GnomeMeeting

GnomeMeeting is an open-source VoIP and video conferencing application for GNOME. It is based on the OpenH323 library and primarily uses the H.323 protocol, although support for SIP is in development. It supports many audio and video codecs, and is interoperable with Microsoft NetMeeting.

GnomeMeeting was written by Damien Sandras in order to graduate from the Université catholique de Louvain.
