Apache OpenMeetings: open source replacement for GoToMeeting/Webex

All of these "webex-replacement" solutions seem to have a horrible case of feature creep.<p>SOAP API? Private Messages? Calendar?<p>Isn't there a plain and simple solution? Something like an open version of the google plus hangouts

There is a company in the current batch of YC companies that is in this space as well, Screenleap. To share your screen with me, you go to screenleap.com, click the share button, and get a 9 digit number. You give that 9 digit number to me, which I then enter on the same screenleap.com, and I can see your screen.<p>No visible revenue stream, but those are overrated anyways, right?

Anybody else see the coincidence between the Apache announcement of the new Citrix sponsorship (platinum level) and this? What does Citrix gain out of sponsoring an organization that competes with their product line?

I thought the real issue here is that you either need server infrastructure or sufficient intermediate nodes to do NAT hole punching (like Skype)?

Google Hangouts are a nice replacement honestly. Just wish there was some calendar integration and performance was better.

Flash? I mean really? Shouldn't it be using HTML5 etc? Flash is so '95 - an impression I get more and more from new projects at Apache. It starts to look as if Apache becomes a dump store for old code.

Looks great, I agree with the other comments based on those screenshots they have a lot of work to do on usability if they want people to use it. Looks like the microsoft word of webinar software.

i have worked with Red5 previously. Its a good streaming server for putting together a POC quickly but not the best tool for scalability and reliability. I wonder how this new effort scales on top of Red5<p>Apache OpenMeetings seem to have got all the features of a typical webmeeting but I wonder if it would be usable by a typical non-geek user
