thanks for your message and your interest!

What we do already is two things:

First, we have a meeting room at the IRC chat in parallel to the phone 
conference. Mainly, for sending out links and text snippets, but of 
course, it can also be used for aiding hear impaired people, i.e. for 
summarizing discussion and acting as a "gateway".

Second, we keep MP3 records and minutes of all calls, so they can be 
listened to afterwards.

However, honestly spoken, I have not much experience in the needs for 
hearing impaired, so any advice you can give is highly welcome! What 
could we do for you to make attending the calls easier? Is there any 
help we can provide?

Would be an honour to have you on the call!

Florian
