Some projects are using a softphone/webcam to interview the students. Anyhow, just as with anything in Debian, I feel it is really important that the students' first impression of Debian is using Debian-based technology and not a non-free softphone that they may have used in other situations. I believe the most accessible and reliable options for this are a) for calls with only two participants, the new Debian SIP service, using the WebRTC interface at https://rtc.debian.org - the NAT traversal features in the browsers are currently better than in standalone softphones - Students can call us using https://freephonebox.net b) for group video chats, we could use the new Jitsi video bridge, it is a separate product from the Jitsi team, not part of the Jitsi client software. - They had 10 WebRTC browsers connected concurrently at FOSDEM, with a Debian box as the server. - I would be willing to volunteer a VM to run this If other mentors or admins are keen on this, I'd be very happy to help them get started with it. Details are all on the Debian SIP wiki _______________________________________________ Soc-coordination mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/soc-coordination
