[Mdabs] Teleconference Tonight!!

Tue Mar 6 00:30:27 UTC 2012

I think the phone conference would be better for our purposes, 
for 2 reasons: (1) the same reason we use the Conversation 
Station for our BrailleNote chats, that is, some people might not 
have PC's, and even if they do, they might not have or want to 
use a program like Skype or Teamtalk for whatever reason, and (2) 
the way that Skype and TeamTalk are set up, people would need to 
add MDABS to their contacts (especially Skype,) and we can't 
always count on that.  :) I love Skype for calling friends and 
even some tech conferences, but I think for an organization like 
MDABS or the NFB, a phone conference might be the best way to go.  
Not all of us are tech kids like you and me, LOL! That decision 
ultimately lies in the hands of Melissa and the MDABS board, but 
those are just my thoughts.

  Hi Melissa,

  Seems like you're having problems with your teleconferenceing
  service! I can fix this, if you'd like.  I have a room on
 another
  conference service called the Conversation Station.  If you'd
  like, I could set up a MDABS room on the line and then we could
  have our conferences in there.  Also, on the Conversation
  Station, there is a feature where we could record our
 conferences
  and post them to the line so that people can call back in and
  listen to it.

  Hello Chris!

  Unfortunately, the meeting was not recorded.  However, we will
  have
  another one soon.  The conference call number that we used did
  not
  work as well as we would have wanted it to.  I will generate an
  email
  about our next teleconference much sooner the next time.  These
  past
  weeks have been super busy.

  Have a great week!

  not,
   could anybody who was on the call give me a summary of what
   happened?

   Thanks,
