[Asterisk-Users] VON Update - Pingtel Creates new SIP Open Source Group
The VON show has started off with a number of interesting announcements. First among these is a big announcement from Pingtel that they have created a not-for-profit corporation called SIPFoundry. This new company includes Pingtel (which has recently open sourced their SIPExchange PBX), Vovida and somebody else. Martin indicated in his presentation that the key goal of the new group is to leverage the open source SIP implementations to prevent legacy vendors (read Nortel, Avaya, Siemens, etc.) from using the Embrace and Extend model to co-opt and proprietize SIP. Pingtel (which makes SIP hardware) wants to keep the SIP market open and interoperable. They have a web site (which I can't seem to reach from the wireless network here at the show) for the new company/project: http://www.sipfoundry.org I spoke with Martin _ who gave the Pingtel presentation and is an officer of both Pingtel and the new SipForge organization. He indicated he would like to speak with Mark regarding the possibility of integrating the Asterisk community with the SIP Forge community. He indicated that Asterisk was not initially brought into the discussion only due to limited time/resources (and to a lesser degree because Asterisk is not SIP-centric). Can somebody out there take a look at the SIP Forge site and let us all know what the crux of the organization is set to be? They are having an open roll-out meeting tomorrow evening which should spell out some of the goals of the organization and the partners. Above all Martin wanted me to understand that he did not view the new open source organization as a competitor to Asterisk. What do you think? More on-the-scene reports to come.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] VON Update - Pingtel Creates new SIP Open Source Group
Title: [Asterisk-Users] VON Update - Pingtel Creates new SIP Open Source Group cut-n-paste from site: (seems to me like a SIP instance of CLASS Asterisk) Mission The mission of SIPfoundry is to promote and advance SIP-related Open Source projects. Through SIPfoundry the users, developers, and distributors of SIP based products can collectively support each other and accelerate the growth and adoption of SIP. Open source has already proven its ability to transform the way that other technologies are developed and the rate at which they can be adopted by end users. The ability of open source communities to improve the quality and utility of software surpasses anything that old fashioned business process ever acheived or ever could. Community development is especially powerful when applied to broad infrastructure technologies where standards and broad interoperability are important. We believe that the time for SIP to come into its own has arrived. The foundations have been laid for fundamental change in the structure of telecommunications. We invite you to join us as catalysts in this transformation. Organization SIPfoundry is a non-profit corporation. To quote its Bylaws: It is organized under the Massachusetts Nonprofit Mutual Benefit Corporation Law for the mutual benefit of the developers, distributors and customers of open source software products and services. Board Of Directors SIPfoundry will be governed by a Board of Directors drawn from the SIP and Open Source communities. The role of the board is to foster support for projects and set overall organization policies. Founding Board Nominees Bob Andreasen Jason Fischl Cullen Jennings Daniel Petrie Robert Sparks Martin Steinmann TBD Most business of SIPfoundry should be discussed on the developers mailing list; for communication just to the board, you may address email to board AT sipfoundry DOT org Privacy Policy SIPfoundry, Inc. respects and will make every reasonable effort to protect the privacy of the users of our projects, web site, and any associated services.

Looks like Pingtel is further delaying the release of their software. What really gets me is that they're labelling this as open source, even though that's exactly what they _haven't_ done. Didn't they promise in a press release that the source would be released in March? -Tilghman ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
RE: [Asterisk-Users] VON Update - Pingtel Creates new SIP Open Source Group
The rollout is tomorrow evening, Tuesday March 30 from 6:30 to 7:30PM at the Hilton in Santa Clara, just across the street from the Conference Center. It's being held in a ballroom (I don't have the name with me, I'll try to post it later). I hope to see you there.
