The GnomeMeeting machine had an hard disk failure. The disk has been replaced and the backup has been restored. We apologize for the inconvenience caused by the down time.
The GnomeMeeting release schedule has been announced on the GnomeMeeting development mailing list. The strings freeze will last 2 weeks and will be followed by a code freeze of 1 week. The new 1.2 release should be ready and released on the 13th of December.

GnomeMeeting 1.2 is features-frozen. No new features will be added to the code. It means that we have entered the testing phase, then we will have a strings freeze, and a code freeze. Translators will translate during the strings freeze. I plan to announce the start of that strings freeze next week.

We are again coding hard on the future 1.2 release of GnomeMeeting. There will be more internal changes than user-visible changes, but we are paving the way for SIP.
People are often asking me what I think of Skype. What I think is pretty clear...

GnomeMeeting is 3 years old today, as the first public version was released on the 2th of July 2001 right after my graduation. GnomeMeeting was looking like this. Jonita is also 26 years old today, so Happy Birthday!
