While simple to phrase, the change would require a reasonable amount of coding and so it may take some time before we can expect the developers to adopt and then code the change.
While you are waiting, please don’t discount Openmeetings existing ability to invite a person to a meeting room, either in the meeting room or by calendar event, even when that person does not have an Openmeetings account, as this would answer your statement “It would also be useful when we are doing a demo for a specific customer, where we could just send them the meeting link”.

Yes, this is pretty much what I'm after. I currently use webex for these kind of webcasts, but would very much like to use OpenMeetings instead. Let's say I offer a webcast, and announce that in one of our newsletters. Then anyone who reads it can just click the link, and and enter their name and/or email, and then join. It would also be useful when we are doing a demo for a specific customer, where we could just send them the meeting link, without them registering (since they will probably only use this service once).

This would be handy for Web Casts? Is that want you are thinking? I don’t know how to write the change, but understanding the actual issue and having a solution planned is half way there.
