:: Marc Blanchet participates to the Asterisk Developer Conference
2007-05-22

Asterisk developers meet once a year to discuss the future of Asterisk, its internals and to make progress. Because he has co-ported Asterisk to IPv6, Marc Blanchet was invited to participate to this Asterisk Developers Conference. About 30 people showed up and worked towards the week. The conference was held at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta. Discussions with the core developer team on how to integrate the IPv6 code into the trunk were held.


:: Internet Engineering Steering Group(IESG) scribe volunteer
2007-04-19

Marc Blanchet has volunteered to take narrative minutes of the Internet Engineering Steering Group(IESG) meetings. IESG is the management body of the Internet Engineering Task Force. IESG scribing is a modest contribution to the IETF volunteer-based organization and helps Blanchet understand how the IESG works.


:: Marc Blanchet is introduced as a new source code committer for Asterisk
2007-03-09

Doing the IPv6 port of Asterisk, Marc Blanchet has privileges to commit changes to branches of the Asterisk source code. This enables the Asterisk community to review and use the code that makes Asterisk IP version independent, supporting both IPv4 and IPv6. Because of the major changes on the source code of Asterisk, the contribution will be first handled with a branch and then further discussions on folding it back to the main code tree (trunk) will happen later.


:: Asterisk with IPv6: Seamless and Ubiquitous VoIP

:: Worldwide Interoperability on VoIP using IPv6
2007-03-07

The IPv6 Forum, along with Viagenie, Stealth Communications and CounterPath Solutions, today announced that a series of successful VoIP calls over IPv6 has been carried out, marking an important advancement in worldwide interoperability among VoIP technologies using IPv6.

The VoIP calls, connecting Viagenie in Canada and Consulintel in Spain, were conducted using the CounterPath eyeBeam(tm) softphone through the IPv6 version of Asterisk,(r) ported by Viagenie, a consulting and R&D firm in advanced IP networking. The Asterisk-IPv6 server was located on Stealth Communications Voice Peering Fabric (VPF) network.

Asterisk is the most popular and extensible open source telephone system in the world, offering flexibility, functionality and features not available in advanced, high-end (high-cost) proprietary business systems. Asterisk is a complete IP PBX (private branch exchange) for businesses, and can be downloaded for free.

"Asterisk-IPv6 shows the power of VoIPv6 by avoiding all issues regarding NAT traversal when using IPv4. The presence of NAT for VoIPv4 results in users issues, such as non-connecting calls, one-way audio, non-working DTMF. Asterisk-IPv6 solves all these issues and also brings, together with IPv6, true IP mobility, security and autoconfiguration of VoIPv6 phones", states Marc Blanchet, President of Viagenie.
