Exploring teleconference options for XLIFF calls

Title: Message

Hello TC 
members,

 

I've just learned 
that our long-standing use of Oracle's meeting place teleconference facility is 
coming to an end.  I'd like to express my sincere gratitude to them for 
very generously providing us with such an excellent service these many 
years.

 

Going forward, we 
have a challenge to find the best way for us to conduct our meetings.  Our 
partners at OASIS are working on options for us.  Meanwhile, in the 
interest of due-diligence, I'd like to get an idea of what additional 
alternatives we have.

 

Please let me know . 
. .

 

1. Can you provide a 
similar teleconference facility for our XLIFF TC conference calls?  The 
optimal situation would be that you could provide us a dial-in number, ideally 
toll-free, for as many regions as possible.

 

2. Can you recommend 
a free VOIP teleconference service we should try?  The best situation would 
be that they could offer us a toll-free dial in number for a good number of our 
members, and that the quality would be good.

 

3. Is Skype a viable 
possibility for you?  Do you have experience using Skype for 
teleconferences?  If so, did it work well?

 

If our OASIS 
partners are still working on this in our March meeting timeframe, and other 
options have not materialized, I think the leading probable method will be 
Skype.  But I'm looking forward to your feedback.

 

Thanks,

 

Bryan
