openCU is going to become an crossplattform, open source implementation of CU-SeeMe, a video-conferencing protocol. written in C++
openCU is made to close the gap between Multipoint Control Unit based expensive hardware solutions and proprietary, web based subscription solutions like Adobe breeze (Macromedia Breeze) or Webex from Cisco.
The Project, started in October 2008 after Roozbeh Zabihollahi joined the project as a partner. The goal is to create a selfconfiguring, scalable, interactive, streaming plattform for all operating systems.
In conjunction with a reflector software it allows for customized distribution of conference media, so that nothing is transmitted unless it is used.
The client software has “alpha “status and binary packages for Windows XP are available. The software is double licenseced under the Agpland a commercial license.
