15:51.17malaphusAnyone know how I would troubleshoot a yellow exclamation icon in the top right corner of a Digium D80?  Tapping the icon shows the list of statuses (available, away, DND, prefer chat, etc) and picking a status is properly reflected in "digium_phones show status <phone>", so not quite sure what the "warning" icon is for (calls can be received fine)

18:21.07yeehiFree hardware for Asterisk? (Handset/Base station) which brands most support Freedom? Sangoma just bought the Asterisk hardware...
18:24.16[TK]D-FenderDefine "freedom"?
18:24.53yeehiFree Software Foundation Freedom [TK]D-Fender
18:25.56[TK]D-FenderBSD?  GPL?  LGPL?
18:29.42[TK]D-FenderAsterisk (Digium's) handsets were never "free"
18:30.01[TK]D-FenderSangoma buying Digium didn't change that.
18:30.03yeehiAs long as the vendor supports Freedom, an FSF compliant licence is fine.
18:30.56yeehiI think the main thing is FreePBX
18:31.35yeehiso which is usually a good bet? I noticed Siemens Gigaset have "unlocked" phones... whatever that means...
18:31.39[TK]D-FenderDOn't like it?  Feel free to use something else.  Can't find something else, feel free to create your own or fork from something that became more "closed"
18:32.02[TK]D-Fender"whatever that means" sounds like it requires clarification
18:32.04yeehiI am looking for something which supports FreePBX
18:32.38[TK]D-Fenderyou're thinking in reverse
18:32.58[TK]D-FenderFreepbx isn't what phones talk to.
18:33.01[TK]D-FenderRemember where you are
18:33.47yeehiWhich manufacturer would likely support Free software on their products?
18:34.07yeehiI don't even know what PBX is
18:34.34[TK]D-FenderYou're insisting on the properties of a steering wheel without knowing what a CAR is...
18:35.23yeehiI want a wifi handset that can be used as a phone via the internet, and which would have Free software. Any suggestions for hardware needed?
18:35.46[TK]D-FenderNobody makes those
18:36.02[TK]D-Fenderthere isn't a market for anybody to care to produce one.
18:36.43yeehiSo what would be needed?
18:36.52[TK]D-Fenderfor what?
18:37.36yeehiDoes anybody have any suggestions for a solution?
18:37.36[TK]D-Fenderto make one?  Somebody willing to do all of the software and hardware design, set up manufacturing & distribution obviously.
18:37.41[TK]D-Fender^
18:38.03[TK]D-FenderSolution go find someone willing to design, build, and distribute such a thing
18:38.44yeehiDoes anybody other than [TK]D-Fender have any ideas?
18:38.55[TK]D-FenderAnd try to figure out if they are going to make money of the prouct of if they are giving away the fruits of their intellectual efforts and material costs
18:39.12[TK]D-FenderThere isn't any of what you're looking for on the market
18:39.20[TK]D-Fenderbecause there hasn't been a market for one
18:39.37[TK]D-Fenderthere obviously isn't enough money to warrant people doing so.
18:40.19[TK]D-FenderYou should consider accepting the reality that what you're looking for doesn't exist.
18:41.22[TK]D-FenderNow if you want something "vaguely close" do such a dedicated device then go find some OSS Android phone and try to find a soft-phone app written for it.
18:41.29[TK]D-FenderOr port an existing one.
18:41.42[TK]D-Fenderbut that isn't a "dedicated device"
18:47.08igcewielingconsiders reading the backlog
18:47.37igcewielingsmells like troll
18:52.04SamotMust be because it's the dumbest question I've heard in a while.
18:52.14SamotAnd I have regular conversations with [J]oules.
18:52.44SamotThe question is essentially "What hardware supports free software?"
18:52.54*** join/#asterisk yeehi_ (~n@unaffiliated/yeehi)
18:54.52[TK]D-FenderI've heard it before a few times over the years
18:55.35[TK]D-FenderI never took it as "trolling" so much as "idological zealotry beyond all practical reason"
18:55.46[TK]D-FenderIT HAS TO BE PURE!!!!!!!!!
18:56.13[TK]D-FenderOr those who are paranoid about tracking, etc
19:00.21Samot1:35:25 PM <yeehi> I want a wifi handset that can be used as a phone via the internet <-- What other purpose would there be for a wifi phone?
19:01.31[TK]D-FenderIs there one that only works on LANs?
19:01.54[TK]D-Fender#vennfailure
19:02.15Samotyeehi_: If you're looking for a "RasPI" version of wifi phones you're not going to find it. Outside of going to an OEM factory and having them make you one.
19:05.58[TK]D-Fenderhttps://www.google.ca/search?q=OSS+android+SIP+softphone
19:06.11[TK]D-FenderClosest you're going to get without venture capital.
19:10.18SamotI still love that people think "free to use" software doesnt cost money in some form.
19:17.39[TK]D-FenderTo be fair it sounded like he was asking more specifically that the software it runs be OSS.
19:17.57[TK]D-FenderNot sure if it also includes the hardware design being  "free" as well
19:27.51yeehi_Hi, Samot. Let me try to explain again. I have an internet. I want to phone people. I think VOIP can help me do it. I want to start phoning people using the internet connection, using a wirless hansdet. I want to keep FSF Freedoms.
19:27.57yeehi_What hardware is needed?
19:28.22[TK]D-Fenderagain, are you talking about the phone DESIGN beign "free", or just the SOFTWARE on it?
19:29.37SamotAs far as I know all wifi based SIP phones are closed source with the software on them.
19:29.58SamotYou want something that can install a free softphone, you need Android.
19:31.44Samotyeehi_: As I stated, no one makes a blank slate, hardware only wifi phone.
19:38.02yeehi_Samot - i have just been informed there are no Free hardware phones, i think SIP phone is what I might have in mind
19:38.32SamotThere are no free SIP phones.
19:38.35[TK]D-Fenderthat description is also vauge if not simply wrong
19:39.03SamotThere are _free_ software phone clients.
19:39.17[TK]D-FenderWhat is the difference between your FIRST request and a "SIP phone"?
