[Soc-coordination] Week 8

Week 8 status report

This week I finalized the IM component for the Jscommunicator and
pushed it to the im branch on GitHub.

I packaged bccontrib for Debian as it's one of the jitsi dependencies.
As a side project I am going through the list of Jitsi dependencies to
make Debian/Ubuntu packages so that as a result Jitsi will be easier
to package.

xTuple recently launched a web-based version of their xTuple ERP suite
(the traditional version is a Desktop client). We are proposing
integrating JSCommunicator into their product. This is an excellent
experiment to test jscommunicator's modularity. I've been in close
communication with Steven Hackbarth and Linda Nichols from xTuple. I
spent an unfortunately large amount of time setting up the development
environment, but I've already been able to add a SIP account extension
to the XM.User object. This would facilitate a phonebook functionality
on xTuple and the idea is to hyperlink the contact info to make a call
on jscommunicator. A lot of discussion is underway with regard to the
design of this new component.

On a different note, I organized my presentation for Monday's
conference on Open Source contribution hosted by Yehuda Korotkin.
