[FreeSWITCH Community] FreeSWITCH Weekly News and Notes

22 Oct '12

Hello again! Another busy week in the land of FreeSWITCH. As you know we have been doing some work on the FreeSWITCH project's infrastructure. We are happy to report that this work is essentially complete. Thank you for your patience in this process. We've experienced intermittent outages but thanks to the efforts of Brian West and Raymond Chandler these have been kept to a minimum. We also thank Ken Rice for his hard work during this time. His knowledge and experience have been invaluable. Last week we had a very interesting discussion<http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/FS_weekly_2012_10_17>from Chad Engler about his nodesl <https://github.com/englercj/node-esl> library - a connector between node.js and ESL <http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Esl>. Chad describes himself as a Web developer learning the telephony side of things. However, we were all impressed with how much knowledge he had with using ESL given the relatively short amount of time he's been working with it. This week<http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/FS_weekly_2012_10_24>we will be looking in on some Windows-centric ways of handling real-time data and related PBX items. The following week, on October 31, we will be hearing from our friends over at Redshift Networks<http://www.redshiftnetworks.com/>. They will be giving us close-up look at some of the worldwide SIP attacks that are being perpetrated against FreeSWITCH and other IP telephony servers. On a personal note I would like to thank everyone who volunteered to be a technical reviewer of the new edition of the FreeSWITCH book<https://www.packtpub.com/freeswitch-1-0-6-build-robust-high-performance-tel…>. I was overwhelmed with just how many people who are willing to volunteer their time. Packt Publishing will be contacting those who've been selected for this important job. This is a great community and we are all glad to be a part of it. Take care and have a great week. -- Michael S Collins ClueCon Team http://www.cluecon.com 877-7-4ACLUE

Greetings everyone! As you may know the FreeSWITCH team is continuing to update the project's infrastructure. Among other things this includes getting ready for IPv6<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv6>. Last week Brian West finished getting several of our servers all set up to handle IPv6 traffic. These includes www.freeswitch.org and conference.freeswitch.org. Thank you to all those who did testing and gave us valuable feedback. On last week's conference call<http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/FS_weekly_2012_10_10>we enjoyed our very own Ken Rice <http://www.cluecon.com/speaker/92/> giving us some great reminders on how to gather data for troubleshooting as well as tips on opening bug reports in Jira <http://jira.freeswitch.org>. We had a number of users comment on how useful it was to see examples of how to do this. The audio is up in the usual location<http://torrents.freeswitch.org/conf_call_2012-10-10.torrent>and we have a community member who is preparing a video which will be posted as soon as it is ready. This week we have Chad Engler from Patlive <http://www.patlive.com> coming to discuss with us his node-esl library. Chad has made the code available here <https://github.com/englercj/node-esl> on Github. He has included an interesting channel monitor example to give you an idea of what can be done by combining node.js with ESL. We look forward to hearing more about it on this week's conference call<http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/FS_weekly_2012_10_17> . Have a great week! -- Michael S Collins ClueCon Team http://www.cluecon.com 877-7-4ACLUE

Hello all! Last week was mostly status quo - busy but not too busy. We spent time working on chapters 5 and 6 of the second edition of the FreeSWITCH book<https://www.packtpub.com/freeswitch-1-0-6-build-robust-high-performance-tel…>. We also had an interesting discussion<http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/FS_weekly_2012_10_03>about Lumicall <http://www.lumicall.org>, an Android application that allows for mobile VoIP. This week<http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/FS_weekly_2012_10_10>we our very own Ken Rice (with an assist from yours truly) will be discussing FreeSWITCH data gathering and troubleshooting techniques. We will also be talking about how to get all of this data into a Jira in such a way that the developers will be thankful. The following week we've scheduled Chad Engler to come discuss with us his node.js/ESL interface<https://github.com/englercj/node-esl> . In other news we just wanted to let you know that our friends over at Vestec<http://vestec.com>have closed a new round of funding. Check out this release <http://www.prweb.com/releases/2012/10/prweb9961259.htm> for details. We are getting ready to put the finishing touches on the voice-enabled application contest. In the meantime keep working on those application ideas - you may just be the one to win some cash! We thank the Vestec folks for being so supportive. Have a great week! -- Michael S Collins Twitter: @mercutioviz http://www.FreeSWITCH.org http://www.ClueCon.com http://www.OSTAG.org

Welcome to October! I hope the weather is nice where you are. Here it's still above 100F. :) Last week was a little bit quieter than the previous few weeks. I had a chance to work on the FreeSWITCH change log and I made a list<http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/FS_weekly_2012_09_26#News.2C_Notes.2C_.26_M…>of some of the APIs, dialplan tools, and channel variables. These have all been added since 1.2.0 was initially released in early August. All of them have wiki entries - thanks to those who took the initiative to do add them. Feel free to add your knowledge and experience to the mix. Last week's conference call<http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/FS_weekly_2012_09_26>was an object lesson in the challenges of getting a SIP proxy working with TLS and FreeSWITCH. This week<http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/FS_weekly_2012_10_03>we are going to change direction and look at something that has been slowly (and painfully) advancing the past few years: mobile VoIP. We will be having Daniel Pocock share with us some information about Lumicall<http://www.lumicall.org>, an open source mobile VoIP client for Android devices. There is also a service component to Lumicall and we'll be learning about that as well. Come join us to see the state of mobile VoIP<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_VoIP>. We are working on some fresh presentations for later this month. We hope to have an update on e164.org and how we can all get involved. We are also preparing a presentation on how to perform some of the data-gathering techniques <http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Reporting_Bugs> that are needed for basic and advanced troubleshooting. If you have some input on these or other presentations please let me or Ken Rice know. Thanks! -- Michael S Collins Twitter: @mercutioviz http://www.FreeSWITCH.org http://www.ClueCon.com http://www.OSTAG.org
