to join in on a myoss meetup, without actually being there… There might have been five people chatting, with two actually being in the room ;)<\/p>\n

My initial thoughts on Qik<\/b><\/p>\n
