If not, will you please tell me: 1) Who owns it? Damien Sandras. Ever is some people do have account and administer the server, I guess it is mainly under Damien's responsibility. Damien? I don't really own it. It is kindly hosted by easyneuf : http://easyneuf.fr 2) who manages it? Damien Sandras, Jan AKA TheBonsai Mainly Jan nowadays. 3) where is the hw? In France... My own country. Hosting: http://www.easyneuf.fr/ 4) what general special purpose hw does it use? Nothing fancy, just regular hw for a server. I'm not sure to truly understand your point here... Point: Is there any VOIP specific hardware? Maybe some telecom carrier grade voice IO capability stuff? Low latency throughput, etc? Maybe some Digium stuff?? 5) what sw does it run? The nice part: Running on GNU/Linux Kamailio http://www.kamailio.org/ Asterisk http://www.asterisk.org/ + LAMP service - dedicated user interface in PHP under GPL http://webxser.tuxfamily.org/ I'm currently working on a new user interface using Drupal http://drupal.org/ In short: The whole software stack is open source. 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. Jan? 6c) can it now, or will it in the future, handle video conferencing? Jan? Damien? 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. I do not know Ekiga.net's own limits in this regard. Jan? anyone? 7b) to ensure acceptable quality from multi continents, what can be done? Including, network providers with good VOIP quality TOS? Are you considering professional use of the service? No, just for the BerkeleyTIP monthly meeting. http://sites.google.com/site/berkeleytip/ Thanks :) Hope that helps.
