[TYPO3-doc] What tool for our meetings?

[François Suter]

Hi all,

During our last meeting we had some trouble again with Jacob trying to 
connect to the Big Blue Button (BBB) server. It's not the first time 
that such problems happen and it's rather frustrating to waste 15-20 
minutes of a 1-hour meetings with that. Thus I would like to move away 
from BBB. I have discussed this with Steffen G and he acknowledged that 
the use of Flash sometimes causes issues.

As far as I can see the alternatives are Skype and Google Hangout. Both 
work well but have the following disadvantages:

- people need some kind of account (Skype or Google+) and even an extra 
piece of software (for Skype).
- the meeting is not so open anymore, as people cannot just go to the 
BBB server and connect to it. Although still open to everyone people 
still need to get in touch with the meeting organizer and share their 
account information.

Do any of you have an opinion on the topic? Better ideas? And - should 
it boil down to that - a preference between Skype and Google Hangout?

TIA for your feedback.
