Tech Talk with Ryan Stewart Episode: Get to Know CoCoMo

CoCoMo is one of the cooler projects going on at Adobe. It is a project that breaks out a bunch of the components in Connect (things like chat, video chat, whiteboards) and lets you bring those into your own application. I interviewed two of the product managers, Nigel Pegg and Fang Chang, as part of Tech Talk with Ryan Stewart. CoCoMo should be available soon and I’m really looking forward to seeing what people do.

If you’re interested in finding out more, Nigel and Fang are going to have a couple of MAX sessions. One is building an AIR app with CoCoMo, and the other is a standard, building real-time collaboration apps with CoCoMo.

    nice demo… the thing that I can never figure out is how you’re going to release this… what offerings you have, what it costs for various levels of scale. Without those details I can only assume it costs a ton of money. Maybe you can link to where this is detailed.

    By the end of the video you say there’s an SDK available in labs.adobe.com, can you confirm this information?

    I was unable to find it.

    Hey Phillip,

    I think once we have a public beta version we will have some pricing info. From what I’ve heard, this is going to be similar to ConnectNow – we’ll have some free usage and then tiers for increased usage.

    I’ll check with the team to see if they have cost info.

    Hey Jay, I wasn’t sure when they were going to release this video, so I jumped the gun a bit :(

    If you’re interested in being on the prerelease list, drop me an email.

    Hmm. @dzedward, if you click through on the Tech Talk link, does it play there?

    I’ll work on a detailed post in the next couple days (today, I’m just exhausted).

    Re: Labs – nothing to see there. We’re still in private beta, working with companies to get a sense of what we need in order to be useful.

    Re: PK – We have some notions of what pricing structure will look like, and we’re pretty sure that they out-compete what it would take to run a server for yourself. Bottom line, if this isn’t priced the right way, it’s not going to help anyone. More details as we get closer to something releasable, along with TONS of time for devs to give us feedback.

    Hi, On IE 6 – 7, Firefox 2 – 3 and Chrome – with Flash Player 9 and 10, both. I am not able to see video, can here only Audio.

    A security sandbox error appears first.
