Thank you for the opportunity to present Open Source Telephony on this SFD.
It was the first time we have setup such a stall. It was personally a good and
enriching experience to interact with the community at Chennai and students /
visitors who visited the stalls.
I look forward to participating more actively in the open source community
activities of Chennai in the near future.
We have a list of the visitors who requested more information and expressed
interest in learning more about software freedom in general and FOSS projects
specifically. We will be contacting them with further information.
The primary content of our presentation was derived from www.voip-info.org , a
great wiki for all things telephony. Our demonstration was on Asterisk
(www.asterisk.org) and the Vicidial Call Center Suite (www.vicidial.org).
We showed
a hardware telephone gateway, Audiocodes 24 port analog gw (not connected
really)
an end-point Grandstream IP phone (not connected)
a software phone, Twinkle, running on the Ubuntu desktop and
IAX2client, a mobile (IP phone) client app on android,
?
along with live demonstrations of calls over Asterisk to an ASR(automatic
speech recognition) and DTMF enabled IVR.
The presentations were done on Ubuntu Server running gnome and OO. The demo was
with Twinkle a SIP phone registered to a remote asterisk server on a public IP,
conectivity over Tata Photon. The photon was working ok in the first half, but
often dropped to zero signal in the afternoon session or had too high latency /
jitters for VoIP demo, so there were no live demos in the second half. Since we
were forewarned about power outages and we were not using a laptop, we had a
one hour UPS backup, which served us well.
I would like to put together an introduction to FOSS and an invitation to join
ILUGC for the above mentioned list of visitors. Of course, we will add open
source telephony links. Please let me have any information that you have
ready-made.
Thanks again,
Regards,
