I dont have much experience. I have used Ekiga a bit without video. It could be a solution. I suggest we use something that comes with Ubuntu and has a simple setup.

ow... unfortunately, last year we used the videocon facility of the venue. For this year, we are streaming (without interaction) using another facility of a TV network here. But for the interaction we will be using skype. Not really an elegant (pure) foss but way simpler to set-up. Any other suggestion on the tool we can use?
