New blog by Edvina: IPv6Friday.org
Edvina has started a new blog in order to guide people in the wild forest of IPv6 and inspire readers to spend 30 minutes every Friday to learn more about IPv6. The idea is not to write a new complete IPv6 guide or start a new encyclopedia. There are many existing web sites out there with lots of good information about IPv6. Edvina’s IPv6friday.org just wants to inspire readers to learn more and focus on a particular IPv6-related topic. The short article is followed by links to other sites where the reader can get deeper information and spend some time to explore the IPv6 universe.
The founder of Edvina, Olle E. Johansson, has written a blog entry on his personal blog to explain how this started and the ideas behind the new project. Olle says:
IPv6 is the future of the Internet. It’s required for the Internet to grow. It’s required for the Internet to be for everyone on the planet. It’s needed for true peer-to-peer applications. We do need it to stop spending time on NAT traversal in SIP and focus on more important issues – like how SIP can become competitive to Skype and FaceTime and the architecture and requirements for a global open Internet-based federation for realtime communication. 30 minutes a week isn’t too much of your valuable time. It’s an investment for the future that will help both yourself in your personal career and the organization your work for. See you next Friday!
Please join the ride, follow the flow and spend at least 30 minutes on IPv6 every Friday. Learn more, lab and join the discussion. In addition to the blog, there’s a Twitter account, Facebook page and a Google plus page
Edvina SIP Trainings in Argentina
At the 4K conference in Buenos Aires, Edvina’s Olle E. Johansson will run two trainings. It’s a unique opportunity to learn more about SIP and scalable networks with Kamailio and Asterisk from one of the leading developers and Open Source SIP solution architects!

Edvina participates in SIPit 29
Edvina will participate in SIPit in Monaco in October 2011. SIPit has been running for 15 years, testing the IETF SIP realtime communication framework. SIPit is a place for developers, both commercial and Open Source, to meet and test implementations of old and new features in the SIP standards.
Edvina will participate with the focus to test SIP security standards and IPv6 implementations. During previous SIPit events, we have built test servers, the TLS-test-o-matic and IPv6-test-o-matic, for automated tests. We have also been participating in the group tests, evaluating various test setups and improving upon them.
-“SIPit is the place to be for everyone that develops SIP products. During our first few SIPits, we found and fixed hundreds of bugs in the Asterisk SIP implementation.” says Olle E. Johansson, CEO of Edvina and Asterisk developer. “In 2010, Edvina organized SIPit 26 in Stockholm Sweden together with Tandberg and .SE. Interoperability has been a key word in our business since 1987 and is now more important than ever, as we see proprietary solutions that lock customers into single-vendor solutions, like Skype and Microsoft Lync.”
Interoperability doesn’t happen by itself. Customers need to require it and developers need to test it. SIPit is important for everyone in the VoIP business. It improves products and standards, highlighting issues that need to be fixed in IETF’s documents as well as implementation errors. SIPit is organized twice a year by the SIP Forum in partnership with different hosts. SIPit in Monaco is hosted by ETSI.
Edvina SIP Masterclass in Oxford, UK – November 2011
Learn from the master: The Edvina SIP Masterclass is a five day training that covers how to build scalable solutions with Asterisk, Kamailio and the SIP protocol, will be held November 7-11 outside Oxford in the UK. It’s a unique opportunity to spend one week with Olle E. Johansson – it’s the second public class this year in Europe! Olle is an engaging teacher that has years of experience in both teaching and developing large scale platforms for all kinds of environments, from carriers to universities, call centers and enterprises. He has over 20 years of experience in TCP/IP networking with Unix systems and have been teaching in a wide range of topics – from basic networking to PKI/TLS solutions, LDAP and during the last years, VoIP technologies and applications.
Understand the SIP architecture: The class gives a overview of the SIP core protocol in order to understand the IETF realtime communication framework and be able to build scalable multi-application platforms with SIP. Understanding the protocol is important not only for your architecture, but also for debugging and testing new functions.
Covers the major applications: The five day Edvina SIP Masterclass is focused on Kamailio and Asterisk in a SIP network. The class assumes that you have knowledge about Asterisk compared with the Asterisk MasterClass. It is the perfect training for those who want to explore how to set up Asterisk in a SIP infrastructure with SIP proxies, SIP-aware firewalls and SIP services. While this class covers both Asterisk and Kamailio, it starts from previous knowledge in Asterisk and no knowledge about Kamailio. During the class, you get an introduction to the Kamailio SIP proxy and the basic operation of this advanced carrier class scalable SIP server.

New presentation by OEJ: Watch out – the Sip world is changing!
Last week Olle talked at the Vopi2day conference in Madrid, organized by Avanzada7. The talk, named “Watch out!” covers new areas developed in SIP, but not implemented in many devices or servers out there. Solutions for NAT traversal, PSTN trunk registration and new work with the real time web is covered, along with a small update to the list of 10 bullets to remember when implementing a new SIP platform.
The talk is now published on Slideshare and can be viewed online.
