Tonight at 8 we'll be having our weekly time set aside to help out FOSS. I hope to see you there!<br><br>Since SIP/Ekiga conferencing seems to stink for multiple people, we're going to try something new tonight. It's a voice chat program called <a href="http://mumble.sourceforge.net/"><i>Mumble</i></a> and it's similar to Ventrilo and TeamSpeak. <br>
<br>Mumble <b>1.1.8</b> is in the Ubuntu and Fedora repositories as 'mumble'. Not sure about others. Clients are also available for Windows and Mac OS at the <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/mumble/files/">sourceforge download page</a>. Just make sure you grab 1.1.8 and not the 1.2 beta as they are not compatible with each other. After it's installed, there is a nice setup wizard for audio. You should probably enable 'echo cancellation' and bind a key for push-to-talk (like super/windows). When you connect to the server using the information below, you'll get a warning that the SSL certificate is self-signed. This is normal, and you can go ahead and click OK. <br>
