Great Geoff!   Certainly worth trying!  If it doesn't work out we'll give
Lotus e-meetings a shot.

Subject:    [wsdm] WSDM Con Calls - seeing and hearing?



Hi all,
I have asked around here at webMethods and found out that we have some sort
of unlimited use license for webex sessions - for calls of 50 people or
less
- which fits this group fine, I've never seen more than 50 people turn up
for a meeting yet ;-)

So I went ahead a booked a two hour session for this Thursday 8-10 PT and
thought we might try it and see what happens.  If its a disaster, then we
just forget about it, if it works then I get to figure out how to schedule
a
recurring meeting in webex.

If this is a bad idea then just say so, I won't be offended.

Seems it might bring us at least a few benefits:
1) easy and quick way to do the role call - everybody's name will be
visible
in a scrolled list in the webex session - except those that are mobile or
have some funky firewall problem.  Hopefully they would be the exception
rather than the rule.

2) Easy way for us all to look at the same requirements doc and see the
edits going in, in real time - might cut down on time and questions.

3) Any presentations (like the one last week) could be seen by everyone,
not
just heard.

I would suspect that the major problem we might have is firewall issues,
but
I have had good success to date, so I am sort of hopeful.

If you have never used webex before, you should allow an extra minute or
so,
because it downloads an applet so it can do its funky stuff.

Anyway, I thought it was worth a try.
Best Regards,
Geoff
