GnomeMeeting 1.0 Videoconferencing/VoIP Released

Howard Vanbel writes "Apparently the developers of GnomeMeeting have released the final v1.0 version of the videoconferencing/VoIP software. GnomeMeeting started as a final studies work at the Department of Computing Science and Engineering of the Universite Catholique de Louvain and after 3 years of development, GnomeMeeting 1.00 is ready! GnomeMeeting is the most advanced Open Source VoIP and videoconferencing software available - there's more info in the project FAQ."

Encryption

[chrisvdb]

I would very much like to see encryption of the voice stream added to its list of features! This would really set it aside from the competition...

Cheers,
Chris.

Re:Encryption

[tronicum]

Beside that this would be indeed nice, encryption can be done on the transport level.
Setup a VPN or tunnel.

Of course for a large userbase a simple "encrypt session" button would be ideal.

SIP, IAX, etc...

[larsl]

Linphone and Kphone both manage to handle SIP, such that they interoperate well with Asterisk and FWD. I should hope that Gnomemeeting has support for at least SIP in their next release.

Re:But unfortuantely it's h323 only

[heikkih]

Damien Sandras, the main developer of GnomeMeeting, stated today that SIP-support is one of the main targets for GnomeMeeting 2.0, as well as better integration with the rest of the desktop (e-d-s, bonobo and dbus).

Re:Multi-Platform Solution Required

[Doyle]

It uses H323 so it's compatible with a lot of stuff. I use GnomeMeeting to chat to Windows users and OS X users. OpenPhone and NetMeeting for Windows, OhPhoneX for OS X.

Also I believe GnomeMeeting is now (just about) usable on OS X with Fink.

Pronunciation

Do you pronounce it "nomeeting"?
