Open Meetings is a free open source program which comes with all the stuff you need for maintaining your own web conferencing system.

Ah yes…$50.00 a pair (including a year’s worth of legal services should a company not far from Cupertino…
Read MorePostbox – a new kind of email client
I’ve just ditched Thunderbird and started using Postbox as my main email client and it’s really rather nice. It’s still in beta, but seems very solid. It may seem an odd time to be talking about a desktop email client, what with the rise and rise of the web mail paradigm, but I’m still a fan of locally hosted data where it can be backed up by online synchronisation. My Gmail account does the real heavy lifting, but I find a…
