Edvina and Avanzada 7 offers grants for SIP Masterclass in Malaga
The next Edvina SIP Masterclass featuring Kamailio and SIP will take place the first week of July in Malaga, Spain. One week of labs, lessons and interaction with other people working with realtime communication will be a boost to your career, and give you insights into how you build scalable infrastructure platforms for SIP communication.
It’s a lot of fun and a great learning experience for everyone. But not everyone that needs it can afford participating, which is why we are offering a SIP Masterclass Grant programme this year.
Since there are hard times with a high rate of unemployment in Southern Europe, Edvina and Avanzada 7 has decided to open up a grant for a free seat in the class. To apply for this, you have to be unemployed and have previous experience with realtime communication – using Asterisk or FreeSwitch or maybe even OpenSER or Kamailio. Edvina and Avanzada 7 will make the decision about who gets the opportunity to participate for free. You will have to pay travel and your stay, we will give you a no-cost participation in this class.
– “Getting involved in Open Source changed my life about ten years ago.” says Olle E. Johansson, teacher and the CEO of Edvina. “I used my last resources to participate in a voice over IP conference in the US. There I met Steve Sokol and Mark Spencer. Together we built a lot of activities around Asterisk – the Astricon conference, the trainings and quite a lot of code during the years. With Open Source you get contacts all over the world and new opportunities both locally and globally. I hope that offering a free training seat can change the life of someone currently out of work.”
Details:
- Apply by writing a document about yourself and your experiences. Motivate why you want the free seat.
- You have to be unemployed and live in the EU area
- Write the document in Spanish or English
- Send it to sales@avanzada7.es latest June 15th, 2013
- We will make our decision June 20th and let you know

After the class, you will not only know how to operate Kamailio – you will also have a lot of knowledge about how the SIP standard works, what to expect from devices and how to troubleshoot your realtime network.
If you’ve used a SIP PBX – this is the next step!
This class is for users of Asterisk and FreeSwitch that wants to learn how to build larger, scalable and open SIP networks with Kamailio – the Open Source SIP server. The class interactively teaches you SIP and Kamailio, building a platform step by step.

The hidden secret of TCP/IP – and how it affects your PBX
Olle E. Johansson, founder of Edvina, delivered a talk called “The Hidden Secret of TCP/IP – and How it affects your PBX” at the Voip2day + Elastixworld 2012 conference in Madrid, Sept 25th. The talk describes the background for the SIP2012 project and what needs to change in order to get back on track with realtime communications.
The presentation was uploaded to Slideshare and quickly got over 38.000 views, taking it to the top of the week list on Slideshare.net and got many comments, referrals and tweets. A video of the talk will be uploaded to the Voip2day.net site in a few weeks time. Voip2day + Elastixworld was a European Voip event that got over 1.000 visitors during three days, with a very interesting exhibition. Avanzada7, an Edvina partner in the Open Unified Alliance, has organized Voip2day in Madrid for many years.
– “I’m very proud of the reaction by the community – it shows me that Interoperability is still a hot and important issue. Hopefully the SIP2012 project will be able to raise the bar and take SIP away from the old PBX model and move it into the world of Open Unified Communication” says Olle.
Many people asked “What can we do?“. The answer is partly in the presentation – base your realtime multimedia architecture on a modern view of communication, instead of a 50 year old PBX model. Chat, presence, video and other applications, like desktop-sharing, needs to be part of the architecture. Require vendors to implement more than the 10 year old SIP 2.0 specification – follow the SIP2012 project and write better requirements when purchasing SIP products and services. Finally, make sure that your vendors participate in the SIPit interoperability test events with all their SIP products. It’s at SIPit vendors meet to test their products and improve the interoperability as well as the standards.
