[TYPO3-doc] What tool for our meetings?

[Roberto Torresani]

Hi François!
Some year ago I worked on project Openmeetings, I don't know if you
have it evaluated.
It is a webconference written in openlazslo, for the client, and with
red5 on the server.
The project has gone forward and is now an Apache Incubator Project:
http://incubator.apache.org/openmeetings/

I started to create an extension to connect TYPO3 to webservice of
openmeetings, but I never finished.....
There is a demo at this url: http://demo.openmeetings.de/openmeetings/

If you want I can make a installation for the TYPO3 group (on a my server or)

(I don't know what were the problems to connected with BBB, and if
Openmeetings could be resolved)

Let me know
Roberto
