Openmeetings is not a google-owned project. it is just hosted at google-code

Other than that…
I have a strong opinion, that quality of audio in podcasts is essential. And 
the classical formula for getting good audio-quality is:

1) All "main" participants of podcast have to write their own audio-tracks 
independently (only their own voice) and after the show those are mixed together
2) Podcast-session is done via Skype. Skype's audio-quality is better than 
anything else and it's easy to add more participants when needed
3) Podcast hosting person additionally records audio which is received via 
skype (track with voices of everyone, except her own). It can serve as the 
backup solution in case someone fails to properly record their voice-track.
4) For live broadcasts, podcast-host mixes his track and incoming skype track 
and sends resulting track to the streaming server.

Proper set-up of audio-interfaces might be non-trivial, but it is possible to 
create sets of instructions on wiki for both hosts and participants.

I understand, that some people might be opposed to idea of using 
"non-opensource solution" such as skype, but it is the one which works and 
works reliably.
