2014-06-19 conference call¶

IMPORTANT: note that WebEx on Mac OS X is completely broken, [plugin now fixed, but audio doesn't work] probably by a recent system upgrade. in Firefox the plugin freezes at the blue/green ball, and in Chrome it displays the error "WebEx64 General Plugin Container has crashed". reinstalling it, using a clean user account, and using a previous version of the plugin do not fix the problem; the only workaround is to run WebEx in Windows or Linux (eg. in a VM).
