[edit] VoIP Special Interest Group

[edit] Mission

To package as many Voice over IP applications as possible for Fedora. To that end, members of this SIG will assist in packaging VoIP applications and make reviewing VoIP-related packages our priority.

[edit] Process

Want to suggest a VoIP application or library? Just add it to the Applications/Libraries of Interest list. Working on packaging a VoIP application or library, or need a review for your VoIP-related package? Just add it to the Applications/Libraries Being Packaged list. Interested in joining the SIG? Just add your WikiName to the list.

[edit] Federating VoIP and real-time communications with open standards

You can help build a world of free communications based on secure, open standards by deploying SIP and XMPP on your Fedora and Red Hat servers. See the Federated VoIP quick start HOWTO for details.

[edit] Applications/Libraries of Interest

Asterisk-Addons
Asterisk-Sounds
Call Control - a prepaid application that can be used together with OpenSIPS call_control module and CDRTool rating engine to limit the duration of SIP sessions based on a prepaid balance. It can also be used to limit the duration of any session to a predefined maximum value without debiting a balance.
CDRTool - A set of utilities for working with call detail records
Druid - an open source web-based unified communications platform (based on Asterisk)
FreeSWITCH - an open source telephony platform.
gnugk - H.323 gatekeeper
- This may require importing OpenH323 from the old Fedora package into Fedora Package Collection because Fedora dropped OpenH323 once GnomeMeeting/Ekiga switched to Opal.
MSRPRelay - it helps in NAT traversal of media sessions between endpoints located behind NAT.
SIP chatserver - an open source conference bridge that supports MSRP chat sessions.
minisip - SIP softphone
OpenSBC - hybrid SIP proxy and B2BUA
OpenSIPStack - implementation of the Session Initiation Protocol
QjSimple - cross-platform SIP Client, is based on the pjsip SIP stack and the Qt GUI toolkit.
QuteCom (former WengoPhone) - SIP compliant VoIP client
SFLphone - the open-source enterprise-class SIP/IAX2 softphone
SIP SIMPLE client - a Python software library that allows for easy development of Internet communications end-points based on SIP and related protocols for voice, rich presence, session based instant messaging (IM), file transfers and desktop sharing.
sipXecs - a SIP Unified Communications solution for your enterprise.
Yate - Yet Another Telephony Engine
Yxa - transaction stateful SIP stack and a set of SIP server applications
GreenJ - GreenJ is an open source Voice-over-IP phone software using pjsip and Qt
~~Homer conferencing - Homer is a free cross-platform SIP softphone, which also supports video conferencing.~~ It can't be include in Fedora repository because it use ffmpeg. A review request is open on RPMFusion repository.
Jitsi - an audio/video and chat communicator that supports protocols such as SIP, XMPP/Jabber, AIM/ICQ, Windows Live, Yahoo! and many other useful features.

[edit] Packages for review

HylaFAX - is a enterprise-strength fax server supporting Class 1 and 2 fax modems on UNIX systems.
Mediaproxy - far-end NAT traversal solution for SER/OpenSER
- Initial attempt to package it was made, but review request was closed due to lack of activity
opal - Open Phone Abstraction Library (merge review).
reSIProcate - reSIProcate SIP stack, repro SIP proxy, reTurn ICE/STUN/TURN server, sipdialer (click to call)
srtp - Secure Real-Time Transport Protocol (SRTP) Library

[edit] Orphaned Packages Needing Maintainers

None, currently

[edit] Rejected Packages

MySTUN - No response from reporter
zaptel-kmod - kernel modules not allowed

[edit] Packagers/Reviewers/People interested

[edit] General Issues

* Legal status of iLBC prevents it from inclusion into Fedora, so you should check that your application doesn't use it before submitting it to Fedora/EPEL.

Now iLBC can be included in Fedora: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=728302#c26

A new review request for WebRTC, that include iLBC codec, should be open nearly. A first package and spec file can be found here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=728302#c41
