My team uses Google+ Hangouts extensively (mostly for daily standups,

people at a time. It also supports desktop sharing now.
I'm thinking we might have >1 methods for connecting from within the
breakout sessions, depending on who we need to bring in - some WebEx, some G+,
some Skype, some of us even love BigBlueButton. :)
Additionally, we've had success in some Ubuntu summits by
icecasting
the live audio to the internet, and dedicating 1 of 2 projectors in
the room to an IRC channel, where remote, listening users post their
questions and comments. Also, a big +1 on Etherpad -- essential for
this sort of thing.
+1 on Icecast, we've done that with Fedora events. +1 to IRC channel
projection, too, very good stuff. Audio stream + IRC are useful for
Q&A, for example.
I unfortunately won't be able to make this first summit, so
I'd very
much appreciate a way to listen and contribute remotely. Cheers!
We'll catch you next time. :) Do you know if Mark Baker is attending?
I know we have a horrible conflict (the bane of event planning :( ),
and yes, this is one reason I'll commit to making video + audio
happening.
