You call packages builded by Jitsi folks "random untrusted packages which might work or screw up their system or create security issues". That was a "little" too much, even from you, lee. If by chance you did not understand what you wrote, better not to comment.

It has a lot of bundled dependencies, atleast one of which had licensing issues (json license) for a long time. However it appears that there are workarounds now and it could be introduced in Fedora if anyone volunteers to do so.

Oh that would be nice :) If it's actually a working alternative to skype, it would really fill a gap. None of the sip clients I tried over the years really worked, not even to mention anything involving a webcam.

Use those two terms in the search, Ranjan! :) But the real question is, do you expect that this additional service is free of charge. I hope you understand the essence of proprietary software.

A bit of googling reveals that Skype users (at least, Skype for Business users, and not for free) can configure SIP gateways. However, I think the answer to your question is 'no'.

:) OK, you can find it yourself, but point is if there is an interconnection service(SIP) in addition to the existing one, considering the company offers it, it simply can not be expected for free, inter alia. But why should we care for it, in the first place. The real problems are never of a technical nature. It can be argued that the real problem is actually an opportunistic minded users. :) But this is slightly heavier philosophical debate and is not suitable for hot summer days. Haha

I have install Jitsi on my Fedora 20 + Gnome 3 from repo, but when I run it, if I click to [x] it's disappeared, and happened into windows list (or in overview mode) a task with name [JavaEmbeddedFrame], but if I click on it nothing happens.
To resolve I must to "pkill -9 java" and re run jitsi.
How to recall jitsi when is reduced to icon on tray?
Thanks

For those who do not wait: https://jitsi.org/
I have install Jitsi on my Fedora 20 + Gnome 3 from repo, but when I run it, if I click to [x] it's disappeared, and happened into windows list (or in overview mode) a task with name [JavaEmbeddedFrame], but if I click on it nothing happens.
To resolve I must to "pkill -9 java" and re run jitsi.
How to recall jitsi when is reduced to icon on tray?
Thanks
Clicking on [x] does not terminate the program but simply "hides" the GUI, by design.
To show the GUI window, look for the Jitsi icon in the system tray, right click, and select 'Show'.
To terminate the program, look for the Jitsi icon in the system tray, right click, and select 'Quit'.
The behaviour is similar to Pidgin.

Jitsi has got a users mailing list. I suggest you guys take your support questions there.
The developers are friendly.

"GTKLookAndFeel" is not related to your/g3 problem with the systray icon. It is a supplement for those who see the application window. :)
Here's a couple of references:
- System tray icon broken in gnome3 http://lists.jitsi.org/pipermail/users/2014-January/006289.html
- Java app system tray icons broken in GNOME Shell https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1014448
- Systray Control Module https://jitsi.org/Development/SystrayControlModule
- Linux systray code outdated https://trac.jitsi.org/ticket/1224
However, Jitsi's systray icon works OK in Xfce's Notification Area http://docs.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-panel/systray
- A new systray lib for Jitsi on Linux https://jitsi.org/GSOC/LinuxSystray
Perhaps you too can participate in GSOC '14. to resolve SCM.

Tested Jitsi on F18 & F19 and it works. Did not test Jitsi on F20+
FC20: no tray icon under Cinnamon, however I can connect to company's jabber. Unfortunately I cannot test SIP because our system using IAX protocol which is not supported rigth now :(

How do you do this without pulseaudio? To me, pulseaudio is crap... I have two souncards, one for skype and another for listening something else, is needed.. ALSA is enough, so how we make skype working without pulsecrap?
Tried this 4.3 for fedora 15 from skype site, it starts ok, but needs pulsecrap.
Somebody convince me, where and why I need pulse?

You can't. ALSA support has been dropped in the latest Skype release. PulseAudio is a core requirement now.

Well, the older versions will stop working at some point and you won't get any support for it. So unless you want to stop using Skype completely, you don't really have a choice.

I completely missed the PulseAudio hate bus but it is quite interesting how it still smells fresh after 10 years.

Well, I would like to see a fully open source and secure SIP app like skype.
Wow, JD. A simple google search would have revealed a lot on that front.
Some FOSS SIP servers: Asterisk, FreeSWITCH, Mysipsqitch, OpenSER, sipX
Some FOSS SIP clients: Ekiga, Linphone, Twinkle, Empathy, Blink, Jitsi, Kphone, PhoneGaim
AFAIK, none of the clients are compatible with the proprietary and closed Skype system. There is a Pidgin plugin you can use with Skype's IM mechanism should you want to use it (I do). Several of them can use an encryption mechanism. Skype is no more secure than any Internet- based app and, in fact, may be less so since it is proprietary and all communications goes through Microsoft's servers (and God only knows what they do with the info).
I've used both Ekiga and Empathy quite a bit with an Asterisk SIP server and they work quite well. I did use Twinkle, too, but that was long ago.

How was the audio quality? What about calls with video?
Most of my contacts are on skype, and I just do not see people switching to any of the servers you mention - ostensibly, because such servers and clients are not so well known., especially since most open source servers/clients are for the *nixes and *nuxes. Most people on windows would not switch to open systems like Linux - primarily because they are not so technically inclined, or do not wish to learn to navigate and maintain a different kind of system. People seem inclined towards what is familiar :)
Re: encryption - yes I agree. I would like to see 4kbit or higher keys/passwords used.

The audio is comparable (depends on the codecs you use).
What about calls with video?
It depends on the SIP server (and client) as to whether video works or not. The only time I really used it was with Ekiga and the video was fine.
Most of my contacts are on skype, and I just do not see people switching to any of the servers you mention - ostensibly, because such servers and clients are not so well known., especially since most open source servers/clients are for the *nixes and *nuxes.

The heavy lifting in Skype is done by Microsoft. They maintain the servers and such so, yeah, the administration is off your shoulders. They also have a model that permits you to use skype to call conventional land-lines. You can do that with SIP as well, but you have to come up with a way to pay for those land-line connections (unless you choose to be charitable and give access for free...not necessarily a good idea).
I've deployed a number of SIP platforms. Once they're set up, they work a treat and I've had very little to have to do to manage them other than the occasional user addition, mailbox change, voice prompt change, etc. It's very similar to an old-style PBX system as far as management is concerned, but generally a lot more flexible than a PBX.
