Yes the easiest way is that you either wait for the release or you downlaod
a nightly Build (but you might wait 1 week cause there will a new release
soon).

You might need a Sys-Admin that does the installation.

OpenMeetings includes a System Backup and Import function (Administration >
Backup)
If you have customized Source Code you will have to get in touch with the
programmer that has done those modifications.

Thanks for your positive feedback,
Sebastian
