Good idea, reasonable timeframe. I like the rationale you set out in
http://www.coactivate.org/projects/disintermedia/core-us

Google Hangouts has set a new bar for quality and convenience of
videoconferencing, and Google Hangouts On Air for supporting a large
live audience and recording. WebRTC based projects ought catch up with
former soon, not sure about latter.

Maybe

"Subsequent to the talk, we had some out-of-bands discussion about ways
to potentially integrate Jitsi Video bridge with the open source
dvswitch system used to produce streams and recordings from free
software events such as DebConf and FOSDEM. It is hoped that this will
provide an additional option for remote participation at free software
events of all sizes."

If you mean by platform anything more granular than operating system, I
think you have an infeasible n:n interoperability challenge.
