Submitted by Daniel.Pocock on Thu, 22/10/2015 - 22:39

I've started syndicating some SIP-related blogs at planet.sip5060.net (English) and planet.sip5060.net/es (Spanish).

If anybody would like to have their blog added or suggest other blogs that deserve recognition, please email me. If a blog is not entirely dedicated to SIP, it is better to use a tag or category with a dedicated RSS feed URL for SIP articles.
