GnomeDesktop has announced the winning of an award by the Ekiga project. "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."
