= 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.

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
