I use hangouts often. It works well and would work well for our
meetings. The important thing would be to get a camera with a built in
mic for the room. I have one at my desk I can use. As best I can tell,
Google plus is the best group hangout tool that is cross platform
(mac, windows, linux). There is a limit of 15 minutes per hangout. It
just means you have to re-start. It's not a big deal.

What other questions do you guys have about it? Do we have any out of
city takers for the 9th?
