Zoep Goes Open Source

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the no-zoup-for-you dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Voipster has released their Zoep client-side VoIP engine as an open source project licensed under the GPL (now called OpenZoep) along with an OpenZoep Firefox extension. If you've been thinking about incorporating a VoIP soft phone client into your project, this article details the API and discusses how to work with the OpenZoep client."

  1. Re:Gaim support for SIP as well by MrNaz · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Yes, but Gaim2 is utter tripe. It offers nothing over version 1.5 (except a veritable bucketload of new bugs), has a really ugly and non-intuitive interface and I have a pet hate in it's file browse dialog box.

    There is no real good quality end to end VOIP solution in open source yet, which is surprising given that open source communities have done some really good work in audio and video compression (Vorbis, XviD) technologies as well as distributed networking (BitTorrent).

    These technologies could be used, albeit with some adaptation, to form a completely open source VOIP/Video system that displaces traditional PSTN carriers as data networks become more and more robust and the SLAs on internet service providers approach those of PSTN operators.

    This is it. This is the big one.

    An open source VOIP app that just plugs into your browser. Now, the only question is, does it support SMTP style aliases?

  3. Link to Firefox extension by Pneuma+ROCKS · · Score: 4, Interesting

    The Zoep Firefox extension can be downloaded from here: http://www.glaxstar.com/zoep/. I sometimes have connection problems, but in general it has worked quite well.
