(
https://zoom.us). It
actually works for large conference calls. Wikimedia DC uses it all the
time and it is very effective. It is proprietary, but so is Google Hangout.
(I do not have a good solution to *that* problem.)
Note that zoom limits the length of a meeting to 40 mins for free accounts
initiating the session. But yes, in general I find zoom to be better than
h-o too.
As for the move off of IRC part, I think it's a good idea to try to
experiment with a different format and see if that fulfils the needs
better. If it doesn't, we can always revert to the old one. Note that the
format itself is not new in our circles; we have had various types of
events that went in parallel on h-o, youtube and IRC and I would say they
worked well.
My 2 cents,
Marko

+1 to this being inconvenient. I don't always

meetings, but usually do if I happen to be online during the time. If
its a hangout, it is extremely unlikely I would attend unless I was
specifically proposing an RFC.
Proprietary and capped at 25 participants? No thank you.
Piling on. I hate hangouts for small meetings with like 5 people, much
less a large group. They're *awful*
The 25 participant problem should make the whole idea a non-starter for
this.
