We had another great year at ClueCon in Chicago! It was my third time, earning me a ClueCon "Hat Trick" pin. By comparison, Will Mitchell, OnSIP Engineer, picked up his first year "Rookie" pin. I asked the ClueCon Rookie about his first experience at the conference.

"ClueCon was a lot of fun," said Will. "While the days were chock full of dev talks, I think my favorite part was meeting and hanging out with all of the people I only knew before from mailing lists and GitHub comments. It's a really great crowd."

John Riordan, CTO and ClueCon Hat Trick, also enjoyed his time at ClueCon. "Once again ClueCon proved to be an excellent festival of ideas and characters," he described. "A particular highlight for me was once again the evening VoIPSec BoF with Phil Zimmermann, Travis Cross and Alan Johnston."

For those who are interested, you can listen to John's talk "Geographically Distributed SIP Applications With OnSIP" below.


Abstract: OnSIP is a geographically distributed hosted SIP service for businesses. The service supports standards based SIP user agents, provides free SIP to SIP calling, and offers SIP applications like voicemail and conferencing as well as inbound/outbound PSTN access. The service is distributed across multiple data centers and built on open source software including OpenSIPS, FreeSWITCH, and Cassandra. This presentation will discuss the challenges of designing and implementing traditional PBX services, such as busy lamp field, and supporting contemporary internet standards like WebRTC in a distributed manner on the OnSIP architecture. It will also highlight how businesses are successfully leveraging the OnSIP platform to enhance their own service offerings.

Looking forward to next year!
