This would be a GREAT project for us all to work on! Share a How To guide to set up all with a similar set up with a spare monitor, computer, web cam, and mic and speakers with a simple UI so we just click on a hackerspace name in the list and it "rings" up their similar "spacephone" for someone there to answer.<div>
Then we could eventually work in some sort of "open sign" in the space API so it would show on the list if there is anyone at the space in the first place that could answer.</div><div>Some spaces could even elect to keep their spacephone on 24x7 as a live camera, etc.</div>

<div>Hi all,<br>
<br>
<br>
Concerning "communication", I don't know if it has already been
proposed but why not set up a telephony / videophony "private
network" for all hackerspaces worldwide.<br>
<br>
<br>
Wouldn't it be neat to have a phone (or videophone) in a space
from where you can just dial any other hackerspace in the world.
You want to ask something to somebody who is working on a project
you are interested in; just pick up the phone, dial a number and
call him or hem at the space she is working.<br>
<br>
<br>
In theory, the only thing that is needed is one single server
running asterisk, a private numberplan and -in every space- any
SIP VOIP client ranging from a VOIP phone, an ATA with an old
handset, a PC with a SIP video client or an asterisk by themself.<br>
<br>
Using conferences, it can also be used to stream video of events
if needed.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Chéééééééééééério!<br>

<div><span>Well I'm wondering how far we could go concerning the
communication/streaming. At the end of the day many events
are life streamed from hackerspaces and most of the people
are fine with that, recognizing it as an important thing to
do. To be honest I can imagine that the places which have a
bit more space could dedicate some "classroom" for example
for chatting, life streaming, with the indication that this
place is used for that and you should be aware of that. CCC
events work in the way that there are "photo/video"
restricted areas and rest is open. So I can imagine that one
room or corner could be used like that in various
hackerspaces. It depends on the people what they want and
what they are aiming on.</span></div>

independent satellite network is suppose to be in operation
(active for the CCC camp in 2015) and it seems to me that
once this is functioning that should improve the situation.
What do you think?</span></div>

Concerning the streaming between
hackerspaces, I would be careful
there. I'm supporter of
interconnecting hackerspaces and
movement as much as possible, having
for example some cool specifically
looking "dedicated" machine at each
hackerspace for communication of
whatever type (audio, video), would be
great (especially if we consider the
upcoming satellite communication
system which has to be coordinated
somehow from various hackerspaces,
right?). However I have seen some
quite strong opposition of "cameras in
the place" for example at Noisebridge.
And in a way, I see the reason why to
be careful there.</div>
