Just wanted to introduce myself as I'm sure I'll be posting here often looking for opinions. I have recently started a large project to create a scalable, fault-tolerant, and entirely open source communications platform and my intention is to use Freeswitch for the core of this system. I'm really excited about what I have seen from Freeswitch so far. I come from a big Asterisk background in the old days but have spent the last 5 years in proprietary voice systems prison :)
My main areas of focus right now are distributed call processing via core-odbc (possibly memcached?) with load balancing and tight integration with an openSER variant doing the balancing. I am hoping to be able to use the SER (probably opensips) to handle registrations and NAT traversal to keep the load from the core servers. I will post that question in a different thread though.
Also, I'm not much of a C programmer so core development is probably out, but I would be happy to contribute to the project in any way I can with testing, documentation, or script contribution.
Thanks, -Jody
Welcome Jody. FreeSWITCH is a great project with a wonderful Community. I recommend the FreeSWITCH book to get started. Obviously you have found your way to the mailing list. The #freeswitch channel on irc.freenode.net and the FreeSWITCH conference are also great places to discuss in real-time all things FreeSWITCH. And should you be willing to document your experiences setting up your project then the wiki is the place to go. Regards, Patrick
