Mingle brings group video chat to Linux
The developers at Collabora have extended Jingle—a multimedia chat protocol for XMPP—so that it can support audio and video conversations with more than two participants. Support for this new XMPP extension, which they call Mingle, could eventually land in Empathy, the GNOME instant messaging client.
Collabora developer Dafydd Harries has written a blog entry about the project and also published a screenshot that demonstrates the prototype. The Mingle project leverages the GStreamer multimedia framework and Farsight, an audio and video communication framework. Farsight provides an abstraction layer around streaming media protocols and provides an API for client applications.
"I'm now happy to announce that we have a working implementation of the beast we've dubbed Mingle," Harries wrote.
