Hi The appliance referenced in the first email from Diogo was built by me, I made this often, not yet for the 1.7 version I'm afraid. The idea is to be easy to anyone to try openmeetings without all the issues of platform / components / versions compatibility, it is just starting the virtual machine and that's it. For example, running openmeetings on Ubuntu Server 11.04 64 bit is not just to run some apt-get commands and go, you have to build some packages from source because they are not available, etc (for example swftools). I've even used one of the previous VMs I built on the company where I work to have an easier way of communicating between our different geographic sites, our IT support guys put it temporarily running on their ESX VMware platform. Now they supply a service based on Scopia, so "my" VM is not used anymore - one nice thing about Scopia that I can't compete with Openmeetings is the integration with other videoconference systems. We have several videoconference rooms with Polycom hardware videoconference systems, and we are able to interact with these systems in our PCs through the Scopia service.
