Introduction

Jami is a voice-over-IP software phone. Features include:

• user-friendly (fast, sleek, easy-to-learn interface)
• professional grade (file/call transfers, hold/resume, optimal audio quality, individual/group calls)
• compatible with Asterisk (using SIP account)
• peer-to-peer distributed calls (P2P-DHT)
• customizable

The SIP/audio daemon and the user interface are separate processes. Different user interfaces and scripts can easily be used to control the daemon. Jami comes with various graphical user interfaces and scripts to control the daemon from the shell.

Jami is currently used by the support team of Savoir-faire Linux Inc.

More information is available on the project homepage:

This source tree contains only the daemon, which handles the business logic of Jami. User interfaces are located in different repositories. See the Contributing section for more information.
