Asterisk Soundfiles Submission Process v1.5 2009-09-01
jtodd@digium.com
The Asterisk project is looking for contributions of soundfiles to
expand the usefulness of Asterisk across as many languages as
possible.
However, Digium is not able to maintain more than a few basic language
sets and the project relies upon the community for the many additional
languages which may be added to the soundfile list. To this end, the
following criteria are to enable the administrative and technical
inclusion of soundfiles in multiple languages.
Criteria for language submission:
1) Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0
(http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/us/) for all
soundfiles, and the actual artist who performs the prompts must be the
one who approves (in writing) the CCBYSAv3 license. Print out the
license, have the artist sign, and fax to Digium (+1-256-428-6217
Attn: Contracts) or mail it to Digium (445 Jan Davis Dr Nw,
Huntsville, AL 35806, USA Attn: Contracts)
2) You must duplicate all existing sounds that are currently in the
SVN trunk version of core-sounds-en.txt - no partial libraries. If
you are submitting sounds for extra-sounds, a full duplicate set of
the English prompts is not necessary, and alternate words may be
added.
3) The artist who performed the original sounds must be available for
additional work at a "reasonable" market price, and contact data must
be provided with the sounds submission.
4) Soundfiles must be in ".wav" 48kHz 16-bit signed linear format -
Digium will do all conversions to various codecs.
5) A soundfile map must be included with all submissions, in the same
style as core-sounds-en.txt but for your specific language. This may
be derived from Step 6 in the "Process" section, below.
6) Periodically and infrequently, there may be additional words added
to the English "core-sounds" repository. At such time as those words
are added, you would be responsible for submitting those additional
sounds in your submitted language by the same artist who performed the
recordings for the primary sounds, and creating an issue on
issues.asterisk.org containing the new sounds.
7) If you duplicate the words/phrases in the current
core-sounds-en.txt file, this does NOT guarantee complete
functionality with your language. Notably, numbers and dates often
require additional work with code in various parts of Asterisk to
comply with specific language syntax issues. You are welcome to
create patches to fully support your language - see
issues.asterisk.org for more details of how to contribute code to
Asterisk.
8) If you wish to update a sound set, any updates must be created by
the same artist that created the base sound set.
Process:
Every time you submit sounds, even if partial sounds, you will need to
execute all of these steps. That includes #8 and #9 - each submission
requires a signed license from the actual artist, no matter how
trivial the file set.
1) Create your language soundfile archive as a directory. Put all
soundfiles into the directory.
2) Determine the two-digit ISO639-1 language code (en=english,
ru=russian, etc.) and replace the "xx" in other steps with this two
digit code.
3) Determine the most obvious nation in which the dialect of the
artist is appropriate, if any. Select the country code from the
ISO-3166-1 list. Replace "_YY" in the other steps with this two digit
code. This two-digit code should be upper-case.
4) Create a file called "CREDITS" and put in this file a short
free-form block of text that you wish to include for anyone who wants
to learn more about you or the artist who performed the sounds.
Please minimally include the name and contact information for the
artist as a URL and/or email address.
Example:
bash-3.2# more CREDITS
Recorded by:
Allison Smith (http://www.theivrvoice.com)
Financial Contributions by: Digium, Inc. (http://www.digium.com)
bash-3.2#
5) Create a file called "LICENSE" and include the license text (listed
below these instructions) which are the Creative Commons
Attribution-ShareAlike v3 license terms.
6) Ensure you have a .txt file that describes all of the soundfiles by
name and by textual description. UTF-8 is mandatory. See
"core-sounds-en.txt" as a template. Another option (possibly easier
and preferred) is to submit an OpenOffice ODS formatted spreadsheet
with three columns (Col 1: module name most associated with file, col 2:
filename in ASCII, col 3: text of soundfile in your localized language
- see doc/lang/*.ods for examples) and it will be converted during
import to UTF-8 format.
7) Use "tar" to create a single file of your sounds and the three text
files.
8) Create an account on http://issues.asterisk.org/ if you do not
already have one, and submit the file via that interface. In order to
eliminate confusion, you should also complete the license agreement on
that system, which is an electronic license agreement. You will
obtain an issue number from the issues.asterisk.org system - save this
number.
9) Have the artist (NOT YOU, UNLESS YOU ARE THE ARTIST) sign a copy of
the Creative Commons license and send it to Digium (see contact data,
above.) Have the artist WRITE THE ISSUE NUMBER from step 8 on the
Creative Commons license agreement. This is mandatory for acceptance.
10) Project staff will evaluate your sounds submission and communicate
with you via the issue maanger as to the progress and status of
inclusion. If your soundfiles are included, they will receive an
ordinal number according to the number of other archives in this
language/dialect group, a gender key, a freeform text description, the
codec for that file, and the version of Asterisk for which the files
were released. (Format for filenames suffix is:
languagecode[_territorycode[_gender[_variant]]] ) So your submission
may have an archive name that after processing looks like this:
"asterisk-core-sounds-en_US_female_allison-gsm-1.6.23" or
"asterisk-core-sounds-en_AU_male_alex-gsm-1.6.23"

THE WORK (AS DEFINED BELOW) IS PROVIDED UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS
CREATIVE COMMONS PUBLIC LICENSE ("CCPL" OR "LICENSE"). THE WORK IS
PROTECTED BY COPYRIGHT AND/OR OTHER APPLICABLE LAW. ANY USE OF THE
WORK OTHER THAN AS AUTHORIZED UNDER THIS LICENSE OR COPYRIGHT LAW
IS PROHIBITED.
BY EXERCISING ANY RIGHTS TO THE WORK PROVIDED HERE, YOU ACCEPT AND
AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF THIS LICENSE. TO THE EXTENT THIS
LICENSE MAY BE CONSIDERED TO BE A CONTRACT, THE LICENSOR GRANTS YOU
THE RIGHTS CONTAINED HERE IN CONSIDERATION OF YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF
SUCH TERMS AND CONDITIONS.
1. Definitions a. "Adaptation" means a work based upon the Work, or
upon the Work and other pre-existing works, such as a translation,
adaptation, derivative work, arrangement of music or other
alterations of a literary or artistic work, or phonogram or
performance and includes cinematographic adaptations or any other
form in which the Work may be recast, transformed, or adapted
including in any form recognizably derived from the original,
except that a work that constitutes a Collection will not be
considered an Adaptation for the purpose of this License. For the
avoidance of doubt, where the Work is a musical work, performance
or phonogram, the synchronization of the Work in timed-relation
with a moving image ("synching") will be considered an Adaptation
for the purpose of this License. b. "Collection" means a
collection of literary or artistic works, such as encyclopedias
and anthologies, or performances, phonograms or broadcasts, or
other works or subject matter other than works listed in Section
1(f) below, which, by reason of the selection and arrangement of
their contents, constitute intellectual creations, in which the
Work is included in its entirety in unmodified form along with one
or more other contributions, each constituting separate and
independent works in themselves, which together are assembled into
a collective whole. A work that constitutes a Collection will not
be considered an Adaptation (as defined above) for the purposes of
this License. c. "Distribute" means to make available to the
public the original and copies of the Work or Adaptation, as
appropriate, through sale or other transfer of ownership.
d. "Licensor" means the individual, individuals, entity or
entities that offer(s) the Work under the terms of this License.
e. "Original Author" means, in the case of a literary or artistic
work, the individual, individuals, entity or entities who created
the Work or if no individual or entity can be identified, the
publisher; and in addition (i) in the case of a performance the
actors, singers, musicians, dancers, and other persons who act,
sing, deliver, declaim, play in, interpret or otherwise perform
literary or artistic works or expressions of folklore; (ii) in the
case of a phonogram the producer being the person or legal entity
who first fixes the sounds of a performance or other sounds; and,
(iii) in the case of broadcasts, the organization that transmits
the broadcast. f. "Work" means the literary and/or artistic work
offered under the terms of this License including without
limitation any production in the literary, scientific and artistic
domain, whatever may be the mode or form of its expression
including digital form, such as a book, pamphlet and other
writing; a lecture, address, sermon or other work of the same
nature; a dramatic or dramatico-musical work; a choreographic work
or entertainment in dumb show; a musical composition with or
without words; a cinematographic work to which are assimilated
works expressed by a process analogous to cinematography; a work
of drawing, painting, architecture, sculpture, engraving or
lithography; a photographic work to which are assimilated works
expressed by a process analogous to photography; a work of applied
art; an illustration, map, plan, sketch or three-dimensional work
relative to geography, topography, architecture or science; a
performance; a broadcast; a phonogram; a compilation of data to
the extent it is protected as a copyrightable work; or a work
performed by a variety or circus performer to the extent it is not
otherwise considered a literary or artistic work. g. "You" means
an individual or entity exercising rights under this License who
has not previously violated the terms of this License with respect
to the Work, or who has received express permission from the
Licensor to exercise rights under this License despite a previous
violation. h. "Publicly Perform" means to perform public
recitations of the Work and to communicate to the public those
public recitations, by any means or process, including by wire or
wireless means or public digital performances; to make available
to the public Works in such a way that members of the public may
access these Works from a place and at a place individually chosen
by them; to perform the Work to the public by any means or process
and the communication to the public of the performances of the
Work, including by public digital performance; to broadcast and
rebroadcast the Work by any means including signs, sounds or
images. i. "Reproduce" means to make copies of the Work by any
means including without limitation by sound or visual recordings
and the right of fixation and reproducing fixations of the Work,
including storage of a protected performance or phonogram in
digital form or other electronic medium.
2. Fair Dealing Rights. Nothing in this License is intended to
reduce, limit, or restrict any uses free from copyright or rights
arising from limitations or exceptions that are provided for in
connection with the copyright protection under copyright law or
other applicable laws.
3. License Grant. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
License, Licensor hereby grants You a worldwide, royalty-free,
non-exclusive, perpetual (for the duration of the applicable
copyright) license to exercise the rights in the Work as stated
below: a. to Reproduce the Work, to incorporate the Work into one
or more Collections, and to Reproduce the Work as incorporated in
the Collections; b. to create and Reproduce Adaptations provided
that any such Adaptation, including any translation in any medium,
takes reasonable steps to clearly label, demarcate or otherwise
identify that changes were made to the original Work. For example,
a translation could be marked "The original work was translated
from English to Spanish," or a modification could indicate "The
original work has been modified."; c. to Distribute and Publicly
Perform the Work including as incorporated in Collections; and,
d. to Distribute and Publicly Perform Adaptations. e. For the
avoidance of doubt: i. Non-waivable Compulsory License Schemes. In
those jurisdictions in which the right to collect royalties through
any statutory or compulsory licensing scheme cannot be waived, the
Licensor reserves the exclusive right to collect such royalties for
any exercise by You of the rights granted under this License;
ii. Waivable Compulsory License Schemes. In those jurisdictions in
which the right to collect royalties through any statutory or
compulsory licensing scheme can be waived, the Licensor waives the
exclusive right to collect such royalties for any exercise by You
of the rights granted under this License; and, iii. Voluntary
License Schemes. The Licensor waives the right to collect
royalties, whether individually or, in the event that the Licensor
is a member of a collecting society that administers voluntary
licensing schemes, via that society, from any exercise by You of
the rights granted under this License.
The above rights may be exercised in all media and formats whether
now known or hereafter devised. The above rights include the right
to make such modifications as are technically necessary to exercise
the rights in other media and formats. Subject to Section 8(f), all
rights not expressly granted by Licensor are hereby reserved.
4. Restrictions. The license granted in Section 3 above is
expressly made subject to and limited by the following
restrictions: a. You may Distribute or Publicly Perform the Work
only under the terms of this License. You must include a copy of,
or the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) for, this License with
every copy of the Work You Distribute or Publicly Perform. You may
not offer or impose any terms on the Work that restrict the terms
of this License or the ability of the recipient of the Work to
exercise the rights granted to that recipient under the terms of
the License. You may not sublicense the Work. You must keep intact
all notices that refer to this License and to the disclaimer of
warranties with every copy of the Work You Distribute or Publicly
Perform. When You Distribute or Publicly Perform the Work, You may
not impose any effective technological measures on the Work that
restrict the ability of a recipient of the Work from You to
exercise the rights granted to that recipient under the terms of
the License. This Section 4(a) applies to the Work as incorporated
in a Collection, but this does not require the Collection apart
from the Work itself to be made subject to the terms of this
License. If You create a Collection, upon notice from any Licensor
You must, to the extent practicable, remove from the Collection any
credit as required by Section 4(b), as requested. If You create an
Adaptation, upon notice from any Licensor You must, to the extent
practicable, remove from the Adaptation any credit as required by
Section 4(b), as requested. b. If You Distribute, or Publicly
Perform the Work or any Adaptations or Collections, You must,
unless a request has been made pursuant to Section 4(a), keep
intact all copyright notices for the Work and provide, reasonable
to the medium or means You are utilizing: (i) the name of the
Original Author (or pseudonym, if applicable) if supplied, and/or
if the Original Author and/or Licensor designate another party or
parties (e.g., a sponsor institute, publishing entity, journal) for
attribution ("Attribution Parties") in Licensor's copyright notice,
terms of service or by other reasonable means, the name of such
party or parties; (ii) the title of the Work if supplied; (iii) to
the extent reasonably practicable, the URI, if any, that Licensor
specifies to be associated with the Work, unless such URI does not
refer to the copyright notice or licensing information for the
Work; and (iv) , consistent with Section 3(b), in the case of an
Adaptation, a credit identifying the use of the Work in the
Adaptation (e.g., "French translation of the Work by Original
Author," or "Screenplay based on original Work by Original
Author"). The credit required by this Section 4 (b) may be
implemented in any reasonable manner; provided, however, that in
the case of a Adaptation or Collection, at a minimum such credit
will appear, if a credit for all contributing authors of the
Adaptation or Collection appears, then as part of these credits and
in a manner at least as prominent as the credits for the other
contributing authors. For the avoidance of doubt, You may only use
the credit required by this Section for the purpose of attribution
in the manner set out above and, by exercising Your rights under
this License, You may not implicitly or explicitly assert or imply
any connection with, sponsorship or endorsement by the Original
Author, Licensor and/or Attribution Parties, as appropriate, of You
or Your use of the Work, without the separate, express prior
written permission of the Original Author, Licensor and/or
Attribution Parties. c. Except as otherwise agreed in writing by
the Licensor or as may be otherwise permitted by applicable law, if
You Reproduce, Distribute or Publicly Perform the Work either by
itself or as part of any Adaptations or Collections, You must not
distort, mutilate, modify or take other derogatory action in
relation to the Work which would be prejudicial to the Original
Author's honor or reputation. Licensor agrees that in those
jurisdictions (e.g. Japan), in which any exercise of the right
granted in Section 3(b) of this License (the right to make
Adaptations) would be deemed to be a distortion, mutilation,
modification or other derogatory action prejudicial to the Original
Author's honor and reputation, the Licensor will waive or not
assert, as appropriate, this Section, to the fullest extent
permitted by the applicable national law, to enable You to
reasonably exercise Your right under Section 3(b) of this License
(right to make Adaptations) but not otherwise.
5. Representations, Warranties and Disclaimer
UNLESS OTHERWISE MUTUALLY AGREED TO BY THE PARTIES IN WRITING,
LICENSOR OFFERS THE WORK AS-IS AND MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR
WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND CONCERNING THE WORK, EXPRESS, IMPLIED,
STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES
OF TITLE, MERCHANTIBILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE,
NONINFRINGEMENT, OR THE ABSENCE OF LATENT OR OTHER DEFECTS,
ACCURACY, OR THE PRESENCE OF ABSENCE OF ERRORS, WHETHER OR NOT
DISCOVERABLE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF
IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO SUCH EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
6. Limitation on Liability. EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED BY
APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL LICENSOR BE LIABLE TO YOU ON ANY
LEGAL THEORY FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE
OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THIS LICENSE OR THE USE OF THE
WORK, EVEN IF LICENSOR HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
DAMAGES.
7. Termination a. This License and the rights granted hereunder
will terminate automatically upon any breach by You of the terms
of this License. Individuals or entities who have received
Adaptations or Collections from You under this License, however,
will not have their licenses terminated provided such individuals
or entities remain in full compliance with those
licenses. Sections 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, and 8 will survive any
termination of this License. b. Subject to the above terms and
conditions, the license granted here is perpetual (for the
duration of the applicable copyright in the Work). Notwithstanding
the above, Licensor reserves the right to release the Work under
different license terms or to stop distributing the Work at any
time; provided, however that any such election will not serve to
withdraw this License (or any other license that has been, or is
required to be, granted under the terms of this License), and this
License will continue in full force and effect unless terminated
as stated above.
8. Miscellaneous a. Each time You Distribute or Publicly Perform
the Work or a Collection, the Licensor offers to the recipient a
license to the Work on the same terms and conditions as the
license granted to You under this License. b. Each time You
Distribute or Publicly Perform an Adaptation, Licensor offers to
the recipient a license to the original Work on the same terms and
conditions as the license granted to You under this License.
c. If any provision of this License is invalid or unenforceable
under applicable law, it shall not affect the validity or
enforceability of the remainder of the terms of this License, and
without further action by the parties to this agreement, such
provision shall be reformed to the minimum extent necessary to
make such provision valid and enforceable. d. No term or
provision of this License shall be deemed waived and no breach
consented to unless such waiver or consent shall be in writing and
signed by the party to be charged with such waiver or consent.
e. This License constitutes the entire agreement between the
parties with respect to the Work licensed here. There are no
understandings, agreements or representations with respect to the
Work not specified here. Licensor shall not be bound by any
additional provisions that may appear in any communication from
You. This License may not be modified without the mutual written
agreement of the Licensor and You. f. The rights granted under,
and the subject matter referenced, in this License were drafted
utilizing the terminology of the Berne Convention for the
Protection of Literary and Artistic Works (as amended on September
28, 1979), the Rome Convention of 1961, the WIPO Copyright Treaty
of 1996, the WIPO Performances and Phonograms Treaty of 1996 and
the Universal Copyright Convention (as revised on July 24,
1971). These rights and subject matter take effect in the relevant
jurisdiction in which the License terms are sought to be enforced
according to the corresponding provisions of the implementation of
those treaty provisions in the applicable national law. If the
standard suite of rights granted under applicable copyright law
includes additional rights not granted under this License, such
additional rights are deemed to be included in the License; this
License is not intended to restrict the license of any rights
under applicable law.
