Just following up about FOSDEM, as I would be interested in chatting in person with anybody who is particularly keen on the hunt for a Skype alternative.
In particular, we are expecting a really big attendance at the session this Sunday. My web stats have gone through the roof this month, and all of the speakers involved typically attract a huge crowd just appearing on their own. Is there anybody involved with FSFE who may be able to comment on or contribute to the logistics of carrying forward the momentum from Sunday's session?

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
Very good! Please let me know if there is a video made of this talk, I can make a news item out of it on fsfe.org.
Just a reminder - the talk about Debian's role in replacing Skype is at 16:00 this Saturday.
Yes, I'm happy to administer that, and mailman is fine.
I'll get that set up.
Great, the list is now there for people who want to continue pursuing this initiative to the next stage:
There is already a push to repeat the VoIP client testing at FOSDEM in February, I'm currently discussing with the Jabber and telephony devroom co-ordinators.
For those who missed it, Microsoft has announced they are killing off MSN within 6 months and migrating everybody into Skype... one step closer to world domination. Scary stuff. Expect them to take similar steps to make Skype more dominant in the corporate space.
