I've published the Docbook source code of the RTC Quickstart Guide on
Github:
https://github.com/opentelecoms-org/RTCQuickstartGuide
Can anybody make any suggestions about strategies for the future of the
guide, for example, how to make translations available in other languages?
There is a session at DebConf15[1] where we will look at the issues
people are having with Free RTC. It is 17:00 local time, 15:00 UTC, on
Monday, 17 August.
If anybody has any problems they would like to see discussed at the
session, please email them on this list
The details of this session:
https://summit.debconf.org/debconf15/meeting/318/challenges-and-opportuniti…
The room doesn't have live video streaming but we may try to run Jitsi
Meet and we may try to record the session so people can watch it later.
Please note the Chromium version in Debian jessie doesn't work[2] for
WebRTC at present, it is necessary to manually install the wheezy version:
https://packages.debian.org/wheezy/chromium
and you will need to use that if you want to access Jitsi Meet for the
session

Hi,
I subscribed now to this list and I want to present me:
I'm a student working on a Final Degree Project that consists on
puting the capabilities of VoIP inside the guifi.net network.
guifi.net is a telecommunications network that is developed with an
agreement that guarantees that the network is freely accessible, open
to participation, open to knowledge and neutral in data transport. The
network interconnects the people that takes part in it (the community)
and facilitates the access to Internet. The guifi.net foundation gives
legal support to the agreement and the network.
I think opentelecoms.org project on VoIP federation is very interesting.
Here you have the git repository where I am working on it:
https://github.com/pedro-nonfree/deploying-voip-in-community-networks
Feedback is welcome.
Is there an IRC chat where I can find some of you?
Hi!
Prosody is becoming a ClearOS app, as part of Tiki Suite.
What is ClearOS? What is Tiki Suite? Let me give you some background
information :-)
Tiki Suite is a selection of Free / Libre / Open Source Software
(FLOSS) server, web, mobile and desktop apps with a concerted focus on
greater interoperability, security and adaptability, which is aimed at
small & medium-sized organizations. The Tiki Suite is especially
suited to decentralized and knowledge-centric organizations and offers
most (80%+) of the features all organizations need, such as: Email,
Website & Blog, Shopping Cart, Intranet & Project Management,
E-learning, Social Networking, Knowledge base, File sharing, Issue
Tracker, Video-conferencing, LDAP, VPN, Gateway, Network, etc. You can
install anywhere (home, office, laptop, data center, etc.)
https://suite.tiki.org/Tiki+Suite
"How come all our systems can't work together?" is a common
frustration. Most organizations use dozens or even hundreds of
software applications, systems and online services. Interoperability
between them is a constant struggle. Time is wasted moving data from
system to system. Data & feature duplication, data silos, dependency
hell, etc. Organizations are held back by the complexity.
Tiki Suite is arguably the most features you could ever get from a
relatively small number of components.
https://suite.tiki.org/Tiki+Suite+Features
Each component of the suite has a proven track record to manage its
own internal complexities, and, as a community, we are handling the
interoperability between the components. So your organization can
maintain full control of all your data, with Free / Libre / Open
Source software (FLOSS). You can self-host on premise or on rented
servers. It can be customized to your needs. And we urge you to
contribute to this community-driven and innovative project.
This project was born out of Tiki Wiki CMS Groupware. Tiki is 11 years old and:
* http://tiki.org/FLOSS+Web+Application+with+the+most+built-in+features
* http://tiki.org/FLOSS+Web+Application+with+the+fastest+release+cycle
* http://info.tiki.org/article188-Tiki-reaches-500-contributors-with-commit-a…
* http://info.tiki.org/article192-Tiki-Passes-1-Million-Downloads
Tiki's success is due to a lot of hard work of course, but also to its
unique development model. All projects are unique, but the "Tiki
model" is more unique than most :-) Now, the Tiki Model has been
extended to a software suite: https://tiki.org/Model
ClearOS is a cloud-connected Server, Network, and Gateway operating
system designed for homes and distributed organizations. ClearOS is a
central component of Tiki Suite and has a very large number of well
integrated features to choose from: Mail & Webmail, LDAP, VPN &
Firewall, etc. Most of the apps are available via a point & click web
interface and Prosody is becoming one of these apps. For special needs
or things not yet available as apps, it's a GNU/Linux distro based on
a "Prominent North American Enterprise Linux Vendor" so you can
install from RPM, etc.
http://www.clearfoundation.com/https://suite.tiki.org/ClearOS
The Real Time Communication (RTC) part of Tiki Suite is inspired by
the excellent http://www.rtcquickstart.org/ guide. We want this to
become as much as possible a point & click installation experience,
using Prosody as the XMPP component.
A key part of Tiki Suite is to have a high level of integration
between the components. For example, users have the same logins in all
the apps. Thus, when you create a user in the ClearOS user system
(which is OpenLDAP), this login works for all apps: Prosody & Jitsi,
Tiki, Zarafa & Thunderbird, ActiveSync, OpenVPN, File shares (Samba),
Kaltura & BigBlueButton.
The Prosody part is documented here:
http://www.clearcenter.com/support/documentation/clearos_guides/setting_up_…http://www.clearcenter.com/support/documentation/clearos_guides/configuring…
Special thanks to Matthew Wild (Prosody) and Dave Loper (ClearOS) for
the solution and documentation. The next step is to turn this into a
point & click experience.
Another key part of Tiki Suite is Jitsi and Jitsi Meet. Jitsi
provisioning via Tiki is part of upcoming Tiki 12.3:
https://doc.tiki.org/Jitsihttps://suite.tiki.org/Jitsi
We look forward to collaborating with you all and we are looking for
testers and contributors to make it as awesome as it can be!
Best regards,

DruCall (the WebRTC module for Drupal) is being updated to use
JSCommunicator from http://jscommunicator.org
I've deployed the new DruCall as an alternative to the existing service
for free calls to Lumicall:
http://www.lumicall.org/drucall
(new, based on DruCall/JSCommunicator)
http://webrtc.lumicall.org
(existing service, based on tryit.jssip.net)
If it works in your browser, you should be able to dial any phone that
has Lumicall installed - just dial the number in E.164 format, e.g.
+447771231234 for a UK number.
I'd be interested in any feedback about this. It would also be really
useful to find somebody who is good with CSS who can help make
JSCommunicator look a little bit more pretty.
Thanks again for maintaining this scorecard. I think it is a very
effective approach.
I was wondering -- is it intended that this is actually a list of
organizations who federate using free software? Or would, for example,
an organization hosting its own mail using a proprietary mail server
qualify?
I get the sense that it assumes free software right now, but that isn't
said explicitly on the page. Do you think it could be added?

I've recently launched a free service to make WebRTC calls from a
browser to phones running Lumicall
Just dial a number in the browser and if the phone has Lumicall then it
will ring - nothing to pay. And the software is free too. The blog and
the Lumicall site have had a tenfold increase in traffic since this was
released.
I've explained it in more detail in my blog, any feedback would be very
welcome:

I was at the GSoC mentor summit on the weekend
I put together a session to discuss WebRTC as a collaboration
technology. In that session I ran through the following:
a) the repro SIP proxy as a SIP over WebSocket solution, we used the web
interface to set up a bunch of test accounts for people in the room
b) JsSIP as a solution for people to use on their web sites: the
volunteers used the test SIP accounts to log in with http://tryit.jssip.net
Everything just worked and several pairs of volunteers were able to make
calls between themselves. Thanks to Google for providing virtually
unlimited bandwidth on their campus.
Some other WebRTC solutions were discussed during the session (not all
involve SIP):
https://togetherjs.com/http://peerjs.com/
phono - a client hard-coded to use the Tropo service, appears to offer
SIP calling through Tropo
There was also a session about the general state of free social
networking (not specifically RTC). I emphasized the need for free
software developers to try and integrate RTC with other social
technologies (e.g. a single user ID) to maximise the convenience for
users and increase chances of success.
In both sessions I suggested the Free RTC mailing list as a good meeting
point for people to pursue further interoperability using free software
in these areas:
