[Aust-NZ] Webinar - Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial Applications

[Byron Cochrane]

Hmm, maybe Linux users can participate after all. This is from the Goto
meeting faqs page:

"Does the Web Viewer work on Mac or Linux systems?

Yes, the GoToMeeting Web Viewer works on Mac and Linux systems that meet
the above requirements (even though GoToMeeting does not officially
support Linux). If you have difficulties using the Web Viewer on Linux,
our Global Customer Support team cannot help you."

Maybe worth a try. Will report back Wednesday.

Cheers,
Byron
