AstriDevCon 2025 July¶

Sangoma invites developers who are interested in the future of Asterisk to join us at AstriDevCon.

Date: July 30, 2025

Event day schedule¶

AstriDevCon is a mix of open and focused discussion all on topics within the realm of Asterisk development, primarily regarding current concerns that Asterisk faces and how to improve Asterisk for the future.

Event started at 10:00 AM Eastern.

Event ended at 12:00 PM Eastern.

Kickoff¶

J. Colp: - Discussion of new ARI features, focused on websocket development.

Near Future Plans¶

Performance improvements
New TaskProcessor options (Josh)

Regulatory & Technical Topics¶

Will we get Real Time Text support? (Henning)
Stir Shaken across the EU only works within a national boundary. Caller ID is suppressed when moving across borders Reference
Use of AI in development discussion.
Blockchain plug-in for Kamailio?

Deprecation Discussion¶

What should be deprecated from the current code base?
- Nothing currently on the list...
- Possible options:
  - res_xmpp
  - H323
  - res_snmp
Add an option to just build core modules
Add an experimental Support level

WebRTC & Infrastructure¶

WebRTC demand is increasing and standardizing around Chromium
Containerization is still limited to test/building, not used in core infrastructure

Statistics & Monitoring¶

Statistics monitoring – what should be added?
- RTPEngine has Control for pulling statistics in their project
- Automatic alerts based on triggers/thresholds (particularly for taskprocessors)?
- RTCP reporting in ARI?
- ARI for back-end statistics could be useful
- Potential for a further statistics module
Prometheus module generates a new metric for each channel/bridge, causes huge load on database Reference
- A statistics route on /asterisk, should this be selective on what is requested or all?

PR & Issues¶

ACN PR request for update and review PR #285
- Incoming may work but outgoing does not
- Breaks T.38 testsuite tests
- At least one customer encountered crashes, workaround applied (not a real fix)
- Would have to be merged by September to make the next LTS

Codecs¶

Any plan for mobile codecs in Asterisk?
- Not currently
- AMR-WB, EVS
Are there any patent concerns?
- Yes, particularly with EVS
- Would likely need to license and make it a commercial binary
