Discord is proprietary software, why don't we use something free and
open source?
1. Discord is not used anymore. Where did you find this outdated
information?
https://www.coreboot.org/Coreboot_community_meeting
"If you want to install the discord application, feel free to do that."
2. As there were a lot of problems with the connection quality with
Discord, a different solution was needed. Currently, BlueJeans is used
[1], which is also proprietary, and it works quite well.
There should also be some information in the minutes [2].
I would be more than pleased to set up a SIP server or something to that
effect (I have only 10mbps upload but I know folks who will give me a
VPS if I want one).
There are plenty of FOSS softphones for every OS and you can also use a
desktop VoIP phone so it would be more convenient.
The main requirement is, that it is usable from within a browser, and
all major operating systems and browsers are supported, for example
with WebRTC, so that people aren’t forced to install anything.
BlueJeans also allows to phone in from outside.
I always disable WebRTC to avoid security issues.
If you have a free solution, that works and let’s the community meeting
to work without any issues, *and* you can set it up, I guess we will
find some volunteers to test it out. If that works, a switch can be
discussed.
I will investigate this further, there are a few foss browser softphones
so I will test them and get back to everyone.
Thanks,
Paul
