Seems all valid requests:

> 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?

> 2) who manages it?

Damien Sandras, Jan AKA TheBonsai

> 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...

> 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.

> 6) what is its network connectivity?

I do not know how much exactly.

> 6b) what is the maximum conference participants it can handle

I've no clue. I personally tested up to something like 10.

> 6c) can it now, or will it in the future, handle video conferencing?

Jan? Damien?

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.

Are you considering professional use of the service?
