I am not sure about the audience though. It will be hard to boot-strap ("start up from scratch") this kind of event. I would like to make a workshop for an audience concisting of politicians etc. But I guess this will hard to attract the attention of these people so perhaps the best thing will be to gain more focus among our alikes :)
Yes, my reasoning is something like this; if such an event would make us able to find, say, 4 people, who would be willing to do some amount of work for us (which is not unthinkable, since we already are thinking about some of them), that would increase our work capacity by almost 100%.
Having a workshop for politicians is a good idea generally, but none of them would be very interested in working for us. Or at least not in the capacity that we want them to :-)
What I try to do (or rather tried since I am far to busy at the moment writing drivers for some nast machine) is (re)establish contacts with the IT stratety groups within the government. I will try to get in touch with Patrik Fältström (Cisco and IT strategy Group).
This might be useful, but wasn't a lot of their work completed now that the IT proposition has been tabled? They will probably have a lot of work even after this, I'm sure, but it would be good to find out exactly what they're working with and when.
Perhaps the best thing to do is to talk about this over phone.... which brings p the question about a nice program for phone over Ip. Is there any such? .... with a nice license ;)
Yes, there are several actually. For softphones, most seem to prefer LinPhone. As for real VoIP phones, I'm now using one called AT-320 which is based around the PA168 chipset. There are several other (cheap) phones based on the same chipset, and the nice thing about it is that Aredfox, that develops the chipset, have recently begun releasing their firmware with a BSD license.
