You could try using Jitsi (jitsi.org).  We used it at my last job for
multiple users to video conference using a closed server (i.e. we ran
our own Jitsi server at work).  It's free and has Debian/Ubuntu packages
(we ran it on CentOS, I think, or maybe Fedora).

Seems a good way for people to interact who aren't close enough to
attend meetings.  Maybe even bring in remote speakers via web
conferencing.

Just a thought.
