Hello,

The way the WMF engineering team solved it is that all members are
attending the meeting remotely. Despite 3 out of 7 members are based in
SF, albeit frequently working remotely.  That might sound a bit extreme
though.

For mixed audiences, I have seen meetings having a presenter and someone
helping interact with online peoples.  I.e it would literally raises its
hand instead of remote folks.

<helper> remote1: ack

* helper physically raises its hand for remote1 *
