Simply LinuxVideoIP

Simply.com is currently under critical path in their port of Simply =
VideoIP
to the Linux platform. (A WIN32 bundled version containing the software
combined with the SimplyVideo CompressionCAM is available now.) The =
product
will provide "NetMeeting TM" functional capability for Linux users in =
the
realm of video conferencing over IP. With the acquisition of CorelVideo =
and
Xerox Liveworks, Simply.com has obtained a codebase providing the =
essential
components to provide this functionality under fast track for an =
interesting
mix of video conferencing, audio conferencing, chat, whiteboarding,
application sharing, & features such as business card and file exchange.
ITU-T H.323 standards observance makes the product fully compatible with
other H.323/IP offerings, allowing Intranet & Internet video =
collaboration a
reality for Linux users.

Simply.com has approached vendors from well known & well entrenched =
Linux
distributions for inclusion of this product under OEM. As the product =
moves
into late Beta, a developers site will be launched containing a public
release of the code under the GNU/GPL, making it possible for developers =
to
add value, customize & create derivative works. Simply.com is committed =
to
the concept of the "open source" movement for Linux development & =
furthering
product offerings that are video conferencing centric to the Linux
community.
