Conference Call
- Our working conference call in number in the USA is +1.661.673.8600 with code 687605#
- Check out The World Clock Meeting Planner
- If you are calling from countries other than the USA, sign up with http://www.rebtel.com/ to get low calling rates. Rebtel assigns a number local to you, so you can call the USA number above via a local number.
- We have considered a quarterly global teleconference call. How to implement this? Much of the team is in the San Francisco Bay Area, USA.

Tools
Preferred:

You can use your microphone or webcam, share documents on a white board, share your screen or record meetings. It is available as hosted service or you download and install a package on your server with no limitations in usage or users.
- Skype
- Mumble
- TypePad
Commercial:
- WebEx
- GoToMeeting
- FuzeMeeting - Phone, Skype, and VOIP bridge with HD media and screen sharing, including mobile app meetings.
- True fan Jeb Bateman can host meetings in his basic account for up to 25 participants.
Other:
- Pligus - http://www.pligus.com
- Free up to 4 people in a conference room with instant start - no sign up needed.
- Explainer video (~3 minutes): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ugQBlAyLcfY&NR=1
- Compared to Fuze, lower quality VOIP-only conference with optional video, YMMV. Nice room features. -jeb
- Others?
