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. Gaim support for SIP as well by morgan_greywolf · · Score: 4, Informative

    Gaim 2.0 (currently in beta) actually has support for SIP/SIMPLE thanks to the Google Summer of Code.

    So we've actually had VoIP capabilities in open source projects since last summer.

    Does OpenZoep run on Zope? Who comes up with these names? I swear, these names sound like they come from a Dr. Seuss book. "If you hope to wash soup off a rope, simply scrub it with SKROPE! Skrope is so strong that no rope is too long!"

  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.

  4. Re:The Killer App by FireFury03 · · Score: 4, Informative

    So... you want to be able to have a single number ring through to 10 alternate numbers at the same time? That makes no sense!

    No, actually it makes perfect sense. This is implemented in all traditional PABXes - e.g. someone phones your business and it rings several phones. Whichever is picked up first gets the call. Or another popular implementation of the same idea is hunt groups - i.e. a call comes in and it rings for a short time on one phone, if it isn't answered it rings another phone instead.

  5. Announcing: Ploen by jdfox · · Score: 4, Funny
    Ploen is an out-of-the-box ready VoIP system that is built on the powerful and free Zoep client-side VoIP engine. It requires minimal effort to set up, is deeply flexible, and provides you with a system for managing VoIP that is ideal for project groups, communities and intranets.

    And it goes 0 - 60 mph in 5 seconds, as you can see from the Ploen site.
