[gui-talk] Conferenceing software

[Doug Lee]

Skype now allows more than five people, but not enough for this I
think.

As for hotel bandwidth, I suspect you'll be sending a single data
stream from the hotel to a server outside the hotel, and that
listeners will connect to that server.  This means your hotel
bandwidth usage will be just for the transmission to the outside
server.  I'm not familiar with the options for software for this
though.

Unfortunately skype has a limit of 5 participants at a time. Is that a

We're exploring the feasibility of live streaming our Alaska state NFB
convention in October. Do you have any suggestions for a good speech
friendly application for providing the stream and speech friendly access for
those wanting to hear it?  I've thought about a Skype group but have never
tried that.  I've done some conferencing with Skype but at this time I
suspect it would be difficult to have them interact with the on site
participants.

I've thought about Winamp Shoutcast but I believe that could likely use up
more bandwidth than we could have from the hotel.
