XMeeting is a SIP and H.323 compliant and Open Source videoconferencing client for Mac OS X (10.4 and later). The current version of XMeeting is 0.3.4. Historically, XMeeting has evolved from ohphoneX. However, XMeeting has been rewritten from scratch and uses a totally different software architecture than ohphoneX. Although not yet being a 1.xx release, XMeeting is quite stable, has good interoperability with other clients and provides many unique features such as the sophisticated Address Book integration. Much effort has been put into the Mac OS X native GUI. We think the result is worth it!

Now keep up the pressure to be able to use these tools in YOUR school, too. It's a fight worth fighting!

Shared today on another list, this has some excellent, vintage footage from the NBC channel, Time Capsule. Note that you can advance to the next video in the bottom left corner. You may have to watch from home, but many are well worth it.

This was saved in another Diigo list recently. VERY cool app for syncing Microsoft Office with Google Docs. Watch the video overview. Sadly, this is Windows only. The Premium version is $12/yr or just $30 lifetime purchase. If you're a windows district I think it would be well worth the $30 fee.
