We are going to try Festoon.. Matthew and I have been testing that.. but I'm working on a backup in case that doesn't work. (it might be webex, or glance plus festoon)

I'll send everyone an email....

It's quite a tricky problem... to have linux client, VOIP, work well and cost under $100. People recommend Abobe Breeze but to be able to have a 5 person webinar it's $350/month and for 10 people it's $750 month!

It's too bad the sound on Webex was so bad... Mom and I were doing experimenting just with skype it may be that I had the sound on my speaker instead of my headset because when I switch configuration it was much better.

webex works pretty fine for us, but you have to have a good headset. Anyways, for this type of webminars, we can share our corporate account for all of them. 😊

Hey,

If we are going to use Festoon attendees will need an instant messaging account with the Festoon plug-in http://www.festooninc.com/. I know it works with Skype but it says on the site it is cross-IM and supports Google talk also.

Hope that helps...
