OMwiki:About
OpenMeetings.org is run as a sole proprietorship by George Chriss. The project welcomes submission of recorded, open-to-the-public meetings for the purpose of being transcribed and annotated by volunteer editors.
The domain name was registered on 7-June-2009 and hosts a MetaVidWiki instance known as "OMwiki". (MetaVidWiki is an extension of Semantic MediaWiki.) Upcoming OMwiki features include a mailing list, thumbnail preview support, and the creation of a basic internal structure. All content and software tools are free/libre as detailed on Copyrights.
OMwiki will operate within a content-neutral point of view. Transcripts and annotations can and should be improved for fairness, accuracy, and precision. Any political commentary should be published elsewhere.
Hardware or financial donations to support this project may be sent via Paypal or check/money order.
- The two major costs to date include:

OpenMeetings.org would not be possible without the tireless development work done by those interested in building an open society---in both the technical and social sense.
Finally, OpenMeetings.org should not be confused with openmeetings open-source web-conferencing software.
