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.
It's a very good stuff to share, I think.
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?
