I used BigBlueButton between 2010-2013 for remote training classes on OZ Technology.

The infrastructure was built over AWS, automatically stopping the servers after all people leaving the channels. For starting it, it was monitoring the training schedule and 'opening/loading' the channel a few moments before the class start.

Cheap, open-source and reliable.

AWS doesn’t necessary sound like OSS, but to each his own ;)

It’s definitely great that such an architecture worked for you and also shows how hard it can be to run a full OSS stack these days.
