Greetings!
We hope you all had a great week. On our Wednesday conference call
we discussed several items as a community. One item of note was how to
handle mailing list posts that are overly broad and reflect a lack of
research on the part of the individual doing the posting. After much
discussion we decided that we would create some online documentation
that helps new ones get their bearings when considering the big picture
in FreeSWITCH. (For example, what are modules and why do we have them?)
Thanks to Dave Kompel for helping to get that started.
We are also pleased to announce that we have started up the Adopt-a-module
project. The idea is simple but powerful: community members who are
knowledgeable and enthusiastic about a specific module will volunteer to
"adopt" that module. Adopting a module means doing several things:
watching the mailing list and IRC channel for questions, monitoring the
Git repository for new commits, keeping the module's wiki page
up-to-date, and acting as a bug marshal for any Jira tickets that are opened. We've had several people step up already. Please visit the list of modules needing adoption
to see if you there is one that fits your area of expertise. We give a
special note of thanks to Anshel Blum for helping to get this one going.
This week we welcome Ben Langfield and Ben Klang
who will be discussing the Adhearsion framework for FreeSWITCH.
Adhearsion is a Ruby-based framework for building telephony
applications. You may recall that Ben Klang joined us at ClueCon 2012 to make the announcement about Adhearsion being available for FreeSWITCH. We look forward to learning more about how Adhearsion works with FreeSWITCH.
Let's all have a great week!
