The telepathy stack uses SIP for VOIP anyway. Even though SIP is a
peer-to-peer technology, you need a PBX such as Asterisk in the middle
if you're going to do conferencing.

Daf, one of the Collabora devs, told me last week that they're working
on P2P SIP conferencing. Probably an implementation of Jingle?

  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jingle_%28protocol%29

Multi-user chat without any infrastructure would be amazing, but I doubt
it can be made scale beyond a small number of nodes. And I doubt we can
find mature clients at this time.

For now, I'd suggest setting up a "traditional" Asterisk PBX and switch
to XMPP/Jingle when things mature a little. Daf of course might come up
with a better idea.

BTW: did you know that every Sunjammer account also includes a Jabber
account too? the JID is usern...@sugarlabs.org and the password is the
same of the LDAP password. SSL/TLS is mandatory.

Surely it would make more sense to take it down a level and use
telepathy as the comms insftracture and from there use SIP where
needed, but also chat, MUC, dbus-dbus tubes, video and audio group
streaming and everything else xmpp is so good at. A communications box
if you will, with it being kinda like the master with the jabber
server installed on it? food for thought?

Potentially, this could be particularly interesting for press briefings.

Effective PR involves inviting a small group of journalists to
briefings, usually just prior to launches, or to put out PR fires.

When the group is small, listen/talk can be open to everyone. For
larger groups, it's listen-only and a moderator handles a question
queue, opening talk to key questioners in turn.

There are of course lots of commercial services for this type of
thing, but it would be great if we had that available to us.

Primarily conferencing. In the future, we might want to use it for
end-user technical support and things like that.
