Okay, It's time to get things going on the SIP Express Bundle. I'm stepping in to take the reins as project manager on this one so we can get things rolling.
First please take a look at the project page: http://www.iptel.org/bundle/project
Step 1 here, I'd like to verify a headcount of people working on this project as of now. This doesn't mean people can't join up later, and it certainly doesn't mean that I'm going to expect you to put more time into this than you can commit, but we need to know where we stand.
Currently, on the project list, we have:
* Jai: testing and installation work * ram: testing * SIP: testing (and now project management) * Jiri: debian, oob * Mike: testing and documentation * Stefan: SEMS
Are the people listed here still available to do these particular tasks? Has anyone else volunteered time/resources on this project that hasn't been listed here? If so, shoot me an email, and I'll add you to the list. We need a people inventory so we know what roles we're missing.
For instance, I've heard a few people mention that they'd be willing to donate a server to the cause so we have somewhere to test things upon. I don't have those people listed, but that's certainly an area we're going to need. Also, we've had varying reports of which direction we're going -- ISO or Virtual Machine. For now, I think we should concentrate on an ISO as that's going to be the most attractive to people for building a ready-to-go hardware appliance, and it will probably be a little less of a headache for creating a drop-in installation. However, I also think a virtual machine should be on the list in the future, and once we get an ISO ready, creating a virtual machine from that configuration should be relatively straightforward.
However, on the list of people, I don't see anyone down for scripting an install -- a kickstart disc or what have you. That's another area we're lacking. If anyone has experience in that area, shoot me an email and I'll add you to the list.
We need to focus. For this reason, we'll start small and work from there. Do NOT expect this first SER bundle to have every feature you could imagine in it, and don't get discouraged if your favourite feature is missing. As the project grows, we'll most certainly be adding capabilities and allowing a tailored install. But for now, the goal should be to get things running and working first in a simple format and then add on from there.
Having a bundle like this is perhaps the biggest step we can take toward bringing SER to the masses and finally breaking down some of those barriers that have kept people out of the project.
I'm looking forward to working with all of you on this project!

Jai,
Glad to hear you're still on board!
The specs detail a RHEL/CentOS 5 install, but a kickstart is a kickstart. For the most part, all the experience you have in FC will apply, since FC is the test bed for the later RHEL/CentOS releases. Directory structure and package structure will be identical with only modifications in package availability (FC has the bleeding edge stuff available, RHEL/CentOS does not).
Would love to have Arun join the team if he's interested.

That's great, Neil! It's was Mike who made the server offer, but I'll let him pick up on that.
I think also the timing is very good. On serdev, the focus has increased on releasing SER 2.0. Serweb is synchronized with ser 2.0, and I'm sure Karel on serweb and Stefan on sems will support the bundling effort. Rtpproxy is of course also aligned. As for getting from installation to running servers, there's the ser.cfg hurdle... ser-oob.cfg is unfortunately only available for Debian. The config file in the config buildsystem is fairly complete in functionality, but I would like to see it better aligned with ser-oob.cfg. However, I'm not sure how far that will go before the 2.0 release, but if you want to use the buildsystem, we can use the requirements from your effort to improve it. I'll help out there. g-)

Greger, Neil, all I have a ser-oob.cfg deployed on FC8 and FC7 with MYSQL Distrib 5.1.22-rc (Community Edition). I have it all tested except for speeddial. ..mike..
To all: My offer to load and support two (or more) machines and the associated bandwidth still stands. We need to establish agreement about the OS version and the 3rd party stuff to be loaded.
Since I already have ser 2.x testing on multiple FC8/FC7 platforms, I now favor FC* over CentOS.

great!
Currently, on the project list, we have:
* Jai: testing and installation work * ram: testing * SIP: testing (and now project management) * Jiri: debian, oob * Mike: testing and documentation * Stefan: SEMS
I am still here and would like to contribute on this side.
I only am not really experienced in packaging for anything else than debian, as this is what we (and almost all other SER developers I know) are using. recently I created debian packages for SEMS which make the installation of a media server for conferenceing, voicemail and announcements a 2-minute thing. If there is someone with some experience in centos/rhel who would "port" the packages it would be great.

Hi Neil,
thanks a lot for taking intitiative.
We have good progress with our parts -- OOB script seems to be doing find, so does the OOB debian package. Pavel (cc) is preparing ai1 debian package (all-in-one) which is really all-containing, but this suffers at the moment from "best-effort" mode. Anyhow -- folks are invited to give those a try and provide feedback.
I'm not 100% sure if this is of help given the high level of desire for RH, but if folks are willing to consider debian too (as I would advocate), this may be a good starting base.

Okay, It's time to get things going on the SIP Express Bundle. I'm stepping in to take the reins as project manager on this one so we can get things rolling.
First please take a look at the project page: http://www.iptel.org/bundle/project
Step 1 here, I'd like to verify a headcount of people working on this project as of now. This doesn't mean people can't join up later, and it certainly doesn't mean that I'm going to expect you to put more time into this than you can commit, but we need to know where we stand.
Currently, on the project list, we have:
- Jai: testing and installation work
- ram: testing
- SIP: testing (and now project management)
- Jiri: debian, oob
- Mike: testing and documentation
- Stefan: SEMS
Are the people listed here still available to do these particular tasks? Has anyone else volunteered time/resources on this project that hasn't been listed here? If so, shoot me an email, and I'll add you to the list. We need a people inventory so we know what roles we're missing.
For instance, I've heard a few people mention that they'd be willing to donate a server to the cause so we have somewhere to test things upon. I don't have those people listed, but that's certainly an area we're going to need. Also, we've had varying reports of which direction we're going -- ISO or Virtual Machine. For now, I think we should concentrate on an ISO as that's going to be the most attractive to people for building a ready-to-go hardware appliance, and it will probably be a little less of a headache for creating a drop-in installation. However, I also think a virtual machine should be on the list in the future, and once we get an ISO ready, creating a virtual machine from that configuration should be relatively straightforward.
However, on the list of people, I don't see anyone down for scripting an install -- a kickstart disc or what have you. That's another area we're lacking. If anyone has experience in that area, shoot me an email and I'll add you to the list.
We need to focus. For this reason, we'll start small and work from there. Do NOT expect this first SER bundle to have every feature you could imagine in it, and don't get discouraged if your favourite feature is missing. As the project grows, we'll most certainly be adding capabilities and allowing a tailored install. But for now, the goal should be to get things running and working first in a simple format and then add on from there.
Having a bundle like this is perhaps the biggest step we can take toward bringing SER to the masses and finally breaking down some of those barriers that have kept people out of the project.
I'm looking forward to working with all of you on this project!

I have searched ftp.iptel.org but haven't found any of those debian packages mentioned. Where do I find them to try out?

ai1 appears not to be committed yet, sorry for a premature announcment. Pavel (cc) may know better when it will appear there.
