Ekiga 2.0 Released

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the truly-free-speech dept.

Some Anonymous Coward writes "After about one year of development the former GnomeMeeting team has released Ekiga. Ekiga is the successor of the popular GnomeMeeting. Ekiga calls itself the very "first Open Source application to support both H.323 and SIP". Ekiga is based on the h323/sip codebase, provided by the openh323 project. Also introduced with this release is ekiga.net, a platform to provide the community with free sip addresses."

      I check my dictionary and the closest is "ekika". Meaning "armpit". FYI.

    C'mon! "Ekiga?" Is that the sound of a penguin expectorating?

    I can deal with some odd-ball names. Heck, I run "Ubuntu" with Gnome and "Sylpheed". But Ekiga - It's not really "Skype" or "Gizmo", is it?

    I hope that his next girlfriend has a better name. Maybe something like gvideoconference.
