A few members have been interested in doing something with VOIP/SIP things, mostly involving connecting the [[Phone|space phone line]] to the internet and doing voice menus, sip accounts for members, group chat, joining the [http://hackerspaces.org/wiki/Call-in Hackerspaces Call in], getting linked up to eventphone so we have a permanent extension and so on. | A few members have been interested in doing something with VOIP/SIP things, mostly involving connecting the [[Phone|space phone line]] to the internet and doing voice menus, sip accounts for members, group chat, joining the [http://hackerspaces.org/wiki/Call-in Hackerspaces Call in], getting linked up to eventphone so we have a permanent extension and so on. | ||

Will look for alternatives nearby. ciborg_ is looking into getting some Cisco 79X0 phones donated - these are much nicer phones to use but require tftp provisioning (not a big deal) | ||

* <strike>Dialing of Emergency 999 / 112 functionality <span style="color: red;"> Decided to not be a liability with this (for now) </span> *** (outgoing call can be recorded and email alert sent to trustees and/or mailing list for safety) </strike> | |||

''If people are annoyed at the phones nearby - they can press the "Do Not Disturb" button and it won't ring. In this design - I am mindful to keep a productive peace - I helped implement the phone system at a large cartoon company and was mindful to the variety of edge cases and balancing of sensitive users | ''If people are annoyed at the phones nearby - they can press the "Do Not Disturb" button and it won't ring.

If it is completely crap and everyone hates it, we can scrap it easily and say 'man, corded phones are so 90's! Good riddance!' - but there are still many valid uses and an example of fun infrastructure enhancement. Noone is obligated to answer the phone. Noone has to touch it. It's a co-operative, not some sort of business that has a telephone response service level agreement. ;-)'' | ''If it is completely crap and everyone hates it, we can scrap it easily and say 'man, corded phones are so 90's!
