[Devel] Hi all !

[Elias Baixas]

Hello everybody!

today I came across this article 
http://www.voipnow.org/2007/04/74_open_source_.html
which I found quite interesting. Its a comparison of 74 open source VoIP 
projects. Somewhere I've read OSS has a chance (if it hasn't already) to 
take over the industry and lead the development, specially in VoIP.

I got surprised of how many OSS projects are there on VoIP, specially on 
SIP (when I started there was only VOVIDA/SER :P) and how many people 
are doing quite the same.

This is known to be a flaw (bug or feature??) in OSS: loosely-coupled 
coordination, so sometimes there's not enough communication between 
different developers, no cross-listing/project ideas, brainstormings, etc.

wouldnt it be great to have a meeting place for all the developers of 
OSS-VoIP ?

I know in a list with too many subscribers frequently the noise 
surpasses the signal (SNR down, bad thing), but core 
developers/architects of these initiatives should be more aware of each 
other. don't you think ? this made me think of the IRC meeting tomorrow, 
wouldn't it be nice to organize a similar thing for the several projects ?

best regards,
