Okay, understandable - same for me with the Design Team and its topics, I love to work with / on.

Well, I think I trust Florian's comment that this might not be as urgent as other things (I'm still delaying the FOSDEM talk preparation, grrr). But since you asked whether the phone conference system is the single one, I thought it might be helpful for the website guys.

I think that any move to a well built open source product is very progressive for our community. Not sure if you have the time for this at the moment, I know that I am snowed under with work so I am only just getting enough time to do a little work on the current site. I watched the video and I like the concept. I am sure there are many alternatives out there, including Google's open source Wave server based on the XMPP protocol. Having said that, we can't just stop ranting. If you/we want to setup a system like this then analysis has to be done to determine the best product as well as resources and time put into setting it up. If you want to setup a demonstration server I am sure there will be people interested in trying it out for a time to evaluate the benefit to the community.

Alternative communication platform (was: Re: [tdf-discuss] Best time for Conference Calls)
Hi Michael, all! Am Donnerstag, den 03.02.2011, 03:28 +0930 schrieb Michael Wheatland: > > Is Talkyoo a free service?

Although I cannot answer the first question, I can say that I know some people (including myself) who feel not comfortable by using Skype (closed source, closed communication protocol, somehow bypasses most firewalls...), although it works nearly everywhere (in terms of network infrastructure). Enough ranting ... you may remember that I talked about an open platform that provides text, voice, video, whiteboard capabilities in different virtual meeting rooms, and that (when the call has been finished) also provides a downloadable video. It also provides (limited) managing of people's schedules, so maybe we can give it a try - a test installation? What do you think? Project page & videos: http://code.google.com/p/openmeetings/ Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Openmeetings Demo Portal: http://www.openmeetings.de/openmeetings/ If this really would work, it would be a great resource for the whole community, I think.
