here's an idea. we're all working with/on asterisk, an IP-PBX and more. 
asterisk, thru MeetMe and IAX2, allows multiparty voice conferences. also, 
astricons can be expensive (not the cost of the conference, but rather 
flight tix and accomodation) for those of us in developing nations.

why dont we have monthly/quarterly virtual meetme conferences in the 
following manner:

1. slides are made into JPEGs/web pages and hosted on a web server
2. set up meetme conference, could be hierarchically stacked * with MeetMe 
and connected together thru IAX2 (similar to astricon of past)
3. relevant guru speaks thru meetme, referring to slides served by HTTP 
which each listener can go to on his own

the technology to do all the above is there for most of us. why dont we use 
it ?

i for one would not mind setting aside an hour or two every month to listen 
to developers talk about the asterisk source code.
