[Freeswitch-dev] FreeSWITCH Project - Call For Assistance
by Michael Collins 22 Mar '12

22 Mar '12

Hello all! As you know, from time to time we come up with little tasks (and some not so little!) that members of the community can handle. I'd like to remind everyone of some the general things they can do to help out. I also have a few specific tasks that require some expertise in various areas. First, I'd like to have everyone check out this post<http://www.freeswitch.org/node/382>on freeswitch.org. It links to a great article by Andy Lester, who has been doing FLOSS stuff for ages. He offers 14 ways that people can contribute to an open source project, most of which have little to do with actual programming. I highly recommend that you read it, regardless of how long you have been associated with FreeSWITCH or any other open source project. Even if you don't learn anything new you will have something specific to give to a newbie who asks. :) Next, I'd like to remind everyone that we can always use people who download the latest git and give it a test drive. Although we will be doing the 1.0/1.2 branching soon we will still need people to "make current" and try things out. As always, put your bug reports and feature requests in Jira<http://jira.freeswitch.org>. Note: the reporting bugs <http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Reporting_Bugs>page of the wiki has information not only on collecting data (which helps you determine *if* it's really a bug) but also some tips on how to open a proper Jira ticket. Lastly, I'd like to remind everyone that we can always use help in verifying bug reports. It's not glamorous work but it is extremely helpful. Another area where people can help out is spreading the wealth of knowledge. We do this in three primary ways: - Answering questions on the mailing list - Helping people in the IRC channel - Updating the FreeSWITCH wiki It is part of my job to do all three of these, but as you can imagine one person can only accomplish so much. A number of community members have stepped up to help out, and to all of them I would like to say thank you. Also, I would like to remind everyone that I am available to assist those who wish to add to the wiki or who have questions about anything else with respect to answering questions from community members. Here are a few specific things that we talked about yesterday on the FreeSWITCH community conference call. If you have any knowledge or expertise in these areas I would like you to contact me off list and I can give you more information. - Wiki syntax highlighting - I installed a GeSHi-based syntax highlighter<http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi>on our wiki but it is not working. Anyone with mediawiki or even just plain PHP skills could assist with troubleshooting. - FreeSWITCH debug log syntax highlighting - If anyone has any experience with creating syntax highlighting for any of the popular text editors (Emacs, VIM, Textmate, Notepad++, UltraEdit, etc.) then please let me know. I'd like to get syntax highlighting for at least one text editor in *nix and one in Windows. - Documenting new FreeSWITCH items - on the Feb 8 conference call we talked about a number of new features<http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/FS_weekly_2012_02_08#News.2C_Notes.2C_.26_M…>. Many of these need documentation on the wiki. The task here is to look at each new feature, search the wiki to see if it has been documented, and then to add documentation where needed I know this may seem like a lot of stuff but what I really would like to do is have several people each take one small piece and focus only on it. If we break these down into smaller tasks I think it will be easier to make progress. Please let me know where you would like to help out. If you're feeling adventurous you can even take on a task about which you know very little and then make it a learning project. (I do this all the time. :) Thanks again for all of your help. With the ClueCon season gearing up we are going to need you more than ever. I look forward to working with you in the coming weeks and months. -Michael S Collins

[Freeswitch-dev] tone_detect_sleep & tone_detect_expires
by Bing LI 20 Mar '12

20 Mar '12

Hi, I just found that tone_detect worked sometimes and sometimes it didn't work. For a short length of tone like 100ms, it worked well. But for a much longer one (700ms or 1sec without pause), it didn't work. This one has not been detected but in the recording file, it was obvious. by this wiki http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Misc._Dialplan_Tools_tone_detect I don't know how exactly the *hits* works. And later I found these 2 variables called *tone_detect_sleep* and *tone_detect_expires. *But I didn't find any explanations about them. Can anybody bring more details? Thanks.

[Freeswitch-dev] FreeSWITCH Community Conf Call Tomorrow
by Michael Collins 20 Mar '12

20 Mar '12

Hey gang! Tomorrow's agenda page is here: http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/FS_weekly_2012_03_21 We're going to be doing a community scrum. That means no specific topic, but instead we're going to put our heads together and work on ML questions and any other discussion items that come up. In preparation for tomorrow I'd like you all to review the questions that have been coming in to the mailing list. There are lots that haven't been touched. Pick one or two that you either know how to handle or would be able to research and then we'll tackle them tomorrow. Thanks guys! -Michael

[Freeswitch-dev] Usage of ODBC pooling
by Erjan Tylepov 15 Mar '12

15 Mar '12

Hi there! Is this sequence, which should be executed for every db access, is a right way of ODBC connection pooling usage in FS: switch_odbc_handle_new switch_odbc_handle_connect either switch_odbc_handle_exec switch_odbc_statement_handle_free or switch_odbc_handle_callback_exec switch_odbc_handle_disconnect? Regards, YT.

[Freeswitch-dev] Request for review/commit FS-3188 batchmode for fs_cli prior to feature freeze (From march 2011)
by Mitch Capper 14 Mar '12

14 Mar '12

http://jira.freeswitch.org/browse/FS-3188 The script basically disables output of color codes / adds more flushing to fs_cli so it can be externally used. While ESL is frequently a better solution there are some cases where external dependencies are not desired. One can also add some more robust features to fs_cli without having to change the sources. It was created over a year ago and has not caused an issue that we have found yet. It was primarily done for fs_logger.pl ( http://jira.freeswitch.org/browse/FS-3945 ) a script meant to allow for much easier one line commands for users looking to submit log files for freeswitch. As this tool is largely useful for new users requiring them to first patch fs_cli prior to using it is a complex step that would be nice to avoid. The changes should have no real effect on fs_cli when the batchmode flag is not passed to it. ~Mitch

[Freeswitch-dev] FreeSWITCH 1.2 is on the horizon.
by Ken Rice 13 Mar '12

13 Mar '12

The FreeSWITCH Development Team is happy to announce that 1.2 is officially on the horizon. Starting Wed March 14th 2012, the Development branch of FreeSWITCH will reach a Feature Freeze. What does this mean for you the user? It means we will have a stable known feature set heading into the Release Candidate Cycle. Only patches that Fix Bugs will be accepted. If you have a feature you would like to see included, get us a Jira with a full patch set so we can evaluate its inclusion with 1.2. What we need from the community: Testing, Testing, more Testing, and Documentation Updates. The freeze will last 2 to 4 weeks as we spool up testing and everything else we need to get the Release Candidates ready for prime time. If you have outstanding bugs on Jira, please help us help you during this time by making sure all information on them is up to date. Grab the latest GIT Head and see if your bugs have been resolved and someone forgot to close your Jira. If you want to help or need some help diagnosing and issue visit us on IRC via irc.freenode.net/#freeswitch any time. The FreeSWITCH Dev Team
