When Projects Collide!

10Mar10

There was a need to discuss XCRI with others involved in the project based at various institutions dotted around the country.  8 of us needed to discuss topics outlined in a document. Naturally we saw it as an opportunity to use Elluminate.

It should have been a success.

It wasn’t.

At least 2 participants couldn’t get Elluminate working on their pc’s from within their networks. Probably firewall issues, but using software shouldn’t usually involve getting the network team involved to open a port to make it work.

In the end we switched to Skype, which wasn’t totally without sound quality issues. But we talked for over an hour without anyone dropping out and I didn’t have to spend any time chatting to IT support to make it work.
