SIPfoundry

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

SIPfoundry is a not for profit open source community. Its mission is to promote and advance Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) - related Open Source projects. Through SIPfoundry the users, developers, and distributors of SIP based products can collectively support each other and accelerate the growth and adoption of SIP.

Founded in March 2004, SIPfoundry established close ties with the SIP Forum as well as the IETF. SIPfoundry actively promotes the standardization of SIP, interoperability of SIP products and solution across the industry through the SIP Forum Test Framework (SFTF), as well as reference SIP implementations of key technology such as the reSIProcate SIP stack.

SIPfoundry is also the place where the development of sipX - The Open Source SIP PBX for Linux, takes place. This project aims at commoditizing the PBX functionality by offering a fully featured, standards compliant, and easy to use SIP IP PBX for free as an open source solution. SIPfoundry would like SIP to become part of the Internet the same way HTTP, SMTP, and XML became ubiquitous and drove rapid adoption of new services across the Internet.
