Hi Alexander,
there's no need for anyone to apologize for anything, at least not from
my point of view. Some people have made various suggestions, others
have sent their views, no rough languange was used - in other words an
entirely civilized discussion.

Regarding my Skype note - for me it's similar

would love to use an open-source app.
I don't want you to stop using it or stop mentioning to use it. I just
wanted to state that in the context of an Osmcoom event, I would
definitely not want to use it.
As a more practical note: I'm quite sure that the various SIP and H.323
compatible soft-phones as well as hardware/emedded devices are a really
good and functional alternative to Skype. I think they are much closer
on a functional level to their proprietary alternative than let's say
KiCAD or gEDA are to Altium Designer.
When I looked at them some 5 years ago as a VoIP developer, all
open-source VoIP tools were in very bad state. Even our one was barely
usable in non-ideal situations. May be things got better since that
time. I have to review available options again when I get some free
time.
