[dundee] SFD update

[Arron M Finnon]

Yeah i'm sure they would be as supportive as usual however its still
going to be a case of getting it working Verses Skype already working.
Plus love it or hate it Skype is one of the best for firewall busting,
and compression of VoIP data going.

Software Freedom Day is more about sharing enjoyment and experience in
FOSS than what's compiled on metal.  In an ideal world we'd have used
Ekiga, but as some of the "back in the day" boys will remember we had to
hack about wpa_supplicant just to get on the wireless network.
