I have noticed many of our sister free software projects have recently incorporated features commonly associated with Bayonne. Asterisk 1.4, for example, introduces a native scripting language. The excellent community fork of Asterisk, OpenPBX, had planned to use embedded io for this purpose.

All free nations in the world today recognize certain basic principles, such as freedom of speech, freedom of thought, and the freedom of privacy. These values that we all share were articulated by and fought for by people such as Voltaire, Jefferson, and Bolivar. This common heritage of freedom is today under attack by those who wish to turn the clock back on human progress.

I had an interesting conversation with Daniel Olivera from Ututo last week, although he perhaps didn’t perceive it as that. Mostly it involved trying to get some video feeds working from here and Italy on the radio ututo server in Argentina. But from that process I have come to think about how worthwhile it would be to have fully open and anonymous telephone servers.
