Hi everyone,
It has been a reasonably long time since my last post, but there are a lot of things going on.
Beside of a Windows only game I am working for, LibreOffice Server Install GUI got continuous improvements. Currently the source of LibreOffice Server Install GUI is hosted at both, GitHub and LibreOffice repositories. It is planned not to host the binaries at the freehoster they are hosted currently in the near future. I really hope, that there are no access problems then.
BTW: During the next few months I am going to publish a so called “Fachbereichsarbeit” (pre-scientific paper) about OpenSource. I hope you like this paper, although it is written in German…
Something different now:
Does anyone of you know a service for a telephone conference for free and as open as possible? I only know the following ones:
- Google Hangouts
- Skype
- Teamspeak
- Jitsi
- http://conversat.io/ + https://next.andbang.com/ later on??
- Mumble
- …
There is something called webRTC. Works by using stable versions of Google chromium version 25. If web conferencing for more than 2 people works I don’t know. https://apprtc.appspot.com/ is the place where one can tryout the webRTC tech, it begins by showing the video taken by the webcam filling the whole window. Besides that Firefox should be capable but not stable versions. It is either Firefox Aurora or Firefox Nightly, I think it is FF Aurora versions 21.x.

jitsi with jabber /GoogleTalk etc.
try jitsi.org (free software in java, SIP/Jingle, recording option and audio conference calls)
Jitsi has been making the rounds lately. You need to get an SIP or XMPP though. https://jitsi.org/
IMHO mumble/murmur is still the obvious choice.
Mumble seems to be very promising, although a server is needed. This shouldn’t be a that big deal…
Years ago, the alternative to Skype was openwengo. The original project has been abandoned since with the development of the software transferred here
