I just talked to the folks at Simply.Com (the Canadian company that is
moving its videoconferencing products to Linux), and they plan to be at
LinuxCanada and agreed to let us use their equipment to set up
vidoconferencing for our seminars.  I'll find out later from them what
will be required from the other ends, but I expect their stuff uses all
the standards (H.323, etc.) so there shouldn't be any real problems.

I hope this means that folks who can't attend but could provide valuable
portions of the seminars can be videoconferenced in.  We'll see how it
all plays out.

I'll visit the website Georges mentioned above in just a minute.  Thanks
for the link!
