Hi Everyone,
For those that weren't already aware, we have a new voice
conferencing system. This system allows us to create dedicated
conference bridges for project calls rather than time-sharing the
same bridge as we had to do in the past. It also allows calls via.
Voice over IP (VoIP) protocols like SIP so you can call in "for
free" using your internet connection.
1) Project leads, if you do not already have a bridge, and you need
one for regular calls, please raise a ticket to Eclipse Foundation
=> Community => Servers. e.g. "Need Asterisk bridge for
project XYZ"
2) There are toll-free call in numbers for the system in the
following areas: North America, Germany, UK, and France. There's an
Ottawa number as well. We recommend using SIP to connect, and
especially for areas where we don't have a toll-free or local
dial-in number.
3) PLEASE NOTE: For those that have been using the system for the
past couple of months, we recently changed suppliers for our Ottawa
& Toll Free North American number. The European numbers were not
affected. All project leads with a bridge were notified of the
change a few weeks back. Just in case you call the system and it
doesn't work... check with your project lead to make sure you have
the right numbers.
For more information, see our Asterisk wiki page.
Cheers,
Andrew
