Ekiga

Thank to Eugen Dedu and Yannick Defais, we now have again packages allowing easy testing of our bleeding edge Ekiga. Thank you to Kilian for having maintained them during all those years… Check them out: http://snapshots.ekiga.net. It includes Debian ... [More] Unstable (i386 and amd64) and Ubuntu Hardy and Gutsy (i386 and amd64). Those packages feature the presence indicator, new and advanced video codecs, [...] [Less]

I am thus back from LinuxTag. My talk went great, you can download it by following this link. I think it was successful, there were many people and I could demonstrate the new features of Ekiga 3.00 by calling Jonita through our VPN connection. People could see the presence feature in Ekiga, as well as the video [...]

Many people seem to be going at LinuxTag. I’ll be giving a talk at the event this Saturday. If you want to see more about Ekiga 3.00, feel free to join in Saal Paris. I will present Ekiga in general, SIP, Ekiga 3.00 and what we can expect from the future. I also hope there will be no [...]

Free Software Magazine published a long interview of the main Ekiga developers and contributors. It gives a deeper insight of what Ekiga is, what it will become, how we are working together. I think it is always good to remember that Ekiga is a pure collaborative project, on which people program during their spare time only, [...]

Six months after the 1.4 EFI firmware release which destroyed my Macbook Pro display, Apple finally released a firmware that fixes it. GNU/Linux users can finally enjoy using that machine again.

The Ekiga developers team just took an important decision concerning the future of Ekiga… Let’s hope it will have a good impact on the project! Update: That was of course an April Fool.

After several years spent organizing the event and making it grow to one of the major hackers event in the world, I can only tell that I am satisfied of the accomplished work. FOSDEM is still getting bigger and bigger and the community [...]

Thank you so much for having published broken firmware updated. I had no problems with my Macbook Pro running Linux, until I decided to update to the EFI 1.4 firmware. This firmware was supposed to fix keyboard problems when booting. That problem was not particularly annoying, but I thought that upgrading the EFI firmware would not do [...]

7 years of Ekiga We are at the end of the year again. I have spent the Christmas break coding on Ekiga. I just committed a 10 000 lines patch. Few people know that I started coding on Ekiga (GnomeMeeting) during the Christmas break in 2000. It means that the oldest lines of code are 7 years [...]

Ekiga Life has been hectic lately, however, I progressed well on my work on the Ekiga engine. I finished the design concerning the part of the engine handling calls (other parts like contacts and presentities are already functional mainly thanks to Julien). We now have a nice abstraction layer for OPAL. That new abstraction layer means that [...]
