It sounds like Ubuntu Gaming has it's first technical project: identify VoIP server and client software suitable for Ubuntu gaming. Part of promoting Ubuntu and open source means showing that we can do as well (or better!); it doesn't say good things when we tell everyone how great open source is and then elect not to use it ourselves. With that in mind, here's a draft of requirements for an Ubuntu Gaming VOIP service: * Runs on Ubuntu Server (LTS?) * DFSG compatible * Capable of being packaged for Ubuntu/Debian * Clients available for Linux, Windows, OSX, etc I asked on #linux-gamers.net and someone seconded Khalid's mumble suggestion of mumble. As it happens, mumble is already packaged for Ubuntu, and the lead developer, Thorvald Natvig, seems to be adaquately taking care of Ubuntu's packages of mumble as well. There are clients on all major platforms, and is based on Thorvald, first, thanks for your work and contributions to Ubuntu and Debian; I'd like to ask you, have I misrepresented anything about mumble? And, do you know of a demo server to perhaps test latency, audio quality, and stability of the client? Are there important requirements you think I've missed?
