OnSIP is attending ClueCon 2013, the open source telephony and VoIP developer’s conference founded in 2005 by the FreeSWITCH core developer team. This year, OnSIP’s CTO John Riordan is giving a presentation on “Geographically Distributed SIP Applications With OnSIP.” The conference is scheduled for August 6 - 8 at the Hyatt Chicago Magnificent Mile hotel, and luminaries from across the VoIP world will be in attendance.
FreeSWITCH itself was inaugurated at the first ClueCon during a large discussion between several leaders in the open source community who wanted to improve the state of existing Internet Telephony options. FreeSWITCH is an open source communications software for the creation of voice and messaging products. Libfreeswith, its core library, is able to be embedded into other projects, and can be used as a stand-alone application.
The motto of ClueCon is “a conference for developers, by developers.” The list of speakers attests to ClueCon's devotion to developers. Ali Pey, Anthony Minessale II, and Dan Christian Bogos are all giving presentations on topics ranging from "Diving into WebRTC Media Streams" to "Overcoming Security Challenges of IP Communications by Using SIP Endpoints."
John’s presentation will consider the challenges of designing and implementing standard PBX services, such as busy lamp field, in a distributed manner on the OnSIP architecture. The presentation will also examine the problem of supporting contemporary internet standards like WebRTC on a distributed system. Overall, the presentation will highlight the unique technical challenges facing OnSIP, and discuss how businesses are using the OnSIP platform to supplement their own service offerings.
Several members of the OnSIP team plan on attending the conference. "I'm excited to go to ClueCon for the first time this year," said OnSIP Lead Developer Will Mitchell. "The lineup of talks promises some great discussions on modern telephony and new, interesting ways to use FreeSWITCH, OpenSIPS, and other open source building blocks in VoIP."
