#12Any guidance on the use-case of using this compared to Uberconference?
The open source part of this seems nice, as opposed to figuring it out yourself with Twilio. They have it all packaged to run on Google App Engine. Though the timing isn't great now that Twilio supports their own "serverless hosting" via AWS Lambda. They should probably offer an option to deploy it that way as well.
This isn't earth shaking to me, but there are companies that still do a fair amount of plain old telephone conferences, and overpay for it.

#13The descriptions are slim and there's no screenshots of the product in use, why would someone click 'Go' on a paid plan after seeing barely any information?
Though they could bubble up some of the specs/features from Twilio (https://www.twilio.com/voice/conference)

#14Too many layers of oxymorons for my taste. Open Source. Twilio. Plans and pricing. I'm yet to see a solid, usable and mature FOSS WebRTC implementation, hubl.in is a good candidate though.

What's your opinion on https://inthelocus.com/ ? They got screen sharing without plugins. Most WebRTC-ish implementations don't have this but apparently whitelisting by Mozilla/Google is necessary to do that, so FOSS is not possible at all for screen sharing?
Anyways, that is not FOSS. And worse, they mention patents on their developments.

This is just old fashioned telephone conferencing. Dial a number, enter a conference code. Uberconference has screen sharing, dial-out vs dial-in, etc. The open source part of this seems nice, as opposed to figuring it out yourself with Twilio.
