Ekiga awarded in Soissons

Ekiga
Ekiga

Ekiga won last week one of the Free Software Awards in Soissons (France). Ekiga was nominated in the "Multimedia" category.

The jury appreciated the quality of the project and the fact that it was original (GnomeMeeting was the first Open Source GUI to support VoIP together with video and the H.323 standard on GNU/Linux in 2001). It is now the first Open Source application to support multiple major VoIP protocols at the same time, again with audio and video.

It is a very good news for that mature and inovative GNOME project. That prize rewards the developers for their hard work during the last 6 years.

Ekiga name

I wish they'd left the name as GnomeMeeting or at least left something like Meeting or Conference in its title to describe what it did.

Congratulations though.
