Hi Tom et al,
We worked out the problem with remote people dialling in to Linaro Connect. Basically a nasty feature/bug in Google Hangouts. The detail is: * If you set up a Hangout from a Linaro G+ account, by default it will look something like: https://talkgadget.google.com/hangouts/extras/linaro.org/linaro-blueroom * Its essential you replace /Linaro.org/ with /talk.google.com/. Then people outside the Linaro domain will go to the same session as you The nasty thing is, even with this domain change, when you (as a Linaro person) go to that hangout, it will provide a link under the Hangout Name of https://talkgadget.google.com/hangouts/extras/linaro.org/linaro-blueroom, but still connect you correctly to https://talkgadget.google.com/hangouts/extras/talk.google.com/linaro-blueroo m. External people get the correct link all the way through
Then, as a reminder, external participants can only join with a gmail account (and the Google empire grows...)
After that, it is absolutely possible. Further, Google will be deploying Hangouts on Air which will provide a YouTube feed to > 10 participants at some point.
When you set the meeting up, you're best off either attaching the hangout link to a meeting invite, or a separate page as they are pretty hard to locate within G+ itself
I suggest when you're ready to schedule your first nano-summit, you contact me and I'll help you set it all up.
Thx
Stephen

Hi All,
From what I've heard and saw it seemed like the google+ hangouts in
the rooms worked fairly well. (For the very small sample size of the people I've talked to)
I'm wondering/tempted to try out as an experiment on going single topic Multimedia sessions from time to time between Linaro Connects. Given that a focused single topic session would draw a smaller "crowd" the 9 person limitation I don't see as a big deal especially with carefully chosen topics.
Is this something that is even possible? I know the google+ hangout over the air is by "invite" only so it's important to know if their use might be available for more than just linaro connect.
Thanks!

This would sound like a deal breaker for general external participation. In spite of some appearances, not all email accounts are hosted by google.
cheers, Jesse

This was the 3rd remote LC for me and BY FAR the most useful and productive. The hangouts were a tremendous success. My only thought would be to maybe have a "hallway" hangout for impromptu discussions without having to think about it.

I think this would be useful, mainly for the improved quality over some of the other methods. I'll have to experiment with whiteboarding and screen sharing, but I think it would work. I'd be willing to put together a multimedia themed micro-summit to give it a try, maybe sometime between the mayor conferences.
