Joe -
If you get more than a few folks into a meeting you want broadcast not
conference ware - icecast will broadcast audio & video, good for a
group that doesnt need to interact in channel. Pair icecast with an
Asterisk VoIP conference for audio feeedback and you should be able to
handle a good size group.
