Ah, if only a version of Ekiga is available, that works with Ubuntu
8.04, that can be installed using the Ubuntu package management
system, ...

I can successfully make test calls, to sip:500@..., using Ekiga
v2.0.12, and I can look at my ugly face, using the Ekiga software in
video mode, but that is about all I can do with it. Ekiga v2.0.12 is the
latest version available via the Ubuntu 8.04 packages repository. I
understand that a later version, something like v3.0, allows the making
and answering, of realtime calls, but that version is not yet available
from the Ubuntu 8.04 packages repository.

I used 804 a long time, then move up to KU 904 - works fine on my laptop & desktop.  If u want to use 804, great - but - tell me why u don't just upgrade to 904? thx.  that should work well.

BTW, join on irc.freenode.net #berkeleytip - that's the fast way to get problems solved & upgrades done, interactively. :)

Ubuntu 8.04 is the latest Long Term Support version, and so is the
version likely to be the most stable, and which is likely to have the
least problems over time, with system upgrades "into the unknown",
which is what happens with the non-LTS versions.

To me, Ubuntu LTS versions, relative to the later versions that are not
LTS, is like the way that the Debian stable versions used to be (but not
the way it is now, where Debian stable, now, apparently, means Debian
testing, especially where a system upgrade is done, like from Debian 4
to Debian 5), relative to Debian testing.

It is about relative stability and support, both of which are more
reliable for the LTS versions of Ubuntu.

perhaps I missed something in the list - were you able to connect to BTIP ?

I think I wrote earlier - Ekiga 2.0.12 is fine, in my opinion, the best
version.

The meetings are always accessible via voip. :)  - I don't know who was on voip this past meeting.  I was too busy doing meeting preparation stuff to get on voip myself, this past sunday.

One should always first join on #berkeleytip on irc.freenode.net.  That's the place to find out the latest details for the meeting, like which voip server we're on, & what channel, etc.

http://sites.google.com/site/berkeleytip/remote-attendance

Drop by the irc channel any day, even non meeting days.  Our next regularly scheduled BTIP meeting is Sat Oct 3, 12Noon - 3P PDST UTC-8 are the scheduled topic hours.

The 12Noon hour is the specifically Ekiga/ & all voip topics discussion hour.  & anyone is free to talk abot these issues at any time, in addition to that specifically topiced hour.

Schedule:
http://sites.google.com/site/berkeleytip/home

Hope you all join in voip on Oct 3. :)

Hello.

I did not take part.

Unfortunately, the timezone here being UTC +8, the time of the meeting,
was 0400 here, as is, apparently, the one being held within the next 24
hours.

At present, I am a bit ill, so I will probably also miss this one.

Maybe, better luck for me, next time.
