About the Megaconference:
For the past 10 years Megaconference has occurred as a result of a tremendous amount of volunteer effort and good will. The goal was to connect people everywhere on Earth where someone chose to participate and further the use of videoconferencing in education and research. Megaconference also advanced the state of the art in videoconferencing technology.
On the chosen dates, speakers from across the globe shared their latest real-world uses of H.323 videoconferencing and other compatible systems, while using these videoconferencing systems to do so. The audience consisted of:

The Technology
A system of distributed, H.323 and other compatible multipoint control units (MCUs) located around the world were cascaded together to create a cutting-edge Internet videoconference infrastructure.
The Megaconference Mailing List
The Megacon email list is a general purpose discussion list for all topics related to H.323 and compatible video conferencing technologies. Many people posts things there, ask questions etc, that are not directly related to the Megaconference itself. There are probably 800 subscribers. It is the largest list on this topic. People who work for commercial equipment vendors are allowed to subscribe, but with the understanding that their participation is informational (both directions), and cannot be used for sales purposes. When you register for the Megaconference, you are automatically added to the list so you will receive all the announcements.
To subscribe to the list at other times, send us an email and explain who you are and why you would like to be on the list.
It is normal each year after the Megaconference for a small number of folks to unsubscribe, as they are perhaps not interested in other video conferencing topics beyond the Megaconfererence.
If you would like to unsubscribe from this mailing list send e-mail to:
listproc@lists.acs.ohio-state.edu
with no subject, and in the body of the message put:
