That would be dial-in conferencing not generic voice conferencing. SIP, or another open standard, is what is needed to ensure open access to the conferencing. > And also see this wiki page that has been online for some years and > announced on the lists, barely noticed by anyone: > http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Phone_Conferences Noticed but not used. It's a nice try, but as you mention, it does not cover most countries. Additionally, it costs to participate. Many regions have a per-minute service charge even for local phone usage. The "penny gap" is not just psychological, even with a budget a poorly managed employer can have deadly amounts of paperwork. However, the link to dimdim at the bottom is a better idea. Whatever is used, it must be available for anyone on any platform and in any country to use, free-of-charge. Dial-in only works for a small subset. /Lars --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
