Just a reminder - the talk about Debian's role in replacing Skype is
at 16:00 this Saturday.

Great, the list is now there for people who want to continue pursuing
this initiative to the next stage:

There is already a push to repeat the VoIP client testing at FOSDEM in
February, I'm currently discussing with the Jabber and telephony
devroom co-ordinators.

For those who missed it, Microsoft has announced they are killing off
MSN within 6 months and migrating everybody into Skype... one step
closer to world domination.  Scary stuff.  Expect them to take similar
steps to make Skype more dominant in the corporate space.
