[sudo-discuss] payphone on the front of omni

[Jake]

there's a payphone mounted on the front of Omni, by the front door.

When we installed it, it was working and when you would lift the receiver, it
would connect to the asterisk server in the rack, and say "Press 1 to connect
to Sudoroom, press 2 to connect to Counter Culture Labs..."

and there were VOIP phones in CCL and sudoroom that would ring when it was
used.... I wanted to set it up so the phones could beep the door open while
someone was on the line.

Presently the receiver on the payphone is broken, but we have a replacement.  I
am willing to repair the phone and get the system back up and running, if
someone with software skills is interested in helping tune up the asterisk
server and configure the phones indoors.

We also need to clean the graffiti off of the phone.  This needs to happen ASAP
as there will be a building inspection by the insurance company and we need the
outdoors to look good.

The alternative is to remove the payphone and maybe "someday" put it back but
that would be a step back.

Is anyone interested in collaborating on this?  Obviously the priority is to
clean the appearance of the phone and replace the handset, so that it doesn't
detract from the appearance of the building.
