Free software project provides secure alternative to Skype

[Sam Tuke]

Jitsu is a multi-platform Free Software client with tight XMPP + Jingle
support which, according to this article, works well as a secure Skype
replacement. It also supports secure video calls, and SIP conference calling
(see http://jitsi.org/index.php/GSOC2011/ConfCallChatting).

I'd like to try this out myself some time soon. Perhaps we could use the conf
call aspect for larger scale participation in FSFE meetings etc.?

Sounds interesting. Thanks for sharing.

It seems that there is even a company [1] behind jijtsi that at least employs
the project lead.

Sounds promising, is this in any distro yet?
