Thanks to a sponsor, iptel.org SIP services have been enhanced by a "SIP Looking Glass" feature. Looking glass, like in the IP world, allows observers to watch characteristics of traffic in a particular domain. The equipment provided courtesy of iptego features, among others, comprehensible statistics of SIP user agents using the iptel.org site. Warning: the equipment is still in BETA stage.

• These election rules were established by consensus on the following mailing lists: serusers@iptel.org,serdev@iptel.org,sems@iptel.org,semsdev@iptel.org.

• The principles were put forward on the lists, discussed, and modified with a summary posted to the lists for approval on April 28 by Greger V. Teigre.
• This page documents the agreed rules and was edited by Greger V. Teigre on May 17, adding semsdev@iptel.org as a voting list.

Daily generated snapshots of SERi, SERwebi, SERctli, and RTPproxyi are now available on the FTP server. New tarballs are generated every day, but only if there were changes since the last tarball (because generating tarballs that would be same is waste of space).

• Daily snapshots of SER are in http://ftp.iptel.org/pub/ser/daily-snapshots
• Daily snapshots of SERctl are in http://ftp.iptel.org/pub/serctl/daily-snapshots
• Daily snapshots of SERweb are in http://ftp.iptel.org/pub/serweb/daily-snapshots
• Daily snapshots of RTPproxy are in http://ftp.iptel.org/pub/rtpproxy/daily-snapshots

The bug tracker at iptel.org projects was updated yesterday. We are now running Jira 3.6.5 which will be hopefully more stable than the previous version. We are using the bug tracker to track bugs in SERi, SERWebi, serctli, and SEMSi projects. You can find the bug tracker at http://tracker.iptel.org

Have you wondered how does the iptel.org site powered by Drupal work ? What is behind the scenes and how are pages stored in the system and rendered to the user ? Don't panic ! Rather check this new page which describes it all.

There is a new page describing how to apply for a certificate from iptel.org certificate authority. Our certificate authority is used to secure the pages on the web server and in the future it will be also used to secure the SIP service we are running. Anyone can apply for a client certificate which can be later imported into the SIP user agent. You can also download the certificate of the CA from that page.

We have now migrated all accounts from ONsip.org to iptel.org. This means that you can use your old ONsip.org login credentials (username/email and password) for logging in at iptel.org.
If you want to delete your account migrated here, please send an email to webmaster@iptel.org and your account will be deleted.

By reading the info below, you should be able to quickly find the content you are looking for, as well as add new content.

Structure

The iptel.org site is built around the following structural elements:

1. The main navigation bar with shortcuts to the open-source projects, news, downloads, the SIP resources, and the SIP service
2. The top-right shortcuts for searching, quickly navigating through the sitemap, and see recent activity
3. The right-hand menu which has one fixed part (your account/personal links) and a dynamic part that changes according to which section you are in.  This means that when you are in the SERi project section, the links in the right-hand menu will all be related to SER
4. Pages of content (called nodes). Each page has a page type (node type) that controls what type of information has to be entered, as well as one or more keywords

The iptel.org site now supports news system where users can submit news and they will be automaticaly displayed in the News section and sorted according to the date of submission. There can be several categories of news posts, for example news entries related to SERi, SEMSi, and so on.

To create a news post create a new page and assign one term from the News vocabulary to it. You can select one or more terms from that vocabulary. Assigning correct terms from the vocabulary is important, if you do not select at least one term from News vocabulary then your post will not be displayed on the new

You may have entered this site by accident or by following the link announced as the new homepage for SEMSi... Either way, it's probably not difficult to guess that this will become the new official site for more than the SEMS project.

We are currently building up the website by adding and organizing old and new content. Quite a lot will not be visible to you. This site will at a later point be officially announced on serusers@iptel.org and serdev@iptel.org.

Until then, stay tuned!
