Description
Ekiga, which was originally called GnomeMeeting, is a free and open-source application that provides SoftPhone, video conferencing, and instant messaging capabilities via the Internet. It offers high-definition sound and video quality comparable to that of DVDs. Utilizing the two main telephony standards, SIP and H.323, it ensures compatibility with a wide range of service providers along with various hardware and software solutions. The application made its debut in 2001 under its former name as part of a graduation project. At that time, technologies like voice over IP, IP telephony, and videoconferencing were still emerging and not widely adopted, unlike today. The GNU/Linux desktop environment was still developing, and multimedia functionalities were very limited. Many webcam drivers had significant issues, ALSA was yet to be introduced, and achieving full-duplex audio posed challenges. Performance was often a concern, particularly due to the prevalence of proprietary codecs. Despite these technological hurdles, Ekiga emerged as a pioneering solution! Its early introduction laid the groundwork for advancements in communication tools that we often take for granted today.
Description
Glipper serves as a clipboard manager tailored for the GNOME desktop environment, allowing users to keep a log of text copied to their clipboard for easy retrieval. It enhances user experience through a variety of plugins that introduce additional functionality. Unlike earlier iterations that operated as a GNOME applet, the latest version employs an app indicator to offer support for both Ubuntu Unity and the Gnome Classic interface. This tool enables users of Unix-like systems to revisit a history of X Selections, allowing quick reselection for pasting. Glipper is frequently likened to KDE's Klipper as its counterpart within GNOME. While earlier versions allowed operation outside of GNOME, the current version 1.0 is exclusively for GNOME due to its deep integration with its features. Nonetheless, it can still function within Xfce4's panel by utilizing the XfApplet wrapper, thereby making it compatible with any custom session incorporating xfce4-panel, such as those using Openbox. This versatility ensures that users can benefit from Glipper's capabilities across different desktop environments.
