<br>
Greetings,<br>
<br>
As a developer and consultant who spends considerable time on projects<br>
involving the fusion of Asterisk and products derived from the SER<br>
ecosystem (OpenSER, Kamailio, OpenSIPS, the new SIP-Router), I have<br>
found that there is a great volume of interest in this topic on the<br>
mailing lists associated with all communities involved, but a<br>
comparative lack of focus that results in duplicated effort and lack of<br>
specialised response.<br>
<br>
This is mainly due, I think, to the fact that detailed Asterisk<br>
experience - while common - is not a prerequisite for working with the<br>
SER products, while for Asterisk people SER can often be a next step in<br>
scalability and VoIP service delivery platform enhancement that they are<br>
just getting into. And so on. There's pollution in the respective<br>
discursive spaces; a lot of Asterisk people posting to the SER lists<br>
ask a lot of Asterisk-specific questions in addition to any they may<br>
have about SER which can be construed as potentially off-topic by some<br>
members, and the opposite is true on the Asterisk lists when detailed,<br>
involved discussion about SER occurs.<br>
<br>
We need to capture that discussion that exists at the overlap and is<br>
specifically concerned with making these two systems work together,<br>
requiring somewhat detailed and esoteric understanding of both and a<br>
community of user support and knowledge that focuses on both of these<br>
conceptual and product universes.<br>
<br>
Toward that end, I am hosting a new mailing list with this succinct<br>
purpose, if slightly unwieldy name, and encourage all interested to<br>
join. It is called 'SER-Asterisk-Interwork' and can be accessed for<br>
subscription here:<br>

<br>
You can post to the list at:<br>
<br>
<a href="mailto:ser-asterisk-interwork@lists.evaristesys.com">ser-asterisk-interwork@lists.evaristesys.com</a><br>
<br>
It's the same GNU Mailman stuff you are already used to.<br>
<br>
While it could be argued that this cross-product discussion is valuable<br>
to retain in both communities, I think there is considerable benefit to<br>
creating a specialised mailing list that focuses specifically on this<br>
integration path and the unique interoperation and configuration issues<br>
it creates. I think it would be good to get some of this discussion off<br>
of the SER and Asterisk-specific mailing lists where it has somewhat<br>
marginal relevance at times and refocus it. If you agree and are<br>
interested in this topic, you are invited to join the list.<br>
<br>
One last note: The SER/OpenSER community has been in a state of flux<br>
recently, with OpenSER undergoing a name change to Kamailio and<br>
subsequently seeing a fork. The incumbent Kamailio project is now<br>
in the process of merging with the original SER project. The choice of<br>
nomenclature for list is not meant to imply an endorsement of or<br>
affinity for the IPTel SER project per se. It is just that right now it<br>
serves the aim of terseness to use a common denominator, to refer to<br>
this family of projects as the "SER ecosystem." Whether you are a SER,<br>
OpenSER, Kamailio, or OpenSIPS user, you are part of that "SER<br>
ecosystem." That is why the list is named what it is.<br>
<br>
Thank you,<br>
<br>
