I only just noticed this topic.. that'll teach me for not visiting often enough.
I'd volunteer my place for a BBQ and some readings. QLD even has a long weekend this weekend.. but looks like I'm the only one at my BBQ
You are welcome to join us on Gizmo at the appointed time.

We would definitely give you your Librivox Scout badge of honor if you joined us for the gizmo call at 4am your time.
This might be a good time to remind people about the pleasures of time zones.
We are meeting at 6pm Greenwich Mean Time. Most of North America and Europe is on Daylight savings time so adjust for local time accordingly.
For a reference point. It is currently 8:18 am EDT here in Ontario Canada. The Conference call is at 2pm.-- a little under 4 hours from now. Check the timestamp of this message and add 4 to help you meet us.

Esther and I are here in beautiful Midland, Ontario Canada. Skype and Gizmo are both running and we are available for conversation.
Skype: ductapeguy
Gizmo: ductapeguy
We'll meet you all in my gizmo conference room in about 2-1/2 hours.
Type conference into Gizmo.
Now here's the non-intuitive tricky bit. You cant paste the conference number into that window, you have to punch it in on the virtual dialpad. (See the tab bar at the top).
We'll see you there.
Room # 5541608.

1) I already have a gizmo conference room set up, and have used it occasionally.
2) Gizmo has a built in record function. A low bit rate record function but a record function nonetheless.
3) There are gizmo clients for MAC, WIN and Linux-- (Ventrilo does not have a linux client).
4) There is a way to call the gizmo conference room from a telephone for those who do not have gizmo installed on their computers.
5) It's free.
