News, Notes, & Miscellaneous Fun Stuff
- Brian still recovering, Tony just getting back from family vacation; FS team a bit behind :)
- Need help with IRC and ML - please answer any questions you can
- Get ready - we'll be taking registrations for ClueCon soon (Thanks to Gabe Gunderson!)
Featured Presentation
- Community scrum: we're all going discuss some of the mailing list items that have been lingering. There are dozens of questions on the ML that have had no comments at all. Let's put our heads together and get some of these answered and then documented on the wiki. A few things to discuss:
- kimc's question below
- Idea: create syntax highlighting mods/add-ons for FS log for common editors (Emacs, VIM, Notepad++, UltraEdit, Textmate, etc.)
- ML posts to review
- Call sent to group call terminates when group is busy instead of transferring
- Codec negotiation with carriers
- NAT issues - Outbound Call drops after ~30 seconds
- Problem getting TALK and NOTALK events

Janitorial Items
- All of the new stuff that I have mentioned in news & notes needs to have a documentation check. I believe that some of those items have been added to the wiki by the beneficiary of the feature in question, however it would be really awesome if we could have a few of you take 5 minutes each and pick an item and do the leg work. If you have questions please let me know.

Items Needing Discussion
kimc wonders about:
How to use the dialing of destination numbers to set/unset variables which set options in a dialplan.
Ex. dial 8201 for day mode, 8200 for night mode
Similar to the example in dialplan/default.xml for add-group/del-group
Stuff started but needs some community input

Suggestions For Future Meetings & Future To Dos
- Math: Sofia internals
- Eliot Gable: mod_ha_cluster
- What is mod_ha_cluster?
- In short: N+X (N Masters + X slaves) HA replacement for "Pacemaker + Corosync managed FS"
- What is planned for mod_ha_cluster?
- In short: manage interfaces, IPs, firewall rules, master/slave status; eventually, share registrations and call states without shared DB and do 'sofia recover' on failover
- When will it be available?
- In short: Master/slave, interface, IPs, and firewall management within the next couple of months (if I have the amount of time available that I expect to have)
- For additional details, or if you would like to beta test, be on the call
- What is mod_ha_cluster?
- Jeff Lenk: developing for FS in Windows environment
- Echo
- What/Why/Where
