Irc and Skype are fine with me. How would Skype be used if many people want to call in? I imagine that you guys could put the conference on speaker phone on your end. Alex, what are your thoughts on this?if somebody start a conference call and use good microphone then anybody could join the conference call (up to 5 persons - should be enough for us) and it is *free* ... see:

and somebody's experience with it: http://www.henshall.com/blog/archives/000705.html
it seems possible to record straight from skype session with a little extra work (and little money to bay VAC):

We could record the audio but if last time was an indication I doubt anyone outside the room will be able to follow it. Let's definitely do IRC and assign scribes to take notes on IRC. Also, we can use skype for audio? We could do a phone call but it will be expensive to do it for the whole time, however Shawn if there's a couple of hours where you'd really like to do join we could certainly do it for that slot.
I suggest we try IRC + skype and then switch to phone if needed.
Sanjiva.

Hi all, Since there are requests for presentations and audio/video recordings of the sessions we need to think of a better way to cater for the people who will be absent in the summit (other than the wiki). General discussions are not appropriate to be recorded , even in audio format, since the people will feel restricted once they know it's being recorded.( we did not record the sessions last time due to this!) So recording the complete sessions is out. But we can actually record (either in audio or video) the presentations. I am now planning a complete Axis2 overview presentation which will include notes as well. it is possible have the audio (or video if people are so keen in looking at me or Srinath waving our hands :)) of this. (I mean I have no objections :)). So here is my suggestion. We can have a short (lets say 10 to 15 minutes maximum) presentation before we start every session. This presentation will be a general introduction about the topic to discuss and will include specific problem areas. A person who is well aware of the particular topic can do the presentation. We can record these presentations (if there are no objections) and publish along with the ppt + notes.
thoughts ?
having ppt,notes and caera shots of white boards is an absolute minimum
having recording of audio for presentation is good.
i hope also there is going to be available IRC for questions (and Wiki used to capture answers) and Skype or similiar access to listen-in.
