skype seems to have made the latest 6.x incompatible with 2.8 (which folk who care about screen real estate run) in that video no longer works between them. until widespread availability of webrtc, a bunch of us are using jitsi for video, https://jitsi.org/ o uses open standard protocols o free, open source, apple pie, ... o supports opus codec which has really good performance across a wide range of bandwidth http://www.opus-codec.org/comparison/ o multi-participant video on xmpp-based videobridge, also open source o does xmpp, sip, aim, icq, yahoo, ... i have an ejabberd+videobridge up if folk want test/use accounts. and it's easy to put up your own, of course. and while you are looking at escaping other big company servers, check out http://labs.bittorrent.com/experiments/sync.html, real peer to peer dropbox. randy

And last I tried it, it kept segfaulting on something dumb ;) Nice to see it supports opus though. And I really wish the FOSS software in this space didn't suck so much.

Since you've already done the legwork on that, maybe share some comments so people can see how they could do it in their own env? -J

This looks very useful. Would love to see mobile devices (e.g. Tablets) supporting it. I dislike having to put my stuff on servers just for sharing among my devices. Cheers, Rajiv Sent from my Phone On Apr 26, 2013, at 2:15 AM, "Randy Bush" <randy@psg.com> wrote:
