Portrait: GNOME Foundation's Dave Neary (Linux.com)
Joe 'Zonker' Brockmeier takes a
look at Dave Neary. "Neary says his introduction to free
software came later, while he was working on a postgraduate research
project at Dublin City University in Dublin, Ireland. "The project I was
working on wouldn't compile or run properly under Windows (something about
the paging in the memory model) so I was doing must of my work remotely
through xterms on the department's Sun workstations. Emmet Caulfield
convinced me that I'd be better off with my own personal Linux workstation,
so I finally gave in and bought Linux for Dummies, which included an
install CD for Red Hat 5.0.... A month later, I was up and running with my
new shiny FVWM 95 desktop.""

I always thought that we needed a P2P voice/video communication over the internet. It doesn't make sense to have to go through a third party for this service as it's not generally needed.
The only exceptions are we need a way to find the people we want to talk to due to the suckitude that IPv4 limitations have placed on addresses, that and sometimes having a way to subscribe is handy for voice messages, connection to POTS, and other tediums that most people don't want to deal with.
