[Libreoffice-qa] [LibreOffice-QA] Minutes - March 22nd, 2013

[Jonathan Aquilina]

I have done a bit of research, and it seems that Asterisk is the only option
we have. Mumble doesn't have a dial in feature.

Question becomes if we go with asterisk what options do we want and need if
we decide to go with a custom designed piece of software or use the
readymade all in one setup that is offered?

yep, just make some noise in #libreoffice-qa and there will probably be a
few of us around to test things out.

What do people think about changing "skype ability" to "ability to connect
from a computer." Given that Skype isn't FLOSS, I think it's reasonable for
us to consider dumping it in exchange for something else (mumble, WebRTC,
etc..) that has free software clients available.

> b) recording ability

Do we use this ability? If we're looking to create a project-wide
replacement for Talkyoo, then sure, the BoD might require recording to be
available, but AFAIK we've never used this for QA. I'd be happy to have us
start using this capability, especially as I may have inadvertently
nominated myself to be the secretary for future meetings
:-)

> c) ability to call from a telephone without being charged

Yep, voice calls are still very useful -- and available in all kinds of
places without Internet access.
