== 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 [http://www.opentelecoms.org/federated-voip-quick-start-howto the Federated VoIP quick start HOWTO] for details.

VoIP Special Interest Group

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.

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.

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.

Rejected Packages

Packagers/Reviewers/People interested

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
