GnomeMeeting 1.2 aka "The Cocumella Release" available!

After a few months of work, GnomeMeeting 1.2 is ready to be released. This new release has required a lot of work and of polishing, and it will most probably be the last release to support only H.323. The next release should also support SIP, and you can expect BETA releases soon.
GnomeMeeting 1.2 has many new features, including the ability to share your contacts between GnomeMeeting and Novell Evolution 2.00. Another big new feature is the possibility to do PC-To-Phone calls at interesting rates using only your soundcard, no extra hardware is required. Please see the FAQ for more information about PC-To-Phone calls. We have to finally mention that GnomeMeeting 1.2 supports STUN and is easier to configure to go through NAT routers that do not support H.323.
You can download GnomeMeeting 1.2 at the usual location. Packages for Fedora Core 3 and SuSE 9.2 are coming soon...
We are also looking for a new rack to host seconix.com (CVS packages, ILS server, ...), so if you have contacts in a company that could sponsor such a request, don't hesitate to contact us.
The FAQ and screenshots have been updated.
