ORTC – Call for implementations

On October 14 we had our 6th CG meeting, in that meeting we called for implementations. We would like to hear from those that intend to or already are implementing based on this spec :

One example, the ORTC Lib (maintained by Hookflash):

We are hoping to hear more from the community, including both Google and Microsoft about ongoing progress and plans regarding implementations.

Final Agenda:

Review of spec changes

Outstanding 1.0 issues

– IdP
– Synchronize with 1.0
– Datachannel ?

Rename IceListener to IceGatherer

Latching rules definition & added into spec
– Undefined RTP listening behavior – issue 48

Discuss SVC “automatic” configuration scenario vs manual configuration

Call for implementations.

Existing reference implementations:
– ORTC Library: http://www.slideshare.net/ErikLagerway/ortc-lib-introduction
– Call for help, there is plenty to do, some examples:
– Browsers: JS Shim work
– Servers: Node.js work eg. SIP to ORTC Gateway

Google progress; Canary 39 Sender/Receiver – JS bindings? When will we see the rest of the ORTC API?

Microsoft progress; Progress of Modern API? Under Consideration to Under Development?

Discuss options to migrate this work into the W3C WebRTC WG

ORTC CG Meeting 5 – IETF 90 Toronto, July 20 11am

Since there is quite a bit of overlap between members in the IETF RTCWEB WG and the ORTC CG we thought it would serve us well if we had the next CG meeting on the Sunday July 20, prior to the IETF 90 meeting in Toronto.

Looking at the IETF agenda (https://datatracker.ietf.org/meeting/90/agenda.html) Sunday mid-morning looks to be relatively open. With that in mind I would like to propose we have the next CG meeting on Sunday July 20 at 11:00 am.

We would need some help with room sponsorship at the hotel for the CG meeting room. We will also provide remote attendance as well for those who are not able to make it in person.

I would like to get this nailed down this week so we can announce the meeting as far in advance as possible. If you plan on coming or If you are interested in helping with room sponsorship please let me know via email directly asap: erik@hookflash.com

Draft Community Group Report 15 June 2014 + last call

Cross-posted from public-ortc mail list…
http://ortc.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/ortc.html
We are nearing completion of the ORTC specification for our initial ORTC community group draft. We are asking for last call feedback at this time. Some comments to explain some of the changes are still pending but all issues are tracked here and on github. If you would like to make comment, please have a read through and make comment either on this list or as part of our next CG meeting coming up.
There are a few outstanding areas which are “pending” synchronization with WebRTC, e.g. stats, data channel, and IdP. As these have dependencies on WebRTC 1.0, we will attempt to complete the our specification as best we can but those areas will be subject to synchronization should updates come out of the WebRTC community group.
Now is the time to have a read through for final review as the next stage will be to build implementations for implementation feedback.

Next CG Meeting – June 24

Update: Due to a potential conflict with Google I/O we are moving the meeting from June 26 to to June 24, same time.
In keeping with our meeting per month mantra we are holding the next ORTC CG meeting in June. Here are some initial details.

When: June 24, 2014 @ 10am Pacific
Slides: Can be found Here
Where: Hangouts on Air (https://plus.google.com/u/2/events/cq1mi01d5fdh8vh58t6l5svq22o)
