Dimdim lets you host online meetings complete with video conferencing, digital whiteboard collaboration, screen sharing and "co-browsing" to navigate the web with others in real-time. The meeting's host can hand control over to a participant and allow that person to drive the meeting and share his/her desktop. Mark up Powerpoint presentations, PDF documents and other digital assets in real-time while discussing your edits with participants. Dimdim allows you to quickly invite new participants to meetings already in progress via email. Flexible chatting capabilities mean you can post public messages to the group or chat privately with individual participants.

Why a JumpBox?

As a complex Java application the Open Source community edition of Dimdim requires considerable technical expertise. It presumes that you have dedicated hardware and an "always-on" instance. With the Dimdim JumpBox and an Amazon Web Services account you can launch an instance to use for a virtual meeting when you need it and shut it down when you're through. Pay for only the time and bandwidth you consume, get SaaS-like convenience while retaining full control over your meeting software. Practice running a meeting on a local instance on your virtualization system and then pay for hosting only when you're ready to conduct the actual meeting.
