Upcoming Future Hi Conference Call

Today, Future Hi was going to have a Skype conference call, unfortunately, Skype has too many limitations (for now) to make it practical. There is a limit of only 5 people, and the person hosting needs it needs to have more than 128kps upstream, which no one does. That, and Skype has yet to release a Mac version, which leaves several people unable to participate. So, I'm going to have Erica create a permanent Future Hi IRC "bot" channel #futurehi This should be done this week sometime, and then I will re-schedule an official chat.

Enjoy your weekend!

Just to let you know..you can only have a max of 5 users on a conference call at present.

Oh, I didn't know about that limitation. More than likely there will only be 4 or 5 people who will be able to make the call anyway.

I remember my friends and I daisey-chained three-way calling into a conference call with 10 people, and it was finally stopped by the operator who called in and told us to hang it up.

I wonder if we can daisey-chain Skype to do the same thing?
