Greetings friends, as some may have guessed this has been a particularly difficult year moving GNU Telephony forward. I will comment to some of you separately on these issues in more detail in a follow-up email. I am using this moment, however, simply to let people know we have not gone away and that we do plan to continue forward.
It is worth noting this is GNU Telephony dispatch #1. Given that, I do plan to offer more dispatches in the future, and to do so on a somewhat regular basis. In dispatch #2 I will discuss the release of ucommon 0.4, along with the (anticipated) introduction of the GPLv3. I would also be happy to talk about the GNU Telephony roadmap in future dispatches and/or with those who are or wish to actively help work on it. What I will say about the roadmap in this dispatch is that detailed user stories are being written potentially for a GNU Telephony phone system and a new telecenter application. Part of this plan involves devolving the existing Bayonne codebase into several packages, including a new stand-alone call server and a stand-alone xmlrpc management server, as well as a lighter weight Bayonne 3.0 app server. At present I expect a 24-48 month development period to execute this plan based on current funding and resources. This may change if we find additional funding or resources, or if the current plan is modified. Finally, I would like to thank those who have chosen to donate funds and/or equipment at this time. I very much appreciate this right now.
