OpenMeetings is used for web conferencing in FOSS e-learning solution Moodle and Atutor. It was first integrated as a replacement for the proprietary, Flash server based, video conference tool in Dokeos and started from there as an independent open-source application (developed by Sebastian Wagner at the time). Later OpenMeetings community developed integration with several CMS, CRM and other systems.
Starting from 2012 OpenMeetings progress is presented each year at the ApacheCon.
OpenMeetings is currently ported to HTML5.
