The first official release of the open-source alternative to Microsoft's (Quote, Chart) NetMeeting PC videoconferencing software has just rolled out of GnomeMeeting.org, the small open source group.
Version 1.0 of the GnomeMeeting software package is a H.323 videoconferencing application for Linux PCs that allows users to make audio and video calls over the Internet, as long as recipients are equipped with H.323-compatible equipment. (H.323 (define) is a set of communications protocols used to transmit and receive audio and video information over the Internet.)
