Interesting open source alternatives for handling online meetings, videos, screenshots, and files:

You get what you pay for: these free versions are far more limited than their full-featured commercial cousins.

However, depending on which particular features you need, sometimes they suffice.

They also provide an easy, no-cost, first step into these categories.

    I would add to this comprehensive list:

    1. Create Pdfs for free: Pdf Creator, Pdf995
    2. Hold online meetings: Yugma.com. In the paid version you can also record your meeting. But if you have either Camtasia or Camstudio, you don’t need that.

    Hope this helps.

    I stumbled upon another cool project at http://showmypc.com, made from standard Open Technologies
    Some of these projects do have a very real value.

    As the author in this blog mentioned about the features, most of these projects are more than enough for most Online collaboration needs.

    Thanks for the note about Dimdim. We’re super excited to be a free, easier Webex alternative and we’re about to launch our open beta program so come check us out.

    We want to help the world meet freely.

    THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

    We use WebEx at home and then saw that it is NOT free at home…

    added ‘free’ to WebEx google and voila! Here we are.

    I’ve been using 3 of the 6 mentioned and now I will be using all 6.

    Thank you again! It is very much appreciated.

    Thanks for the tips,

    I’ve tested DimDim and looks great. I created a real free account and it’s working for me.

    Thanks again.
