Live meeting software for Linux questions

[Bradley Hook]

http://www.videolan.org/ - Works well, works with all platforms, and can 
stream and store a video feed simultaneously. I'd use this if a 
relatively small, home-brew setup is going to be used.

I'm on the KS side, and I work with the Kan-ed and Internet2 folks on a 
frequent basis. These guys are always looking for something, anything, 
to throw on their dedicated video networks. If you approach this through 
Kan-ed channels, you may be able to get several of the reagents 
institutions to go in on a state-wide (or larger) RMS video conference. 
Keep in mind Kan-ed is a state-wide multicast network that can easily 
stream live HD-quality video to 200+ locations.

Give them a look at www.kan-ed.org and consider it.
