  1. Dim Dim by ya+really · · Score: 3, Interesting · on Affordable and Usable Video Conferencing?

    I've been recently setting up video streaming for a client and found that dim dim is free for up to 20 people (using their closed source software) and unlimited if you feel like building it yourself with the opensource version. It's not bad either, I can't complain for the price :)

    How about DimDim? Featurelist:

    * Audio, Video conferencing and chat
    * Share screen / webpages
    * Present Powerpoint and PDF
    * Whiteboard and Annotations
    * Recording functionality
    * No install to host / join meetings (except if you share your screen as a host of course, but I think the installation works mostly from the browser, so it's easy)
    * Free online service for personal use up to 20 users (if you don't want to install / run the server yourself)

    You can even run your own server, and extend it yourself. It's open source:
    * Most functionality is available in the open source version!! Webex, go away ;)
    * VMWare image makes it easy to set up your own server quickly and painlessly, to check it out fast You don't need your own server though, that's more for hardcore users.

    Friggin' amazing if you love Java (I don't, but if I'd like to setup a server myself I would gladly use it). I have given it a spin, and I believe the latest version should be pretty stable now.

    Anybody tried dimdim?

    I get the feeling from the wording on the download page ( http://www.dimdim.com/opensource/dimdim_open_source_community_edition.html ) that they're not that interested in talking about the "Open Source Community Edition."

    DimDim.com seems to have most of what you are looking for and is open source.

  6. other low cost video conferencing solutions by twasserman · · Score: 1 · on "Always On" Impromptu Video Conferencing Solution?
    I'm also a fan of the Mac and iChat, but many people have to support Windows as well as the Mac.

    I've been very pleased with SightSpeed, which will support a small conference (up to 4 people) cross-platform (Mac/Windows) at 30 fps. One-to-one video chat is free to registered users, but organizing a conference requires SightSpeed Pro, which is US $5/month or US $50/year.

    I've also been watching DimDim, an open source video conferencing startup. Their solution is still at the Alpha stage, so it is too early to see if it will be competitive. They are promising that it will be free, so it's worth keeping an eye on their site.
