I see some projects have started putting up public SIP conference
rooms in combination with their mailing lists and irc channels. One is
the freeswitch[0] project.
The GNU Audio Community should be pioneering in this effort, in my
opinion;).
The topic would be the same as LAU; discuss music production, problems
and software and whatever really;).
There are some public SIP servers[1] that allows dynamic creation of
conference rooms. The way it works is that you can call any number
beginning with a certain prefix and you'll enter a conference room. If
anybody else calls this number, they will of course join the
conference.
If anybody would like to try and see if they meet someone, you can
call:
sip:1-222-GNU-AUDIO@email-addr-hidden
Substitute the GNU-AUDIO with the corresponding letters. The complete
SIP URI will then be:
sip:1-222-468-28346@email-addr-hidden
Maybe in the future we can host our own server if this works out. Some
other projects got a bot in irc which notifies of JOIN AND QUIT in the
conference room.
To get a SIP soft phone, you can check out the various free software
projects at voip-info[2], specifically the SIP soft phone clients
page[3]. Be aware that not all projects on that page is free
software. If you need a terminal client, check out asterisk[4]. You
can also run your sip phone through JACK;). A GUI client might be
ekiga[5].
