It depends on what we're using the VOIP service for. If we're using it to REPLACE the IRC meetings then it would need to cater for more than 9 people. If we're looking to ADD it as a meeting the maybe we can look into solutions that have lower thresholds. I've not been involved in many phone conferences outside of work but I know the ones at work can get messy quickly if you're seeking input from a large number of users all at once. -- Regards, Jared Norris JP(Qual) BBehSc(Psych) https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JaredNorris -- ubuntu-au mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au
