[asterisk-biz] Do you develop SIP software or work heavily with your own Asterisk-based platform?

2016-08-16 Thread Olle E. Johansson
If so, please consider attending SIPit - the SIP interoperability test event 
held this September in the UNH Interoperability
labs in Durham, New Hampshire, USA.

At SIPit we test SIP implementations - it’s not a certification, but 
peer-to-peer tests and multiparty tests. We have a great
testbed of various NAT networks for those of you working with NAT traversal 
issues, we have IPv6 in our network
as well as an extensive test of TLS. This year we will also focus on STIR - the 
new secure identity handling in SIP.

During one week, we’ll work in a non-competitive environment to enhance 
implementations and improve standards.

Read more about why you should participate here:
http://www.slideshare.net/oej/participate-in-sipit

To register and learn more details got to the main SIPit web site
https://www.sipit.net/Main_Page

SIPit is organised by the SIP forum

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask!

[asterisk-biz] Want to learn Kamailio from the ground up? The Edvina SIP Masterclass in Madrid Sept 15-19 is open for registration!

2014-08-20 Thread Olle E . Johansson
Hi!

Kamailio is the leading Open Source SIP server. You can use it as a proxy, a 
presence server, registrar and much more.
It's a toolbox for creating SIP server applications. Scalability and 
performance is at the core of this SIP server.

But it is very different from Asterisk or FreeSwitch - or any SIP PBX you have 
been running before. To control it,
you process SIP messages in Kamailio's own programming language. This means, 
you have to understand
the SIP protocol.

My SIP Masterclass is the quick start for you. Five days of lessons and labs 
covering the SIP protocol,
RTP media, NAT traversal and how to get Kamailio to work in your network.  

Next class is in Madrid and it's priced at a summer special price - 2.500 Euro 
ex VAT for five days of 
SIP and Kamailio. 

Read more about the class on our web site. If you have any questions or want to 
book a seat, just give me a call 
or send me an e-mail. We already have many registrations, so this class is 
ready to go. Students getting ready
to learn how to build secure, scalable and resiliant SIP platforms. It's time 
for you to attend!

http://edvina.net/training/new-sip-masterclass/

I am also running this class - and many other related classes - in-house for 
companies that need a combined
workshop and training session. If you are interested in such an event, just 
contact me and we'll set it up.

Looking forward to seeing you in Madrid!

Best regards,
/Olle E. Johansson

[asterisk-biz] Time to scale your Asterisk with Kamailio? Attend my training this summer!

2014-06-03 Thread Olle E. Johansson
Hi!

The reason why I am writing to you is that I am preparing for the next SIP 
Masterclass and still have a few seats available for you or your team members. 
The class is administered by Avanzada 7 and held in beautiful Torremolinos, 
just outside Malaga, Spain. We start June 30 and end after five days of 
lessons, labs and SIP fun on Friday July 4th. 

This class is for the Kamailio beginner, someone that has been running Asterisk 
for some time and need to figure out how to scale, how to add new services and 
how to configure and run Kamailio. 

 You will learn how and why you use Kamailio in your network. How you install, 
configure and run it. How you handle NAT traversal and how you integrate it 
with Asterisk or FreeSwitch.

Students run practical labs in virtual machines on their own laptops, being 
able to take all the configurations back home and get them running in a 
real-life SIP network. Every day we mix labs with lessons, making practical use 
of the knowledge gathered.

The class begins with the SIP protocol from a basic level, something that you 
must understand in order to configure and run Kamailio. From there we work 
ourselves up the stack, covering RTP, RTCP, QoS, NAT traversal and of course 
security. 

The class builds on my 10 years of VoIP training experience that started with 
the Asterisk Bootcamps and then the Asterisk SIP Masterclasses. It's my third 
generation of training class - one that focuses on Kamailio and SIP. There will 
be a lot of Asterisk in there too, I'm still working with Asterisk on a daily 
basis as a developer. If you have attended one of my Asterisk bootcamps or 
Asterisk MasterClasses before, this is a new class, an upgrade.

You can learn more about the class at 
http://edvina.net/training/new-sip-masterclass/

If you have any questions or just want to register - please contact me directly!

If this class doesn't fit the needs of your team, I quite often run in-house 
trainings on site. That way, I can select the training material and pace that 
fits your group. I have training material on a wide range of topics, from 
TCP/IP basics to SIP, Asterisk, Kamailio and WebRTC - including development 
with Asterisk and Kamailio. It's a great way to bootstrap a new project or 
raise the shared knowledge in a group. Don't hesitate to contact me if this 
would work better.


Looking forward to seeing you in Malaga!

[asterisk-biz] Edvina and Avanzada 7 offers grant for participation in the SIP Masterclass, July 2013, Malaga, Spain

2013-05-17 Thread Olle E. Johansson
The next Edvina SIP Masterclass featuring Kamailio and SIP will take place the 
first week of July in Malaga, Spain. One week of labs, lessons and interaction 
with other people working with realtime communication will be a boost to your 
career, and give you insights into how you build scalable infrastructure 
platforms for SIP communication.

It’s a lot of fun and a great learning experience for everyone. But not 
everyone that needs it can afford participating, which is why we are offering a 
SIP Masterclass Grant programme this year.

Since there are hard times with a high rate of unemployment in Southern Europe, 
Edvina and Avanzada 7 has decided to open up a grant for a free seat in the 
class. To apply for this, you have to be unemployed and have previous 
experience with realtime communication – using Asterisk or FreeSwitch or maybe 
even OpenSER or Kamailio. Edvina and Avanzada 7 will make the decision about 
who gets the opportunity to participate for free. You will have to pay travel 
and your stay, we will give you a no-cost participation in this class.

Read more at this url:
http://edvina.net/blog/2013/05/sip-masterclass-grants/

In addition, we're open for registrations for the class. For payments, there 
are options to divide the fee into multiple installments. Check with Avanzada7 
and find a solution that works for your company!

[asterisk-biz] Reverse bounty - funding needed for SIPADDHEADERRESPONSE()

2013-04-29 Thread Olle E. Johansson
Friends,

Many people have asked me for the ability to add headers to a response to an 
INVITE. With a function, like SIPADDHEADERRESPONSE()
you can add a header in the dialplan that will be copied to all 1xx class 
responses after that dialplan entry, as well as in the final response
to the INVITE.

In many cases this is for call tracking with Voip Monitor or Homer SIP Capture 
- but also for other purposes. 

In order to complete such a branch for 1.8, 11 and trunk I would need two days 
of funding for coding, managing the process of reviewboard and testing.

If you are interested to contribute at least 150 USD or more please contact me 
off list. The fee would be billed from my company.

Thanks for your support,
/Olle

[asterisk-biz] The Edvina SIP Masterclass v2.0 in Miami FL - Dec 10-14 2012

2012-10-30 Thread Olle E. Johansson
Friends,
In December, I'm running the new Edvina SIP Masterclass in Miami Florida. This 
is the first time in many years I'm running a training in the USA.  Want to 
learn more about the OpenSER/Kamailio SIP Server and the SIP Protocol through 
labs and presentations given by a teacher with ten years of experience in 
building large scale SIP networks? 
Register now to get seats! Email i...@edvina.net for details.

* WHAT IS THIS CLASS?

I've been running a class named "The Asterisk SIP Masterclass" for many years, 
as well as a large number of in-house classes for developers, VoIP management 
teams and call centers. When you do that, you add information to the slide deck 
every time. And you keep adding. After a few years, you have too many slides 
for the class and you gotta change. So that's exactly what I did. I've removed 
the Asterisk part and added more about SIP and much, much more about Kamailio 
and how to operate Kamailio in a network with a media server like FreeSwitch, 
Asterisk or a proprietary box.

This class is for users of Asterisk and FreeSwitch that wants to learn how to 
build larger, scalable and open SIP networks with Kamailio – the Open Source 
SIP server. The class interactively teaches you SIP and Kamailio, building a 
platform step by step. When you leave the class, you should know much more 
about how SIP works and how Kamailio can scale your existing solution or be the 
new platform for a Unified Communication network.

* WHAT IS THE CONTENT?
• The SIP Protocol
• Kamailio – the SIP server
• SIP call flows: Call transfers
• SIP: Forking and routing
• Kamailio – transactions and forking
• SIP Media: RTP, RTCP and QoS issues
• SIP NAT traversal: Stun, Turn, Outbound
• SIP presence infrastructure: SUBSCRIBE, NOTIFY, PUBLISH
• SIP Dialogs, dialog states, blinking lamps
• SIP messaging and presence: SIMPLE and MSRP
• Kamailio messaging and presence
• Building SIP services with Kamailio and a media server (Asterisk, 
FreeSwitch)
• SIP load balancing and failover, DNS
• Kamailio: DNS, failover with Dispatcher
• SIP security: TLS, S/MIME, SRTP, SIP identity

In the class, we will mix generic SIP presentations with 
implementation-specific presentations covering Kamailio and then put everything 
together in labs. You bring your own laptop with a Linux virtual machine. You 
are of course free to bring any SIP devices you have and want to use during the 
training!


Contact me today if you have any questions or just want to reserve a seat. 
Details about location, prices and the class is available on the Edvina web 
site at this address:

Looking forward to meeting you in Florida!

SIP-greetings!

[asterisk-biz] Launching: The NEW Edvina SIP Masterclass in Stockholm and Miami

2012-08-22 Thread Olle E. Johansson
Friends,

Yesterday Edvina, my company, launched the new and updated SIP Masterclass 
training. It is scheduled for Stockholm in October 2012 and Miami, Florida in 
December 2012 (thanks to Redfone Communication).

The new SIP Masterclass is partly based on the old Asterisk SIP Masterclass, 
but focuses more on Kamailio - the leading Open Source SIP server - and the SIP 
protocol. We've added a lot of Kamailio information and new labs, as well as 
information about SIP updates like Outbound, GRUU, ICE, Turn and much more. 

* A HIGH LEVEL TRAINING IN SIP AND BUILDING SCALABLE REALTIME PLATFORMS

The Edvina SIP Masterclass is aimed at people who work professionally with 
Asterisk, FreeSwitch or other systems and wants to learn more about how to 
operate a SIP proxy - Kamailio - and get scalability, new services and failover 
for their platforms. The class also gives a thorough understanding of the SIP 
protocol, from the basics to advanced functionality like dialog states, SIP 
transfers and NAT traversal.

• The SIP Protocol
• Kamailio – the SIP server
• SIP call flows: Call transfers
• SIP: Forking and routing
• Kamailio – transactions and forking
• SIP Media: RTP, RTCP and QoS issues
• SIP NAT traversal: Stun, Turn, Outbound
• SIP presence infrastructure: SUBSCRIBE, NOTIFY, PUBLISH
• SIP Dialogs, dialog states, blinking lamps
• SIP messaging and presence: SIMPLE and MSRP
• Kamailio messaging and presence
• Building SIP services with Kamailio and a media server (Asterisk, 
FreeSwitch)
• SIP load balancing and failover, DNS
• Kamailio: DNS, failover with Dispatcher
• SIP security: TLS, S/MIME, SRTP, SIP identity

* A NEW CLASS BASED ON MANY YEARS OF EXPERIENCE

The old class has been running for many years with good feedback from the 
students. The classes are based on years of experience on building scalable 
platforms for enterprises, the public sector, call centers, service providers  
and universities. The class starts on a level where basic Elastix, FreePBX, 
Asterisk and FreeSwitch trainings leave the student.

Read more about the class here:
- http://edvina.net/blog/2012/08/new-sip-masterclass/
- http://edvina.net/training/new-sip-masterclass/

* DISCOUNT ON THE STOCKHOLM CLASS!

We have a *SPECIAL OFFER* for the first class in Stockholm, since this is the 
first class with the new material and the new labs. New students get a 20% 
discount and students that have attended Edvina trainings before get 30% 
discount! Contact us today via e-mail to reserve a seat!

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me!

[asterisk-biz] Last minute bookings - Asterisk SIP Masterclass in Barcelona

2012-06-08 Thread Olle E. Johansson
Friends in the community,

Thanks to some unfortunate last-minute cancellations we have a few seats 
available on the Asterisk SIP Masterclass in Barcelona next week. 

This class goes through SIP, Asterisk and Kamailio. It starts where the 
Asterisk classes and dCAP leaves you and introduces Kamailio on a basic level. 
We're focusing on how to build scalable SIP networks.

* The SIP Protocol
* ASterisk SIP channel
* Kamailio/OpenSER/SIP-router
* Debugging your installation
* NAT traversal
* Scaling Asterisk
* Large scale platforms with Kamailio and Asterisk
* SIP presence with Asterisk and Kamailio

And much more. To spend one week with a gang of VoIP professionals will give 
you a lot of input, inspiration and new knowledge.


This is the very LAST TIME I'm teaching Asterisk in a public class. After this 
I will only do Asterisk trainings in in-house trainings.

(And today is a perfect day to negotiate pricing with me...)

Feel free to contact me to register today!

For more information, please read http://edvina.net/training/sipmasterclass/

See you in Barcelona!

Regards,
/Olle

Absolutely. But it's at least an estimate better than 500 ms in most

Form the RFC:

"T1 is an estimate of the round-trip time (RTT), and it defaults to 500 ms."

"The default value for T1 is 500 ms. T1 is an estimate of the RTT between the 
client and server transactions.
Elements MAY (though it is NOT RECOMMENDED ) use smaller values of T1 within 
closed, private networks
that do not permit general Internet connection. T1 MAY be chosen larger, and 
this is RECOMMENDED if it
is known in advance (such as on high latency access links) that the RTT is 
larger. Whatever the value of T1,
the exponential backoffs on retransmissions described in this section MUST be 
used."

I can't see how this is not RFC 3261 compliant. We have a good estimate of the 
RTT and use it.

[asterisk-biz] The final Asterisk SIP Masterclass - Register now for beautiful Barcelona, Spain!

2012-04-12 Thread Olle E. Johansson
Friends,

I've been running the Asterisk SIP Masterclass for many years now. It's time to 
run the last show - partly with new material. Compared with the very first 
Asterisk SIP Masterclass I would say that I've rewritten 90% of the material. 
That's what happens during the class. Students ask questions, you write a 
slide. The word changes, you write a slide. You realize you've been wrong, you 
delete or edit a slide. It's a moving target.

The last one of these classes that I teach will be in Barcelona, Spain - June 
11th to June 15th. 

* Why the last one?
--
Things change and you need to follow. During the last couple of years I've been 
running many, many in-house trainings and workshops covering both Asterisk, SIP 
in general and Kamailio. There seems to be more demand for customized trainings 
that boost a team and help them move forward. I will continue with these 
trainings, as well as try to come up with other trainings that will run just a 
few times - more lab oriented possibly.

* What is this class?
---
From the sales material at http://www.avanzada7.com:

"This class is focusing on building a scalable SIP realtime network. With a 
combination of theory and practical labs, you will learn how to setup and 
configure Asterisk and Kamailio - the Open Source SIP server - in a scalable 
enterprise or service provider network. We will go through various kinds of 
setups and give you insight in the design of real SIP networks with Asterisk 
running in enterprise and service provider networks. The teacher Olle 
Johansson, has many years of experience as an Asterisk developer as well as a 
community member of Kamailio.org. By spending a week with Olle, you will get a 
lot of insight into current and future features, bugs and implementation 
details in a way that's hard to get otherwise. 

Olle is a consultant working with architecture and implementation of large 
scale communication platforms based on the SIP protocol. He has experience from 
service providers, universities, call center platforms as well as enterprise 
solutions. With experience of Unix and TCP/IP networking for over 20 years, he 
has a lot of insight and knowledge, which he is using as a teacher."

The class is a five day high level class. You will meet not only myself, but 
also other students that work with these tools and protocols, learn from them 
and work together to solve issues in the labs. You need to have a basic 
knowledge of Linux (how to start/stop applications, edit text files and build 
applications) and Asterisk. This class is starting at a high level with 
Asterisk. If you rather use FreeSwitch but want to learn Kamailio that is no 
problem. You will just have to endure a few slides on Asterisk - but many of 
the issues apply to FreeSwitch as well as other PBXs too.

The cost is 3.200 Euro ex VAT. Companies outside of EU do not pay VAT as well 
as companies in EU with a VAT registration number.

If you have any questions or want to register, feel free to contact me directly.

Looking forward to seeing you in Barcelona!

Best regards,
/Olle

[asterisk-biz] Asterisk Training for developers - from idea to reality?

2011-08-17 Thread Olle E. Johansson
Hello friends,

For a few years, I've been working as an advisor and teacher to several 
Asterisk platform developers. They work with AGI, AMI and the dialplan. 

Now I wonder if there are people interested in such a training class? I've done 
several in-house trainings like this.

I would guess topics would be:

 - SIP & Asterisk introduction
 - Models: SIP Proxy, PBX, Feature server, IVR server
 - Asterisk concepts 
 - Asterisk Manager - AMI
 - Asterisk Gateway Interface - AGI
 - DTMF control - IVRs
 - Call quality over IP
 - Call scenarios 
 - Queues
 - Transfers
 - Normal bridges
 - Conferences

We would go through practical concepts like call transfers, statistics, 
dialplan integration, testing and much more.

The class won't cover a particular programming language, students are expected 
to be able to handle their development environment by themselves, I would help 
with the Asterisk integration. The result would propably be 70% training, 30% 
workshop based on student feedback, ideas and requirements.

Any takers? It's not a formal registration, just feedback whether this sounds 
interesting for you or not. If you have additional ideas, please don't hesitate 
to add them. 

Answers off-list directly to my e-mail so we don't clutter the list. THanks.

Please observe that 1.4 is still a maintained release and the ONLY 
long-term-support version. The next version with long term support is the 
future 1.8. Security patches are still applied to all releases from 1.2.

Asterisk-related equipment, please don't hesitate to inform your resellers and 
customers.

Let's use all the resources we have to make sure that we limit the damage that

Well, since I'm paid to fix 1.4, CEL is out of the question at this point. When 
I move the code forward to trunk, CEL may be the proper way, depending on how 
people will work with CEL. The issue is that we get the final RTCP reports 
after or in close relationship to hangup.The CDR system can't handle that, and 
I don't know if CEL has improved this functionality.

I'm right now considering the Shakespearian question "what is a stream?". RTCP 
has a stream identifier and when we end a stream, we should send an RTCP 
goodbye. Now, when we place a stream on hold, it's not ending a stream really. 
In Asterisk, we're stopping both rtp and rtcp when placed on hold, which is a 
bug. When we transfer, it's a new stream coming up. Interesting...

>From my pinefrog-1.4 branch :-)
There's a lot to be done here. I'm adding manager events and storing data in a 
realtime database - one record per call leg. What I'm wondering is how we 
should handle call transfers and hold situations. A call that's transferred has 
multiple streams and RTCP is only valid for one stream. We should propably send 
one message like this per stream and have a counter. If you call someone 
locally and then transfers that person to me - the first call will be fine, but 
going from you all the way to the deep frozen north will means that a lot of 
packets just give up, freeze to death and die so that part of the call will be 
awful. We need to make sure we separate the issues and that we're somehow able 
to relate quality to defined peers in sip.conf. The RTCP engine in Asterisk 
needs an overhaul, and I got partial funding to do it. Sitting with wireshark, 
asterisk and five different phones and compare the RTCP traffic. Seems like the 
implementations vary on the phone side as well.

Well, we could have a res_system.so module that did that.

We do have that in voicemail. I was thinking about it for the named ACLs. 
Personally I think if we expose the information in manager and the security 
events log, a third party app could send snmp traps or nagios events. The 
res_snmp code is hard to get into and I don't think we have a trap API in there 
- but that's of course one standardized way of doing it.

Or an asterisk monitor running on that machine.

I also made a dialplan app where you can check that a manager account is logged 
in. If it's not, if the monitor is missing, you can perform actions inside your 
asterisk now. It's not merged yet, waiting for approval in reviewboard, but I 
have it running in production.

This is really an interesting discussion!

Asterisk AMI - the manager interface - supports 1-3. You can also trigger 
alarms and get manager events when you reach maxcalls (setting in 
asterisk.conf). As you said, #4 is solved by a SQL query.

I would like feedback on what's missing in the AMI in order to monitor an 
Asterisk platform. I've added a lot of events and some actions to AMI in order 
to enhance monitoring, but new ideas are always welcome.

You have to learn about the local channel and how to use that from Originate. I 
think that's covered in the Asterisk book, downloadable from asteriskdocs.org 
and in many examples on the web.

Secondly, this mailing list is for Asterisk development - new code and issues 
with the Asterisk code. Your questions would get a faster and better answer on 
asterisk-users. Even if it's about development, it's about development of your 
own app, not about Asterisk.

Good luck in your Asterisk adventures!

[asterisk-biz] Inhouse trainings for Asterisk, SIP and SIP Proxys

2009-11-18 Thread Olle E. Johansson
During the last year, I've had a number of inhouse training sessions covering

* Asterisk
* Asterisk and SIP integration
* Asterisk application integration - AGI and AMI
* SIP
* SIP Proxys - OpenSER/Kamalio SIP-router

I'm currently planning the training schedule for the spring of 2010 for our 
open classes that will run in London, Berlin, Stockholm, Orlando/FL and 
Burlington/MA. If you are interested in in-house trainings, please contact us 
now so that we can plan ahead. The standard classes that I run are

* Asterisk Masterclass (similar to the bootcamp)
* Asterisk SIP Masterclass - moving on from the bootcamp/dCAP level and 
focusing more on building scalable SIP solutions
* SIP-router SIP Masterclass - For the OpenSER/Kamailio gurus-to-be

The Asterisk and SIP-router Masterclasses are organized with Daniel-Constatin 
Mierla, Asipto - one of the core developers in SIP-router/OpenSER/Kamailio.

In-house trainings are often more effective if you have a team that needs 
training for a specific project. I can freely pick presentations from my 
standard classes or make new ones so that the training is 100% adopted to your 
business needs. I have 15 years of experience doing trainings in various 
topics, from basic TCP/IP networking to PKI and IP-telephony. I wrote the first 
Asterisk Bootcamp and organized the trainings with Steven Sokol in the USA and 
in Europe, so I have long-term experience of doing training in Asterisk and 
VoIP too.

We do organize trainings with local partners. If you are interested in 
co-organizing trainings with us, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Looking forward to your reply!

Best regards,
/Olle

[asterisk-biz] Asterisk 1.4 RTCP support - want to fund fixing it?

2009-11-16 Thread Olle E. Johansson
Friends in the Asterisk community.

Recent testing has proved to me that the Asterisk 1.4 RTCP support, the 
protocol that measures media quality factors such as round trip time, jitter 
and packet loss, is not up to standard. There are many bug reports in the 
tracker about bad calculations, but the fact is that we're basing all RTCP 
stats on random data today, if anything at all.

The RTCP packet sent from the remote end contains several information blocks. 
Our code assumes the first one is of one type and the next one is of another 
type, which is not correct. Thus it mixes sender and receiver reports. In 
trunk, RTCP maintains aggregated data about the packet loss and jitter for a 
call, something 1.4 does not do, it seems to report the last reported value for 
round trip and jitter. Asterisk should also parse the RTCP SDES information 
block and send one, as that block contains the overall session identifier for a 
call, the one that we should use to aggregate data at the end of the call to 
present the RTPAUDIOQOS etc variables.

I am searching funding from Asterisk service providers, users and integrators 
to fix this. I want to fix 1.4 so it shows correct data per call and verify 
that trunk works correctly. 1.4 is in use today in many production environments 
and trunk is, hopefully, going to be the next long-term support Asterisk 
version (pending decision). Unless someone that provides funds wants me to 
check 1.6.x versions and provide fixes for them, I won't focus on those 
releases.

Please contact me OFF LIST if you are interested in funding this work. If a few 
interested parties can fund one work-day each, so I can spend at least three 
full days on this issue, I think a lot can be done to improve our RTCP support.

Thanks,
/Olle

There is a current bug in 1.6 for TCP connections (with or without  
TLS) that may be in action,
where asterisk instead of looking at IP headers actually match on the  
Contact:. This is wrong
and will be fixed soon in all 1.6 versions and trunk.

For UDP, we actually DO look at the IP headers when we match incoming  
calls with peers.
For user matching, we do match on the From: header.

In addition we have authentication schemes for incoming calls for both  
users and peers.

I do recommend ucing the ACL as well as authentication.

To clarify: The password is never sent over the wire. It's a challenge- 
response
authentication mechanism that sends a MD5 digest of a combination of
data sent in clear text and a shared secret that is not sent at all  
("password").

I see two other alternatives:

- TLS authentication. This requires a lot of certificate/key pair  
management.
- Stronger challenge-response by moving away from MD5 to SHAxxx.

As always with Open Source, it's a matter of funding. We have worked  
out two
rather detailed plans for new security architectures in Asterisk, but  
as with the
chan_sip3 (pineapple) project, we've haven't got funding for the work.

[asterisk-biz] Sponsorships for Codename Pineapple (chan_sip3) now open

2007-03-08 Thread Olle E Johansson

What is Codename Pineapple?
---
Codename Pineapple is a rewrite of the current Asterisk SIP channel.  
The goal is to make a SIP implementation that is more compatible with  
the current SIP specs and one that can participate better in a SIP  
network with proxys. Support for TCP/TLS, SIP transactions and other  
new SIP features are planned, as well as a change in the way we  
configure SIP devices. No more "friends", "users" and "peers".


You can read more about Codename Pineapple on http://www.codename- 
pineapple.org


A bit more technical information, including my todo-list, is in the  
doxygen docs:


 http://www.codename-pineapple.org/doc/html/chan_sip3_00index.html


* Why sponsor?
---
Development takes time, time costs money. As a free Asterisk  
developer, not being employed by anyone by myself, I need sponsors in  
order to be able to develop. For Codename Pineapple, I would like to  
focus for the most part of six months so that we can see progress.  
That won't happen without sponsorships, since in that case I would  
have to find other projects to work with and Pineapple would have to  
roll along on spare time.


If I'm lucky enough to find sponsors for more than what I need, I  
will contract subcontractors to add to the speed of the project.


* How do my company become a sponsor?
-
You sign up for sponsorship for a period of time. The cost depends on  
the level of sponsorship, but I'm of course open for suggestions on  
one-time fees too. Check the sponsorship web page on http:// 
www.codename-pineapple.org/sponsor.shtml


Current sponsors are

* Voop - the Internet Dialtone - http://www.voop.com

* Nuvio - applications delivered http://www.nuvio.com

* Digium - the Asterisk Company http://www.digium.com

and of course Edvina.



Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or want to  
proceed with a sponsorship!




Thanks for your support,

[asterisk-biz] Register now for the Asterisk SIP masterclass and the European BeachCamp!

2006-07-03 Thread Olle E Johansson

Just a short message from Edvina - the Asterisk Training company:

The Asterisk SIP masterclass is in Chicago, Illinois next week. It's  
going to be a lot of
labs and theory focused on how to make Asterisk work in a scalable  
SIP network.
This class continues on an advanced level from the bootcamp class, so  
you need

experience with Asterisk and Linux/Unix to attend.

We still have a few seats and if you register directly to us, this  
first class is only

USD 2.950. The next class will be priced USD 3.500.

Today, we're launching the first ever BeachCamp - Asterisk Bootcamp  
in Southern
Spain. A class where all students and teachers stay in the same  
hotel, close to the
Mediterranean beach. The class will be held in English, but with a  
Spanish-speaking
assistant teacher. It will be a lot of fun, a lot of Asterisk and a  
lot of teaching. At the end,

we have the dCAP exams.

The Asterisk BeachCamp is at the end of September, 25-29th, in  
Malaga, Spain and is

organized in cooperation with Avanzada 7 - our Spanish training partner.

For both classes, I will be the head teacher. We have had a lot of  
interest in the
BeachBootCamp (based on rumours about it), so make sure you register  
early.

held by


* Olle E. Johansson, Asterisk SIP developer
* Ed Guy, the architect behind Free World Dialup
* Terry Wilson, a consultant that has built service provider SIP  
networks


The class agenda is being worked on now, but will include:

* Asterisk basics - a recap
* SIP - an introduction to the protocol
* SIP proxys and network infrastructure
* The Asterisk SIP channel - introduction
* Traversing firewalls and NAT devices
* Key system functionality
* SIP phones - audio and video
* Building a SIP network with Asterisk and SIP proxys
* SIP test tools

As the bootcamp, this class will involve a lot of labs.

At this point, we're opening up for early bird registration on this

 It's not a huge undertaking, but it's also not that trivial. You need
to make certain that the space you're asking to park something at is
within the valid range of spaces and you need to make sure that you're
not asking the system to park a call in a space that is already
occupied.





You could use the multiparking function for this and define a single
space parking lot. It's in testing in test-this-branch if you want to  
test.


One thing we don't have is the silent parking. That would have to
be implemented as an option per parkinglot. Also, the SIP channel
plays it for SIP transfers without using the Park() application, so
that needs to be fixed somehow as well. I don't know if other VoIP
channels have similar behaviour - or the Zap channel for that matter.

Yes, the work that this mail thread is about, is done on current chan_sip.

Moving to another SIP library is something to be considered for a future 
version of chan_sip, in the chan_sip3 project.



Now to ask what appears to me to be an obvious question.  Again not to
demean any work that you have done, nor the situation that it put you
in, but if chan_sip3 would be a new sip stack and in theory obsolete
your work by using a sip stack that presumably has all the features you
described plus potentially additional ones (CNG, VAD, etc) why should
resources not be put towards that project instead?

I understand that this can sound inflamatory and that is not my intent,
email often sounds different than it is intended, either too harsh or
too jovial, my intent is just to gather information.


Good question. Chan_sip3 is propably a year from now. I will look for 
sponsors for that development soon, but a lot of service providers and 
users need improved SIP transfer support sooner than that, in a stack 
that even with the flaws it has, is tested. Chan_sip3 will, knowing 
history, take a few development cycles to complete and be stable enough 
to run in a service provider or business production environment.

not to demean your work but why cant an existing sip stack be used like
freeswitch.org is doing?  There are good stacks out there that do all
this, and as such it wouldnt take as much work becuase you wouldnt have
to reinvent the wheel.  

That is a decision for the future, for chan_sip3. Most of this work is 
done and targeted at current chan_sip.

[asterisk-biz] Sponsor Asterisk development project: SIP attended transfers

2006-02-01 Thread Olle E Johansson
Last year, I spent a lot of time rewriting SIP transfers in chan_sip, in 
order to enhance the support for attended transfers, especially in the 
case where two servers where supported. This was paid for by a service 
provider, who after they installed it in their production systems 
decided not to pay all of the fees that we had agreed upon.


Even though it works in their environment, there is still some work to 
do to finish this quite large change and make it more generic and 
complete for standalone servers, as well as cleaning the source code up 
for peer review and possible commit. I need funding up to $10.000 USD to 
be able to dedicate time to complete this project and submit it to the 
Asterisk project.


The code
* Makes transfers fail properly (right now, we send the transfer target
  a congestion tone or a busy signal, with no recovery)
* Adds a scheme to allow/deny transfers per peer/user or in general
* Adds support for INVITE with replaces headers
* Adds support for attended transfers with call legs on different servers

Most of this have been tested in depth, and is in production today.

I already have one service provider contributing 1.000 USD towards this 
project. I will start as soon as I have guarantees of 10.000 USD, not to 
operate at a loss again with this project. Any contribution is welcome.


If you are interested, please mail me off list.

Thank you for your support!

[Asterisk-biz] Astricon 2005 Network Sponsor wanted

2005-07-27 Thread Olle E. Johansson
During the two Astricon shows we had so far, network connectivity has
been a hot topic.

For Astricon 2004, the hotel promised us that they had a
state-of-the-art network and that their provider's best network engineer
would be on site to make sure that it worked.
...it worked for almost an hour... 500 computer users in one hotel was a
good stress-test for both the network and the network engineer.

For Astricon Europe 2005, the hotel had fibre and free Internet access.
It worked for two days, which was a huge improvement.

Now, for Astricon 2005, we're looking for outside help. We are allowed
to set up our own network in the building. If there are companies out
there that can provide us with a network - internet connection - that
can handle all the traffic from the attendees, expected to be at least
750, we are willing to discuss an attractive sponsorship deal.

We are going to be in the Hyatt hotel, a few blocks from Disneyland, in
Anaheim, California.

Contact us on [EMAIL PROTECTED] if you are willing to take this challenge!

Hi All,
 
  I'm very interested in Asterisk PBX and have successfully installed it 
in my home with 2 SIP phonesets. After further studying this system, I 
find its functions are very useful in small business office. My questions:
  1. May I install it in my company office for internal use?
Of course, it's open source.
  2. If possible, may I do some further development to sell this system? 
Who should I pay for the license and how much?
Please do further development and contribute it back to the community!
As long as you are using it yourself, you don't have to pay a license.
If you *sell* Asterisk with your own additions, you either have to
give the source code of your additions away to the buyer under the GPL 
license and he can do whatever he wants to do with it - or buy a 
commercial license from Digium and thus get the commercial rights to the 
software and the right to sell your customized version.

Regarding prices for that, contact Digium sales.
