This event is part of TikiFestConfoo2011 and is just before the Confoo Web Conference. It is a follow-up to the first TikiFestBigBlueButton

))BigBlueButton(( is an open source real-time collaboration tool. (Audio/Video/Screensharing/Chat), which is built upon several open source components and with a focus on distance education.

The main topic of this event is to improve the interaction of BigBlueButton with Tiki and any other application (Drupal, Joomla!, etc.)
