*[[Mumble|Mumble]]: a vocal chatroom
#REDIRECT [[Lojban around the world]]
* [http://cinchcast.com/ Cinch] is an audio-blogging service which allows its users to record directly to the website or phone in to record.
 
[[User:Robin Lee Powell|Robin Lee Powell]]'s idea was that people should call each other at mutually convenient times for chats in Lojban.
 
The overall goal being to establish a broad level of conversational fluency in the lojban community.
 
The tools to be used are primarily [[Skype]] and direct browser-to-browser chats like [http://appear.in/ appear.in].
 
==== [[Phone Group Topics|Skype Phone Group Topics]] ====
*You can arrange a voice call (phone or VoIP) with another Lojban speaker at any skill level.
 
A <u>lot</u> of people have expressed concern about the phone group with respect to the "well, what would we talk about?" issue.  I'm pretty sure that discussions about that will take up a lot of space, so please see the [[Phone Group Topics|Phone Group Topics]] page.
 
Nowadays, [[Story Time With Uncle Robin|Story Time With Uncle Robin]] is a recurring topic.
 
====How to start voice chats====
There is the [https://plus.google.com/111885648105308968553/posts group] in Google+ where you can videochat in real-time with other Lojbanists. Both classes for beginners and advanced learners are planned. Just check out for the last messages on hangouts (the term that denotes videoconversations in Google+).
 
You can also use http://appear.in for voice chats.
 
==== A list of members (seldom updated) ====
You can also use this list especially if you use Skype. However, it's better to find in [[Learning (en)|IRC chat]] people willing to voice chat with you.

==== Joining ====
 
We welcome ''anyone'', regardless of expertise, physical location or monetary resources.  If you can't speak much lojban, well, learning to understand others will help.  If you can't afford to make long distance phone calls, one of the other members will be happy to call you.  If that doesn't work, [[Robin Lee Powell|Robin Lee Powell]]'m willing to pony up calling card money just to get this going.
 
To join, just add people above to your skype friends' list and ask who might be available to talk with you.
 
In an ideal universe, [[Robin Lee Powell|Robin Lee Powell]]'d like to see people matched up with people of very different levels of ability, to spread the expertise around as quickly as possible, but I'm not hugely attached to that.
 
==== Lojban On The Phone ====
 
Please bear in mind, everyone, that collision avoidance is hard on the phone.  Please become familiar with ta'a, re'i, be'e, je'e, ki'a and ke'o.  Especially that last one.  :-)
 
Here's a [[vlaselyle'u|phonetic alphabet]] for spelling words on the phone.
 
==== About Expertise ====
The "expertise" field in the members table is currently rather informal, and you are welcome to alter yours as you feel appropriate.  However, [[User:Robin Lee Powell|Robin Lee Powell]] and [[User:Nick Nicholas|Nick Nicholas]] have had their expertise certified in person.  The reason behind such system is the option of making the phone group into a ranking system, similar to Chess rankings.  In other words, if you want to be certified Expert level, you ask Robin or Nick to take some time to call you up and basically hammer away at you for an hour.  You, in turn, can then certify people at rankings below Expert (or, possibly, at or below expert).
 
Note that any use of word lists in any such tests would be cheating.
