[Freeswitch-users] Looking to hire a consultant

[Darren]

I agree with Jay. Your $ might be something someone will take up, but your estimate (or use of the words “simple”) are way off.

If I had to guess:

•              Install a new FS Stable build on a new Debian 8.7 server
> 30 minutes if everything goes perfectly, 4-8 hours if anything doesn’t.

•              Move/Convert my current XML config over (about 30 extensions)
> 60-90 minutes figuring out what the heck your current XML even does. Maybe it can just be moved. If not and has to be refactored for some reason (or voicemails retained, media files retained, etc.) then add some time here. I’d guess 2-5 hours.

•              Help config Cisco SPA phones for SCA.
> Don’t know what this means, manually configure things/etc.? yikes x 30 phones.

Conceptually it’s simple. In practice, it’s work.

You are probably looking at a day or 2's worth of work there,
maybe more if you consider the risk of things blowing out or providing you support and bug fixes for bits that were missed or not quite working right.

Maybe your better off posting your budget to the mailing list and seeing if someone is willing to help you out.
Kinda like a bounty ?

Can’t afford them. I emailed them at least once before. Perhaps I misunderstood, but I came away thinking anything less than $1000 wasn’t worth their time or at least worth the overhead they charge for “planning”.  This is more like a $400 to $500 job max, I can’t spend $300 “planning.”

They wanted hours (2 min I think) of conf calls and planning at a pretty high rate just to talk about what I wanted to do. There would be more money spent “planning the project” than just doing the work.  I am all for specifications and project planning for something that will take more than 4 or 5 hours or is in some way vague, but that is not required on simple jobs. They are just priced out of my reach, I wish they were not but I don’t have hundreds of users to pass this on to.  I would rather send the FS team the money than anyone else, but not at that premium.

The project is pretty simple:

  *   Install a new FS Stable build on a new Debian 8.7 server
  *   Move/Convert my current XML config over (about 30 extensions)
  *   Help config Cisco SPA phones for SCA.

That should not cost $250+ to plan.

Hi,

We want to hire someone for a few hours to get a configuration working with FS and Cisco SPA504G phones.

We have all the basics working great for FS on SPA phones.  We need a single DID number to ring on 3 line buttons on 2 different phones.  If a call is placed on hold on phone 1, it must be picked up on phone 2. The customer claims the staff is too stupid to use call parking.

I think this really needs to be someone who knows both FS and Cisco SPA phones. There are just too many possible parameter combos for us to work it out.

Contact me directly if you can handle the task and have availability soon.

Thanks,
Sean
