Which would too a part describe our organisation too ... good to know
it's being done.

We run an ownCloud server so I have experience with that. Unless
anyone knows anything to deter me I'd use that, but still, again, good
to know it's being done!

We're pretty small so it might work (150 in organisation + partners
then and not many would be using it at the same time) - only
experience I have with Mumble though is as a game communication tool
for Eve Online =)

Thanks for your thoughts!
