I use hangouts often. It works well and would work well for our meetings. The important thing would be to get a camera with a built in mic for the room. I have one at my desk I can use. As best I can tell, Google plus is the best group hangout tool that is cross platform (mac, windows, linux). There is a limit of 15 minutes per hangout. It just means you have to re-start. It's not a big deal. What other questions do you guys have about it? Do we have any out of city takers for the 9th? _______________________________________________ Houston mailing list [email protected] http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/houston Website: http://houston.pm.org/
