Make it an online conference rather than a virtual one. Virtual=not real. We want real communication, with real people. Plus in marketing, we should be aware of how some words are loaded with associations. 'Virtual' has dot-com baggage. > Cc'ing d...@marketing if some more people want > that. Otherwise we just might leave out the paragraph... A framework (as in work flow) is lacking. We need not just to find a technological solution but also work out the practical steps to use them and to make it easy for any one to join. Like any other similar (sub)project, this can't be done all at once. Tools and methods have to be worked with in small groups to figure this out. I have started to look at options, and will try to not be so glacially slow about it. So far my list has voice tools: Ekiga (sip) QuteCom (sip) - formerly WengoPhone Twinkle (sip) KPhone (sip) pjsua (sip) The idea is not to pick one, but to figure out how one or more can be used in voice conferencing. There is also scalability, some tools or methods which are great for large groups will suck for small groups. More complicated solutions include: Asterisk WebHuddle DimDim I'm still looking for Whiteboards, but for small group writing new tools like PiratePad look useful: http://piratepad.net/ Regards, /Lars --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@marketing.openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@marketing.openoffice.org
