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.

Re: No <X>Meeting, though?

"It's functionality is completely different, and it does none of what it used to do."

Is this a joke?

H.323 support is identical in Ekiga and GnomeMeeting.
I'm always surprised when I see people rejecting their own stupidity on others just to prove themselves they are not that stupid.
