Version 2.0 Released For Open Skype Alternative Jitsi

Posted by Unknown on Wednesday March 6, 2013 @04:30AM from the chat-without-patents dept.

New submitter emilcho writes with news for anyone looking for a Free alternative to Skype "Among the most prominent new features people will find quality multi-party video conferences for XMPP, audio device hot-plugging, support for Outlook presence and calls, an overhauled user interface and support for the Opus and VP8 audio/video codec. Jitsi has lately shaped into one of the more viable open Skype Alternatives with features such as end-to-end ZRTP encryption for audio and video calls. The 2.0 version has been in the works for almost a year now, so this is an important step for the project." There are prebuilt packages for Debian, Ubuntu, Arch, Fedora, Windows, and OS X.

And yet again someone quotes XKCD without having a clue what they're talking about.

Still waiting on Serviscope_minor to wake up to fucking reality and realize that Jessica Price isn't going to fuck him.

If only I could delete my post...
I got Jitsi confused with something else entirely. I'll just shut up now and sit in a corner.
