Web Huddle

Robin Good from Kolabora.com has written an extensive (as always) article about a new open source, cross platfrom online conference system.
Written in Java it works inside your browser on HTTPS with no popups, and allows realtime text, voice, and powerpoint. Power point slides are comverted to JPG and GIF format though animations are not converted. Additionally full recording of sessions is allowed.
Robin has a lot more details including technical ones, a 37 min recording of his discussion with John the creator of this free application in his article.
Host a session on WebHuddle's servers directly (you need to request an account) or download it from source forge and host it yourself.
