It looks like WebEx is $59 per month, with no support for Linux.
I remember trying to use WebEx on Windows at a previous employer
without much success. I don't know how it is now.
As far as the cost is concerned, Wayne made the suggestion that people
might be willing to pay a "club fee" to help facilitate this. The
problem is that the only "organization" we have is Perl Mongers.
Houston.pm is not a "legal entity". As I've seen recently with the SVG
Open conference, becoming a "legal entity" is complicated and
potentially expensive.
If we can come up with a free solution (or low-cost that people can
make use of outside our meetings), I think that would be a better idea.
One of the problems at the moment seems to be that most of the
solutions I've seen are Windows-only. Many people use other OSes, and
that has been reflected so far in the attendance.
Does anyone have any experience with any meeting or screen sharing
software that is really cross platform?

Agreed.
I was going to try Ekiga (Was GnomeMeeting) an
hour ago, but they quickly confused me with
3 different file choices that I didn't know which
one to get (I'm on Windows). Maybe I am
supposed to get Microsoft NetMeeting - I'm
not sure.
I have another club I want to do this for. Does
anybody have a recommendation on what video
camera to get to do these teleconferences?
This other club has a ton of money and maybe I
can talk them into it. I sure would like to hear the
experience of others doing this. What do I need
to output the camera data to the internet?
I feel like I'm back in the Dark Ages. I can't
believe this is so rarely done.
