Web conferences
Besides asynchronuous communication via above mailing list the group has regular online meetings. Polls for dates and invitation is provided via the list.

So far we used two applications for the meetings
 * AdobeConnect on https://collab.switch.ch/tao_communication/
 * Works for most of us, but problems related to Adobe's Flash are common. However especially Linux users had Problems even connecting to the meeting room.


 * BigBlueButton on http://bbb.zawiw.de/
 * Free and open source application which seems to cure (above connection) problems for Linux users. However not an alternative to avoid the common shortcomings of Flash. At current time there has not been a hint to any application avoiding Flash in general, will maybe come up with HTML5 one day.
