Automation for BigBlueButton launch on hybrid scenarios

The context is the following:

• professor will teach to a classroom of students in a lecture hall AND remote students
• professor will be in the lecture hall
• there won't be any technical staff to help the professor during the lecture, which means that the professor will operate the system

BigBlueButton will be used in this context and professor wants to engage both the local and remote audience, and allow interactivity.

The problem is the current workflow to launch and configure BigBlueButton, by the professor, as follows:

# Run with:
# ruby export-playback-links.rb | sudo tee ~/meus-links.csv

require 'csv'
require 'date'
require 'nokogiri'

DEFAULT_DIR_PERMISSION = 0755
DEFAULT_FILE_PERMISSION = 0644
