Two interviews of Damien Sandras, author of GnomeMeeting and one of the organizers of FOSDEM, have recently been published on the Journal du Net and on the O'Reilly network.

You can learn more about the views of the author about the future of GnomeMeeting as a professionnal VoIP application, respecting protocols and standards and most notably soon SIP, but also about his conception of things "do one thing but do it well" for the project. You can also read about the new features of GnomeMeeting 1.2 and what you can expect in the future. There will be big changes.

You can read the Journal du Net interview (in french) and the O'Reilly Network interview (in english). GnomeMeeting is hosted on http://www.gnomemeeting.org.

Did you rtfa? It says that Damian believes in the one tool for one job design philosophy. ie Do one thing well not a lot of things poorly.

An example of how this is a better idea is Firefox Thunderbird vs. Mozilla. Personally I prefer one app to do its job well, and not a lot of other apps jobs not so well. But there certainly is a place for apps that do a lot of things.
