[Stephen Kingham] Hands on SER workshop at APAN meeting in Cairns Australia

[Ben Teitelbaum <>]

VoIPers,

I am forwarding the following note from Stephen Kingham.  In
Indianapolis we discussed doing something similar in the US, only not
just for SER, but for several SIP platforms simultaneously.  Can we
muster the wherewithal to pull this off?  

As far as cost goes, I would guess that interest is high enough that
we could charge a small fee to attend and recoup most costs.

Hi Ben

Firstly please vet this message for distribution within Internet2 as you
see fit.

As I mentioned in Hawaii we are going to take up the suggestion at the
Internet2 meeting to hold a "hands on workshop to build SER based SIP
servers" at the APAN meeting (www.apan.net) being help with the Questnet
meeting (http://www.questnet.net.au/Conferences.html) on the first week
of July in Cairns Australia.

I have lined up Aaron Solomon to lend a hand with his experience with
SER. Jiri has agreed to lend a hand remotely, by way of reviewing the
material. Without asking I have had lots of offers from Australian
Universities (who are now madly building SER systems) to provide assistance.

I would like to liaise with Internet2's work in the same area. I know
the objectives will be slightly different; as I understand it you are
looking at a bake off and we are looking at a tutorial to kick start SIP
capability into Australia and Asia.

So this is an initial heads up to say we are committed and would like to
liaise with Internet2 and visa versa. I will be publishing a set of web
pages to present to workshop participants, and another set to
co-ordinate people contributing resources to make the workshop happen.
The pages will contain detailed course notes and build information for
the Unix Operating Systems and SER installs so that the participants who
provide there own platform all have the same build. I think it is in
the content of these pages that assistance from the Internet2 community
will be most useful.

I expect we will have material to contribute to the cookbook and
generate lots of interest in the SIP.edu initiative.

Also Cairns being close to The Great Barrier Reef, red deserts, and
rainforests, is quite a nice place to visit and international visitors
are welcome just in case anyone was interested.

Regards

Stephen
