+Title:Debian.org enabled for SIP federation and WebRTC, XMPP/Jabber to follow

+Status: draft
+
+Debian System Administrators working in conjunction with [pkg-voip team](http://pkg-voip.alioth.debian.org/)
+member Daniel Pocock have set up a SIP proxy and TURN server for debian.org.
+
+Specifically, the SIP proxy provides a way for Debian Developers to use
+their Debian email ID as a SIP address for making calls to other project
+members and exchanging calls with any other domain that is enabled for
+SIP.  The repro SIP proxy from reSIProcate has been chosen for this project.
+
+The TURN server provides a mechanism for users of SIP or XMPP (Jabber)
+to relay audio and video streams through a public IP address when
+necessary, eliminating many of the quality issues that arise when NAT
+devices block the media streams in one or both directions.
+
+The service allows the users to connect directly with the SIP device or
+softphone of their choosing, including many of those packaged in Debian
+such as Jitsi and Empathy or third party solutions like Lumicall or
+CSipSimple on Android.  The SIP proxy also includes a [WebRTC interface](https://rtc.debian.org),
+allowing Debian Developers to immediately try WebRTC voice and video 
+calls without installing or configuring any software of their own other 
+than a web browser.
+
+A second stage of the project involves providing an XMPP (Jabber) server
+with similar capabilities for federated communications between
+debian.org users and other domains.  Further details will be announced
+in the weeks ahead.
+
+It is a significant feature of the Debian Project philosophy that we can
+operate the entire project using free software, specifically, using
+software available in Debian packages running on our own infrastructure
+and without a dependency on third party cloud solutions.These new
+services for project members fulfill those expectations. It is
+particularly relevant for situations where real-time communication
+(voice or video) collaboration takes place with third parties such as
+applicants for Google Summer of Code, Outreach Program for Women,
+sponsors, media and other free software projects.
+
+Project specific details and a user guide are available now on the
+Debian Wiki at
+http://wiki.debian.org/UnifiedCommunications/DebianDevelopers
