Hi Walter, Regarding your question – is joining a meeting remotely an option?
Currently Cody and I have been using a teleconference link created for Microportal, the Electronics club, so their members can join in remotely. Cody and I are also members of Microportal, so I simply asked him to use the link we already have in common, which is use by Microportal. I won't mind someone from the Ubuntu LoCo teleconferencing into a Microportal meeting, because they are also interested in Electronics (Arduino, Raspberry Pi, IoT). Anyone wishing to join Microportal, may send an email request to: ormicroportal.c...@gmail.com However a problem arises, if a single teleconferencing link is used for both organizations (Microportal and Ubuntu). And would be problematic should both organizations hold meetings at the same time. I think a remote teleconferencing option is a great idea for Ubuntu LoCos, and it was “once” looked into. Though I forgot what the outcome was. Cody and I have been teleconferencing using Google Hangouts, here's what we found. Google Hangouts (formally Google talk) is available as a Browser plug-in for Mozilla Firefox, and built into the Chrome browser. Also as an application for Android, and iOS devices. However it works best on “computers” through the browser, verses the app for mobile devices. Testing revealed Google Hangouts works best on Ubuntu, Mac, and Windows, computers using the Browser plug-in with Firefox, Safari, Opera, or IE browsers. Up to ten (10) people can simultaneously teleconference via Google Hangouts. To teleconference using Google Hangouts, a Google account associated with Google Hangouts is required by each participant. And of course, a video camera if they want to be “seen” as well as heard. Thanks for supporting the FOSS community, and great work you've done for Ubuntu LoCo. Sincerely Phil.
