This Friday we will be joined by Aaron Clauson, the creator of SIP
Sorcery. SIP Sorcery started out life known as My SIP Switch. Aaron
describes SIP Sorcery  as a SIP service aggregator. It’s a free service
that acts on SIP signaling to allow users to combine various SIP
service providers and devices without requiring a PBX.

Aaron’s experience running the service is especially interesting. He
started the service using a physical host, then as the service grew he
migrated to Amazon’s EC2. It’s operation on EC2 was less than ideal so
he migrated to Microsoft’s Azure cloud-based hosting service. My
understanding is that he’s in the process of making another migration
as well as launching a new service called the SIP Sorcery Switchboard.

Oh yes, SIP Sorcery is an open source project. While most users rely
upon the host that Aaron provides, the source code is readily available
and some user run their own local instance of the software.

Aaron will be joining the call from his home in Tasmania, which means
that it’ll be in the middle of his night! Yep, he’s a guy who writes
code at night. He should fit right in with the VUC regulars.

A word of warning: the web GUI for SIP Sorcery is implemented in
Microsoft's Silverlight, which requires the installation of a library
on Windows, and may have limited support on other platforms. While the
choice of Silverlight will be a good question for Aaron, I'd very much
like to avoid a focus on cross-platform concerns, and stay with issues
relating to the SIP logic service itself.
