I've actually proposed a follow-up talk about the subject for the upcoming mini-DebConf, as a developer of VoIP apps I'm quite keen to (try to) answer questions that people have about why so many things didn't work during the tests on Software Freedom Day http://fr2012.mini.debconf.org/#schedule > We (FSFE) are happy to provide a new mailing list for Free Software > telephony type discussion.

Some people don't like the term telephony, they feel it is restrictive. Real-time communications (RTC) is more generic. The list could be called free-rtc, as long as the long description in the mailman index has the full details, e.g. 'Genuinely free and open Real-Time Communications (RTC), encompassing VoIP, IM and other distributed applications' > Would the list be for generic discussion, or coordination of a > specific task? The `Skype Replacement' headline seems to have stirred up interest. It is always good to have a goal in mind. The list could be formed with the goal `to enable discussion among people who aspire to see genuinely free and open standards for real-time communications become the dominant paradigm, displacing scary proprietary platforms like Skype and Viber' > Do you already have some initial list members in mind?

Not all of them are FSF members, but it is OK for them to use the list too? As for the next steps, I think the min-DebConf and FOSDEM (Feb 2013) are prime opportunities to take further steps. I am submitting a talk proposal on this for FOSDEM, and I would be really interested to know if anyone from FSFE would like to support that or be involved. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJQiCB/AAoJEOm1uwJp1aqDdisP/Rv4/B0MpO3LFXUjxzfJGLRp Je73k/iVBgL1telDoMIZEjXzdRy8kE4SHnW4P5NNcbMdHjG8CgVgnF8ZJ3wiOCjN yhe9+VcG4e3LinLB6Q0Tj3q28s02vCmGS+w2oeF09PNUaUawRrnbdDMBZr9Eg8IL 6nBm3+eeVMuErdGpVCIMvE5ZK1TRKucneui4jM6ZN9VWG1JUt5PxxS5XLQ9MzFDk yi4AkhGPKvuRBsDdYUaGAqA/9pKbq9EGDKovXp52YtR/uDid5nvMHAI5lbxGrxgI oc5v8J1nRSW2g/NreV3+wo2+hlIkcHVwJ7A1BV8A8b0pE+WVzwoYU/tSqo94dWuJ SZzWSLMcS4CWmrykwQVnt2H4Hmx2vGTA80Qs2I+QHtBMtZg3zgBcbzg6MeuUewm0 t41YFg6h6KD4kKLKl5JLZ1K0CslFsgVfDC8UC2+5dUBIMnY4T0ZXwFbRET1CtejR ejwqqIwtRdqUJegFC5EsAkb7kDgsQRzwxNV4OBhG42H+mnX8sdPwDWLfbtwQv2CC /6oD6smt7ZuITApREFS7XKcTCdk8NfD76wZKhMjxQY5aaXdFvLEI+M28DW0mTm0x qXpDgZ9jrde+D/51GmCTGQwHRsgful4AE/0TNrGiCzHbHKlWyjvfXCTkD1/qG2Vf +ks0M7UPjWW0fz0wJCLF =ts1f -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Discussion mailing list [email protected] https://mail.fsfeurope.org/mailman/listinfo/discussion
