Guys,
this discussion faded away. Is it still hot but carried out somewhere
else?
Anyway, I am committed to put my business support system in the open
source. We use it both in projects at Royal Institue of Technology
(KTH), Stockholm, as well as commercially (
www.xtrafone.com). The BSS
handles order, customers, accounts, rating, billing (pre-paid),
customer My Pages, etc. The lot!
KTH use SER as its proxies wheras we use the Asterisk in
www.xtrafone.com. As long as there are CDRs placed in a MySql tables,
the BSS can pick that up and rate, charge.
I have also written a couple of How-To (install ser, mysql etc).
All this I'd like to add to the pot. I am all for to create a complete
package for a commercial or non-commercial VoIP operator that includes
a proxy, gateway and BSS. And also the docs describing best practices
(ser.cfg, logging, NAT traversal, etc). Just add marketing and
customers and you roll.
For the BSS I don't really know where to place the code. Beside the
ser? sourceforge? It is written in /bin/sh, awk, SQL and php (no,
nothing to compile!). Runs on any Linux, MacOSX and FreeBSD system.
Can we get this discussion thread going again and get
started putting
our stuff into a shared pool where we can get going to change the
world (I just could not hold back :-).
Guys, what we need to start sharing of interesting things we all have? I
think, now we can create simple ftp-storage with dedicated directories
for all of authors and simple html-index for that. Later we can create
some type of wiki-site or anything else, but now we can simply share
info. What are you think about this idea?
