[Freeswitch-users] FreeSWITCH in a University Environment

[Saugort Dario Garcia Tovar]

Hi all,

About a strategy to release and support.

I work for a integrator. We have in our portafolio two big brand: 
Alcatel and Genesys. They give new minor releases and hotfixes almost 
every week in their products. Mayor releases are available in one year, 
sometimes more.

About minor releases and hot-fixes, it depend on our local scenario. Not 
all our customer has issues than involves/require apply hot-fixes each 
week. We use this approach:
1. If there is an issue, we look in there are an aplicable hotfix. If 
not, we try to find a workaround or get a estimated date for a hotfix.
2. Each year we offer to our customer access to last binaries to upgrade 
their platform to the latest release

Also, you have to "design" an integral political procedure for upgrades, 
hot-fixes and roll-back. Because, FS depend on OS, and other components 
like mediagateway, routers, etc. I have seen in our customer, when they 
apply a patch in the OS or their pbx, could affect other systems.
