Hi Sebastian I general it is a very good idea! I would comment however that you do not need integration into Rave, but need to make OpenMeetings work with OpenSocial. That will get you rave integration capabilities, but also integration capabilities into all other OpenSocial compatible portals out there (e.g. iGoogle, Liferay, etc).
We did some work on combining BigBlueButton some time ago and created a gadget for that to allow starting a conference with the people in your (OpenSocial)group from the portal gui. The code is here for inspiration <http://code.google.com/p/bbbmw/> As you suggest also, we mainly made use of the available APIs to interact between OpenSocial and BBB, that should probably work well for OpenMeetings as well.
