In the past I have not participated in these teamspeak meetings for a number of reasons, mostly centered around TeamSpeak itself, which is most definitely NOT open source, and not terribly good either, in my opinion. The developers are quite open about the fact that they will NEVER open it up:

Yeah, I wasn't going to say anything and avoid getting political with a group that I'm just getting started with, but I had exactly the same feelings when I looked at the Teamspeak client. I was somewhat relieved that they have a Linux client, but the software is disappointing and the license is even more disappointing.
"Free for non-commercial" is a self-promotional scam, it's short sided to adopt a closed source program like this.
I can't say that I'm a purist, I do what I need to do in order to get my work done. I have a Mac that I use to run photoshop and access fancy printers, but I probably wouldn't use teamspeak if it were up to me.
