I was suggested to use the conference bridge of sip2sip. This is kind of
nice as people can just call in through a number of ways, combining
chat, voice and hopefully soon notetaking.

The idea is simple: just think up some unique numerical code for your
group, such as 63382 ('ODFTC' on a phone dialpad). Now connect to that
room in one of the following ways and there is an instant conference with
the group. :

- dial in by phone to +13304090385 (usa) or +31208005160 (nl) and use the 
number you picked as the conference number. No additional cost beyond your
regular calling cost)

- connect for free over the internet with SIP or XMPP to the
conference room by calling the address 
(or whatever number you picked). For instance by using the Blink Qt
client (http://icanblink.com) or Jitsi (http://jitsi.org).

If somebody is interesting in trying this out before the next tc call, let me 
know.
