Hi! I'm also in the process of trying out if OpenMeetings is a possible alternative to Adobe Connect, with which I'm utterly fed up.
The only problem I had with CentOS is that LibreOffice for CentOS 6 depends on OpenJDK whereas OpenMeetings need Oracle's Java. Somebody better att juggling with with yum probably can probably solve this easily (in which case I'd be grateful for help). Avoiding MySQL sounds like a reasonable idea to me, since I ran into this problem: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENMEETINGS-488 (From what I understood this is very rare.) Right now my only showstopper issues are with recording, so I could suggest you check out if the recording capabilities are sufficient for your needs. In addition to the messages I've posted to the users list, I'm also having this problem: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENMEETINGS-270 Otherwise OpenMeetings would surely do the job just fine for me, so I sincerely hope I can make the recordings work, but I need help from the OM experts for that. :) Friendly greetings, Mikael On 2012.12.12, at 15:09, Nicklas af Ekenstam wrote: > Thanks Dimitri, > > That's helpful nonetheless.
