As the meme goes "Now you have three problems". How do I set up a 'regular radio stream'? (It sounds like I need to break into BBC Manchester and hack into their FM transmitters!) Now everyone needs a twitter login, a radio stream listener, and a feed from reveal.js. Oh, and a shared whiteboard and desktop? Let's fire up that shared notepad site that I've forgotten the name of too. And now everyone has different usernames on things. That "arnulf.christl' on the notepad is "sevenof9" on twitter and "ernest.borg9" on the radio? Like you, I've not used OpenMeeting. I have a vague memory of trying to install it or something like it on a fairly old server and it just seemed to get stuck where maven just puked out its guts trying to get all the dependencies. But that was at least two years ago. But these all-in-one solutions have value as all-in-one solutions, assuming "what you need" is a subset of "all". I'd like to see one that Just Works (on all platforms). > I am probably hilariously oversimplifying things but I really don't > think we need to go webex or gotomeeting for a seminar.
