Hello

Web conferencing is major growth area, especially with VOIP.

MS is investing into LiveMeeting, a very powerful, but expensive
(subscription) based solution. I guess there are also major IBM and Sun

Alternative services.

Is anyone aware of lightweight Open Source solution. Supporting basic
text, VoiP, Webcam video, Whiteboard and Apps/desktop sharing
facilites.

I have seen WebHuddle, a Java based solution hosted upon JBOSS
webserver.

Any other solutions ?

Thanks

Jules

believe it or not just about any windows (98 on up) based computer has
NetMeeting (conf from the command line) that has crude voip capabilities.
 
yeah I know about Netmeeting, but I believe it will no longer be
supported in Windows Vista.
 
Well, it would be kind of hard not to support it, but the protocol is pretty
strait-up. I've written several apps that do that, and its a pretty
standard protocol. If your not up to bare-metal, see SourceForge.
