First SIP.edu Implementors Workshop
16 June 2004, 8:00am - 4:00pm
University of Pennsylvania
Philadelphia, PA

http://voip.internet2.edu/SIP.edu/200406-workshop/

Overview

The Internet2 SIP.edu project seeks to promote the convergence of
voice and email identities, grow SIP-reachability within Internet2,
and build a community of Internet2 schools that are developing and
deploying campus SIP services.

In one year, the project has provided SIP reachability to nearly
100,000 users at four universities, attracted corporate sponsorship,
and published a "cookbook" to lower the implementation hurdle for
others. There is significant interest in SIP.edu among Internet2
universities and corporate members and a number of new implementations
underway.

The goals for this one-day workshop are to:

* Build a knowledge base for those that will follow in deploying
SIP.edu
* Investigate areas that the SIP.edu community should pursue,
individually or as a group, in order to leverage SIP as a core
technology for new campus communications services and
collaboration applications
* Expand the leadership group for SIP.edu
* Chart a course for scaling up campus and inter-campus SIP
service deployment.

* Ben Teitelbaum, Internet2

Who Should Attend?

This workshop is primarily for campus data and telecommunications
technologists who have implemented the initial SIP.edu architecture or
who are in the course of implementing it. Internet2 corporate members
partnering with campuses on SIP.edu implementations are also
welcome. Attendance may be limited by available space and to keep the
workshop interactive.

Registration

Registration is via SIP voice. Please send email to
,
providing a SIP URI and times when you can be
reached. One of the workshop organizers will call you to confirm your
registration. Note that this registration process does not require
that your university already be SIP.edu-enabled; any SIP URI will
suffice. For example, you could become an FreeWorld Dialup user and
send us your FWD URI (e.g.
sip:).


Lodging and Travel

On campus lodging is available at either the Sheraton, 36th & Chestnut
streets or The Inn at Penn, 35th & Walnut streets. Both are a short
walk to the workshop location. The Inn at Penn is much nicer but also
more expensive than the Sheraton. We are trying to confirm block room
rates at The Inn at Penn.
