You can get it set up as multi-point? Everyone I know who has tried has given up. If there's something I'm missing, I'd be interested to hear it.<br clear="all"><br>Security issues were reported at Black Hat Europe in 2006: <a href="http://www.blackhat.com/presentations/bh-europe-06/bh-eu-06-biondi/bh-eu-06-biondi-up.pdf" target="_blank">http://www.blackhat.com/presentations/bh-europe-06/bh-eu-06-biondi/bh-eu-06-biondi-up.pdf</a> I know there are other discussions as well.<div class="im">

Well ideally, to me, what I'd want is some sort of multiplexible video conferencing thing, which I think skype has, but there may be some other apps out there as well (thinking about client side ease of us as well as ours) -- I hate closed protocols too, but what are some of the security issues with skype? <br>

I am opposed to using Skype for a number of reasons, not the least of which includes it being a closed protocol. I just can't get behind something that has had so many security issues, whether it effects us or not. <br>
<br>I will agree that Skype is easy to set up, but it's only available as a point-to-point connection, which prevents it from serving the purpose we're looking to fulfill here. If a single person can't participate, it's great. If even 2 can't, it fails. Same goes for the user-panned webcam. <br>
<br>For more participatory events, it would be nice to have a fish-eye. I think a 360 one would be too much and probably make the viewer nauseous. Besides, people who don't want to be seen online should have somewhere to participate too.<br>

</div>I like the idea of having a better telepresence setup, though not<br>
anything nearly as advanced as what you've got at work. Also, I don't<br>
currently have, and would rather not create, a SL account (call me<br>
closed-minded and old-fashioned if you must, but, well, it's apt).<br>
<br>
(IIRC, you and I had chatted about this for ML talks back at the<br>
beginning of those, as far back as December. I'd love to see us push<br>
through it now, but haven't wanted to step into it myself just yet.)<br>
