Mostly I'm interested in the sw that does the voip conferencing, that mixes the audio stream. also control for the conference room - is there, or can there be made available, easily, some control panel for a voip conference, that shows status info about the conference members, the rate quality of their connections, etc - something to help manage a conference to any useful extent, perhaps debug connections, - like volume levels, etc Like, we did some conferences using it, sometimes some people seemed too loud, or maybe had background noise, (music, keyboard clicks), it would be nice to have tools for the meeting manager to identify problems (ex- which line has the music playing, so we could turn down the volume on that channel, cause they went away from their computer forgot to turn their mic off, etc) 6) what is its network connectivity? I do not know how much exactly. Anyone? Can we get info from Jan AKA TheBonsai? Multiple peering? Data rate? Mere internet, or voice carrier connections? 6b) what is the maximum conference participants it can handle I've no clue. I personally tested up to something like 10.

In the future probably, we had tested in the past an asterisk app supporting video but we did not deploy it. 7) What issues should one be aware of in attempting to create a global conference? Ex: USA India? It is numeric communication. Thus geographical mesures need to be reconsidered. It mostly depends on the underlying net infrastructure.

Hi Chaitanya! :) I am actually right now, just as I received this from you, in the middle of _re-writing_ my reply to your _last_ email. 8-0 I wrote you a great reply, then apparently with all the things I have to do I must have forgotten to send it, that reply is now gone forever. :( I am so sad. :( Anyway, I'm so slow at writing emails, but my _re-written_ reply is half finished, so I'm going to try to finish that first, so I'll be back up to zero level, then work forward from there. :) The reason I'd noticed my _last_ email to you had disappeared is because I was about to write you a _new_ email asking how you are progressing, and to see if maybe we can try a test VOIP conference sometime early this week, so we can work out any bugs that might exist in having you connect to our ekiga.net VOIP conference server channel from India, before the Feb 7 meeting. So, thank you to you for this email from you, for keeping on top of things, :) As you saw in my reply to Boris below, we've successfully had people connect to our VOIP conference from the East, North, West continental USA, plus Hawaii, out in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.

[Ekiga-list] Someone please get E3 into highly used distros, especially KUbutu 8.4, thanks :) was-Re: Distributions available
1) Wow, Eugen.Dedu - that's a great tool/list! 2) Alan - I agree with you 100%. E3 is simply unuseful to the _users_ if it isn't available to them. I'd think the project would be much better off the project's leaders ensured that an E3 version was promptly made available to be installed, made use of, by _users_. E3 isn't filling it's potential if it isn't being _used_! :) Personally, being a long time KDE user, ( 10 year linux user, maybe 4-5 yr Ubuntu user), I use KUbuntu 8.4, cause I want a non-KDE-beta-sw system (hence no KU 8.10 for me) that's what I recommend to other users. I suspect there are many others using KU 8.4, not 8.10, and until such time as KDE 4 stabilizes, that is likely to continue. Since that platform is likely a large quantity of users, I think it is obvious that the Ekiga project would be well served by Ek persons who know something about compiling, library dependencies, Distro management, backports, putting out the effort to do whatever it takes to get whatever it takes to make E3 easily (ie apt) installable on KU 8.4, at the minimum (along with other popular distros). That is a hearty _suggestion_ :) not a denigration of Ek's leaders - I'm presuming most here are volunteers, I only suggest, not tell, volunteers how to spend their time. :) [ thanks for all the sw :)] [If someone can get NetBSD, Solaris MSWindows versions available, can't _someone!!_ quickly get an Ubuntu backport available?!] This guy has a solution for 8.10: [see end of this email for basics] How install Ekiga 3.0.1 on Ubuntu 8.10? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?s=3e827289947200322293759188346591t=1016174 So, I'd have to make time to 1) post to that thread asking howto for KU 8.4 hope someone figures it out responds, or 2) start another thread with that title, hope someone figures it out responds, or 3) investigate how to find then find then communicate to the Ub backports team to request it be made available in KU 8.4, etc etc etc. Point: I'd have a much bigger learning curve than E's developers, it'd take a lot of time, be much slower, I suspect, than if the E project leaders, who are sw _developers_, did the (I suspect) _minor_ learning curve necessary to get the distro packagers/backporters to get E3 into the most highly _used_ distros, ie to the largest groups of _users_, so the latest E sw could begin doing the world some more _good/use_. :) On Mon, 26 Jan 2009 07:26:55 -0600, Alan Sill alan.s...@ttu.edu said: These are almost all unstable branch distributions, which are unusable for those whose environments are based on stable branch distributions intended for long-term use.

To: Leaders Developers of Ekiga: I am confused by what appears to me to be inconsistent information on the ekiga website. 1) The Ekiga website main page announces E 3 in the high profile manner of a new gamma, End User version, release. This suggests the SW is not alpha, nor beta, but something for _users_ (not developers or testers). 2) The download page, though, only provides source code compile instructions, not a binary version for the most popular Linux platforms. This suggests the SW is for at best _developers or testers_, not end users. == IMO, That is a majorly inconsistent message to the Ekiga _user_ community. == So, what level do the Ekiga project leader(s) consider the E 3 SW to be at: Alpha, beta, or end user released? Since you don't have a compiled versions available now, I suspect that you believe the SW is not yet ready for release to the general (non compile from sources) public. Is that correct? == If not end user released, I'd suggest that proper SW management communication dictates that the main ekiga page prominently state in the version 3 announcement that this SW is still in alpha or beta stage. == Thanks to all the developers. :) ___ ekiga-list mailing list ekiga-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/ekiga-list
[Ekiga-list] Ekiga Speaker wanted Jan 7 BerkeleyTIP via VOIP meeting- HowTo Compile E3 for KUbuntu 8.04
Hi Ekiga project Leaders, Developers, community. :) I am looking for someone to give a talk about: HowTo Compile Ekiga 3 for KUbuntu 8.04 (plus GNU(Linux) in general) Might _you_ be interested in giving such a talk? Do you know someone who might be? (If so, please pass this message on to them.) == DETAILS The talk will be to the attendees of the BerkeleyTIP global monthly meeting, on February 7, 2009, Saturday, preferably at 12N California, USA Pacific time, -8h GMT, (IIRC), [= 3P EasternUS = 8PM GMT], using the BTIP VOIP meeting system. The speaker may give this talk from anywhere in the world, using their VOIP technology. == BerkeleyTIP BACKGROUND BerkeleyTIP is a monthly global meeting about GNU(Linux), BSD all Freedom SW HW. People can join the meeting using the VOIP conference. We mostly use Ekiga SW the Ekiga.net VOIP meeting service. I started this meeting in June 2008, have been gradually building it up via announcements to LUGs SW group email lists. My current announcements mostly go to the USA LUGs, plus Debian CLUG in South Africa. Over the next several months I hope to get announcements to European LUGS. I'd expect perhaps 5-10 attendees at the main Berkeley location, plus 1-10 remote attendees via VOIP. Everyone, everywhere in the world, is welcome to attend. The meeting is Free, no charge. == REASON FOR INTEREST IN THIS TALK We have been mostly using Ekiga 2 SW. I see version 3 is out, would like to get the BTIP community enabled to use version 3, if it has important new features. (One important feature we'll look into trying in the next several months is video/webcam communication ability.) == REASON FOR FOCUS ON KUBUNTU 8.4 Since I'm using KUbuntu 8.4, that's the distro I recommend to people, I'd like to hear a talk focusing primarily on compiling getting E 3 to work on that platform. But, some info about other distros would be useful, too. == LENGTH OF TALK SEGMENTS - APPROXIMATE I envision a perfect talk including approximately: 10 min background on Ekiga, history present future, 10 min HowTo compile in general, 10 min specifics on compiling for KUbuntu 8.4 10 min audience compile QA, 10 min general QA discussion. == What questions do you have?

[Ekiga-list] R2D2 VOIP Kubuntu 8.4 Ekiga, Ekiga.net voice conference
I'm having a problem getting a good clear output sidnal from Ekiga to a VOIP conference call using the Ekiga.net free conference call system. I'm told that each time I speak, my voice is clear intelligible for about .5 - 2 seconds, but then it starts to be garbled, sounding like the sounds R2D2 makes. I've used 2 or three mic/headsets - two plug into my audio I/O sockets on my laptop, one is a USB headset (but I'm not sure I tested the usb headset properly, though a friend with the exact same usb headset, also on KUbuntu 8.4, like myself, doesn't have the problem.) My voice came through clearly in 1 on 1 conversations to a specific person. I'm told the problem lessens when I turn down the volume of my microphone gain, but I can't recall if that always worked, or just sometimes. One key observation: It worked fine when I was alone, but all the times I've had problems there have been others at the same table as myself who were listening to the conference on laptop speakers - I suspect the problem might be feedback from their speakers to my microphone - if so, perhaps I can solve this by ensuring noone else nearby is in the conference outputting through laptop speakers. -- So, I just want to know if what I've described is a known issue, or if this R2D2 sounding problem has never been noticed before. /or if there is a know solution to this type of problem.
