This device addresses a lot of those issues. Walk into the room; joining the hangout booked for this meeting just requires a single button press.
The Chromebox is bound to a room (GApps resource) so it is aware of which meetings start when, and shows this to you on the screen.
Also, the Mac Mini solution involves creating named GApps accounts, and inevitably those sessions time out or people log them out. These devices also solve that problem (they are 'bound' to your GApps domain), which for a company with more than a few conference rooms can get really old.
