IMHO the list is quite appropriate for announcing isp-related software.

Plase continue the announcements.

ObDebian: I develop on Debian and am a Debian developer.  I'd very much
like to upload Freeside packages for 2.3 soon.  I'm sorry if the rather
generic announcment was a put-off.  I'm specifically interested in
packaging the software for Debian and it's turning out to be a rather
large and hairy problem due to the number of different systems the
"central billing database" interacts with.  Help would be most welcome. 

In the meantime, I've packaged up the missing perl library dependencies
and uploaded them to unstable (this was a couple weeks ago, so they should
be on all the mirrors by now).

debian-isp is for "[d]iscussion about issues and problems specific to
Internet Service Providers (ISPs for short) that use Debian." (This is a
little vague.)

Anyways, I believe debian-isp is the wrong forum for announcing
non-Debian-specific software releases. Please consider, for example, using
LinuxApps and freshmeat.

If everyone started using this mailing list to announce their ISP-related
software, we'd have too much noise and probably no useful discussion.

ANNOUNCE: Freeside 1.3.0 released

[ivan]

I'm happy to announce the release of Freeside 1.3.0.

There aren't .debs just yet, but I'm working on them.

Freeside is an open-source billing and account administration package for 
ISPs.

You can download the new version, read the documentation, and play with a
web demo at .

New features include:

- Database transactions
- Web aging reports
- Export of BIND and Apache configuration files.
- Session monitor to track and limit usage on a time
  (hourly/"minutely") basis.  This can be used, with RADIUS, to keep track
  of NAS ports, and can also be used to implement hotel- or cafe- type 
  access, where the user must sign in on a webpage before being granted  
  access to the network.  In conjunction with the session server, prepaid
  cards can now be for an amount of time rather than money.

Enjoy!
