Previously skype had a product called Skypecast that enabled many (in theory hundreds) people to join a talk, have a moderator etc. For free.<br><br>But since September 1st 2008 it's discontinued (<a href="http://skypecasts.skype.com/intl/en-us/">http://skypecasts.skype.com/intl/en-us/</a>).<br>
<br>AFAIK a regular skype voice conference call can host maximum 25 people.<br><br>The idea of having this kind of voice conf is excellent, I'd definitely join from time to time!<br><br>-- <br>Ahti Kitsik<br>Founder & Chief Coder @ Codehoop<br>

What are the limitations of skype re number of users ? I thought it was only a few.<br>
<br>
Other options are elliminate, bit that means only a few can speak at a time, and the voice quality is limited, we we can share notes and a whiteboard and host as many people as needed (I have tested the client on windows, mac, and Linux and it works, just not as nice as skype).<br>

Does anyone here like the idea of community skype meetings? We already have irc which is very open, but nothing is ever scheduled, we could schedule a once a month (more if demand needs) skype meeting. What do people think, and what would people like to discuss?<br>
