What I had in mind is to use someone's cellphone as a presence detector. Let me explain: - as the first thing you take along when leaving a room or location, is your own cellphone, why not use chan_mobile and a bluetooth dongle on your on PC (as you're not supposed to be within bluetooth range from an asterisk server ;-)) to advertise you're away from your desk - it seems that chan_mobile is not up to expectations for voice delivery but would it remain the same for presence detection, if may call it this way ?
