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 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.

My experience wasn't so good. I think the issue may have been resolved, but basically non-linaro people were connecting to a different hangout than the one that the meeting was part of. I ended up getting a voice line for someone to call in.
Provided this issue can be worked out, the hangouts may be a good solution.
