We use a VNC reflector for our live Dojo lessons. webavant has amazingly been donating this service to the Dojo since the Dojo began pretty much. We should look at the needs for the VNC reflector, see if it can be improved and also come up with a plan to have at least one backup in place. Through this process we can also get some nice detailed documentation on how this can be set up.

Userplane has a flash based web real time audio and video no presentation or whiteboard the last time I checked... there is a drupal plugin for the userplane chat (at least there interested in portal software) I havent used it or checked it out for awhile but the last time I checked it was free with some ads at the bottom.. perhapse someone should take a look cuse a brief glance says they pay ad revenue so I dunno.... heres some links for the dojo.

Chris Charlton was kind enough to pass on a trial version on this product:

Took me a few minutes to realize that it has everything we need!

While this is a commercial solution, possibly (in association w/ the association) we could secure a discounted rate and/or fund via donations, advertising, or sponsorships.

Nice one, chris! Being this is 'open source' there may be some cool ways to integrate (and a bit less costly...heh) -

After a personalized demo, the Dojo decided Dimdim (http://www.dimdim.com/) would be the best solution for our immediate needs. Better yet, the community chipped-in for a 100-seat-capable professional account!
