Ideas on Hackfest

Developer Setup in less than 10 minutes

Coordinator: Douglas
Summary: Get development environment setup quickly and reduce setup mistakes.

Description:
This idea was sparked because Douglas and George will be coming to hackfest w/o their workstations but instead laptops. Instead of not participating in hackfest, the day can be spent optimizing the steps to building a workstation. Once the goal is met, they can participate in other projects.

This project is particularly important going forward because 4.6 exposes more plugin APIs then ever before. Lowering the barrier to assembling a build system is crucial to extending sipXecs and therefore adoption of sipXecs..

Goals:

• System dependencies installed
• Full source tree compiled
• RPMs built for all distributions
• Eclipse installed with setup instructions (Eclipse is preferred IDE for Java apps)
• Easy to follow instructions.

Non-Goals:

• Not creating a "wrapper script" for system setup, but leverage standard tools and checks
• Not creating a virtual machine for setup, virtual machines get out of date fast and pain to maintain.

Integrate homer, a sip stack trace utility into sipXecs

Coordinator: ? (Douglas added idea but may not have time to work in it)
Summary: Embed Homer in sipXecs to capture message call flow

Description:
Whether you're a newbie or veteran SIP engineer, when there's a problem getting a call through the system, you need to see the call flow to all components. sipXsipViewer is a nice utility to see the call flow, but it can be cumbersome to collect the logs. Homer offers web based sip call flow complete with db query interface.

Goals:

• Find active or past calls and see visual of call flow.
• Interface should be accessible from sipXconfig admin UI
• Optional install, e.g. not a required install for systems that do not want the overhead.
