The successor to EVO, by the end of 2012, will be a commercial product called SeeVogh. We have started an evaluation process to see if SeeVogh will work for Fermi.

The initial offer from Philippe Galvaz for Fermi would be $10k for an annual subscription, based on our usage from last year which was about 1100 meetings. Richard would like to compare that to WebEx or GoToMeeting

First Test May 7, 2012
Participants: Anders Borgland, Richard Dubois, Heather Kelly
Richard and Heather had no trouble getting connected. Anders could not get the video client to start up and thus was also unable to see desktop shares. Richard acted as the moderator. The moderator controls the start of the meeting, so in effect there is no set meeting time. There is a one page used to set up the details including name and description of the meeting. Richard did not see a way to set "recurrence".
Anders did comment that Richard's audio was particularly clear and strong. Later on during the meeting, we did note that Richard's audio started to fade in and out. It did not seem due to changes in his personal volume.
The default for audio seems to come up with the microphone un-muted - it would be better to do the opposite. Similarly public chat should be on by default as well as the participants list.
Under Menu->About there is a "Copy Log" button, it would be nice to locate this in a more prominant location under Menu. The ability to directly email the SeeVogh support team also seemed to be missing.
The moderator controls the ending of a meeting - if we run over an hour, does the moderator get prompted for to add additional time?
What if the moderator has to leave early but the other meeting participants want to carry on?
Does leaving a meeting mean you have to exit the application entirely? Sometimes it is nice to be able to hop into another meeting.
Is there a capability to browse available meetings?
Is there a password capability?
Will there be the concept of a Fermi "Community" that our group can join?
