'''Summary''': [[WebRTC]] (Web Real Time Communication) is an exciting new technology that will enable web developers to build interesting applications involving video and audio communications. This talk will give an overview of the various APIs that will be made available via JavaScript to access the local webcam & microphone, as well as APIs to create peer-to-peer channels to transmit audio, video and other arbritrary data. We will then delve into how the project is currently architectured, and how you can get involved!

'''How your session furthers the MozCamp Goals (https://wiki.mozilla.org/MozCampEU2012/Tracks)''': Builds awareness and encourages contributors for a Mobile+Desktop Firefox feature.

'''Expected Outcome or Deliverable''': Spread the word about WebRTC, encourage developers to contribute and build novel applications based on the technology.

'''Desired Audience Type or Skill-set''': Basic understanding of JavaScript required, C++ hackers welcome. The first half of the talk should be interesting to everyone (there will be demos). The latter half will be focused on how the community can make technical contributions to the project.
