Sweet! I love OpenVBX and wish Twilio would spend more time developing it. I think with the addition of Queue, SIP, and some other features OpenVBX could go toe-to-toe with any PBX on the market.

Hi, OpenVBX project lead here.

I've only formally been on the project for a couple months but I'd love to spend more time on it too. One of the things slowing me down is finding out exactly what the community uses, needs, etc and then working to make that happen.

A few things high on my (personal) agenda are: formal support for (launched yesterday), better support for Queue, internationalization, and some infrastructure improvements around upgrades, plugins, etc.

Feel free to drop me an email (check my profile) and we can chat. :)

The project is based on OpenVBX (big fans here!). We added a few modules, such as call queueing, call cost tracking (incoming, outgoing), the ability to export call flows to files, import/export of those files, SMS polls, automated phone call flow initiation, in-browser call flow testing, as well as Stripe integration to charge for more credits, then top-up the tenant account for more SMS and call credits. A different theme is also applied. Many things can be abstracted further and improved, feel free to take from it what you wish :)

After a quick recursive diff, it looks like you're a few versions behind OpenVBX master. Have you considered rebasing your changes off of that?

There are a number of fixes, improvements, and features that have come into play recently.

Hi Keith, thanks for taking a look at this, and thanks for working on OpenVBX, amazing project! Yes it's been a while since touching this code (~6mo-1yr) but once I have some more free time I'd like to bring it up to date with the current OpenVBX version and post some screenshots as well.

I did not know SIP was in the works. That's very cool.

I've had an OpenVBX running for at least a year, but I haven't actually logged into it in months. Haven't needed to; the calls just come in. Back when I was configuring it, there were a number of things I thought could've been more intuitive. I'll have to go log in and make a list.

same here, I haven't touched our OpenVBX installation in more than a year
