Given the state of telecom in the pacific northwest (good luck finding a
voice line that works reliably in the rain or a wireless service that's
affordable if you use it), if we're going to go the conference call
route, I suggest perhaps meeting at the Open Source Infohub in Second
Life's Ama Gi instead, as it has voice and doesn't cost, plus we can use
visual aids.
