5 years of Open Source Voice over IP

Damien Sandras has put together a project history of the Ekiga project (formerly GnomeMeeting). "We celebrate this week the 5th birthday of the Ekiga project. Ekiga is the first Open Source software to bring both Voice over IP/IP Telephony and video conferencing to the desktop, since 2001. It quickly became popular, among others thanks to the compatibility with the Netmeeting software. Today, Ekiga has evolved into a mature and stable product which is not limited to Netmeeting anymore, in terms of compatibility. This was made possible thanks to the addition of another protocol, namely SIP."
