Yugma is pretty interesting. It allows remote desktop etc.. works on
linux/mac and windows. There is a free and non free version.

There is also openmeeting which is like gotomeeting but opensource and
flash based.

As far as "recording" your meetings nothing beats and 300 handycam with
firewire. For linux use Kino for Mac use Imovie or whatever it is.

PgUS is considering using Yugma Pro for a bunch of stuff.
