Re: [Ekiga-list] About Ekiga.net

Hello.

Due to the format of the message that was posted, I can not see the text 
of the message to which I am replying.

I signed up for Ekiga, in, I believe, 2008.

I have installed, on this computer, Ekiga v 3.2.7, on Debian 6 LTS 
Linux. I assume that version of Ekiga, to be the latest version of 
ekiga, that is available for Debian 6 LTS (which (Debian 6 LTS) has a 
"supported" lifetime, for about another year)

I do not know what is the latest "stable" version of Ekiga.

The version of Ekiga that I have installed, shows the web site for 
Ekiga, to be http://www.ekiga.org/ , which returns, in rekonq,

"
Unknown error

When connecting to: http://www.ekiga.org
"

so I can not find what is the latest "stable" version of Ekiga, as
according to the ekiga project web site.

In 2013, was, I believe, the last time that I had tried to get Ekiga 
working on this computer.

The version of Ekiga that is installed on this (Debian 6 LTS) computer, 
appears unchanged from when I used it, and, posted messages to this 
list, about it, in 2013.

I had tried Ekiga and Linphone, and could not get either working - I 
believe that the mailing list archives, should show the results. I 
correct that - in having looked through some of my messages posted to 
this list, in 2013, I had got the voice component working, for calls, 
but, not the video component, so, I had not been able to get ekiga 
working for videocalling.

I had been able to get skype working, but microsoft took over skype, 
and, sabotaged it, I believe, last year.

The only videocalling software that I had been able to get working, on 
Linux, was skype v 2.2 beta (the full version umber, is in the list 
archives, in messages that I posted about it, in 2013) which worked well 
enough, and, was relatively good, until microsoft sabotaged it.

Without knowing where ekiga is located (in which country/region), I do 
not know whether applicable laws, would allow for the reverse 
engineering of skype 2.2 beta, so as to get that operational again, or, 
whether the ekiga project people, would be inclined to do that, even if 
it was legal.

But, at present, I do not have access to any operational videocalling 
software, that works on Linux.

Hi everyone,


Ekiga.net has been running since 2006 when there were no free SIP providers. Maintaining the platform is much work for our small team. Some features have been missing for years without anyone having the time to implement them.

Should we keep the platform or try to find a partnership with someone to move it to another platform?

Who is using Ekiga.net? 

Through the years there have been nearly 1 million subscribers.

Ah well, if each of them had donated 1 €
