This is the big red emergency phone to call in for help from other galaxies
Current state
The phone system is currently operational at my place.
Purpose
This phone system directly links with a similar set-up in a foreign hackerspace, allowing people to cooperate on the missions. It is modelled as a big red phone you can use in dire need.
Technical setup
This setup uses the spare line we have, and we have an arduino in the phone to keep it constantly connected. We have had issues with the line timing out after 2-3hours, so essentially we now just disconnect and reconnect the line every so often.
Future plans
Currently only two spaces are connected, in two countries. We are planning to expand this to more in the future, creating a conference-like ability where you can just pick up the phone and speak to anyone in the system.
