Open Webinar Software that runs on Linux

Hi,

I am trying to find some "Open Source" software that can do a webinar.  

It either has to handle clients of the major OSes (Linux, OS/X, MS) or
has to be browser based.  The less that has to be installed on the
client, the better.

The server side would ideally be Linux.

The server side software could either be hosted or downloadable to the
server.

Ideally the software would allow:

Video and Audio transmission of the presenter to the clients, the
ability to show *Office slides to the clients, and allow the clients to
chat back to the presenter (audio and video coming back is not
necessary)

Additionally it would be nice if the software also allowed for
scheduling the meeting, could capture the video/audio and allow it to be
downloaded or played back later.

The software does not have to be gratis, but it does have to be "Open",
and it would be better if it was "freely developed".

DIMDIM would have been a good choice, but they were recently "sold", and
the code and accessibility to DIMDIM seems to be up in the air right
now.

Thanks in advance for any ideas along this line.
