Hi,

When I have a look at wikipedia: 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_SIP_software#Mobile_clients, I see 
that there are a few other open source (mobile) clients for SIP. Today I 
installed Ring (http://www.ring.cx) on my ubuntu laptop and made a first 
call to an Android phone. I think this really works great and I like 
that it decentralized and secure. It would be cool if we can develop a 
Ring app for Ubuntu Touch  together with the Ring developers from 
Savoir-faire Linux, so it works on BQ and Meizu phones. Would be nice to 
hear your opinions on Ring and which of the current open source SIP 
implementations would be a good target to port to Ubuntu Touch (jitsi, 
linphone, ring, twinkle or any of other tools mentioned on the wikipedia 
list)
