FreeSWITCH and Asterisk at UTOSC
UPDATED to allow comments [not that anyone cares] :)
It looks like Corey Edwards and I will be leading a discussion on FreeSWITCH and Asterisk at a “Birds of a Feather” presentation this Thursday at UTOSC.
Here’s the presentation abstract we submitted:
VoIP: FreeSWITCH and Asterisk
FreeSWITCH and Asterisk users will be gathering with all those interested in learning more about Open Source Telephony. We’ll do some group discussion, Q&A and generally mingle. If there is time and sufficient interest, we can share some things we’ve done with FreeSWITCH. Come and share your hacks!
Likely topics include:
- Why FreeSWITCH?
- Why Asterisk?
- How do Asterisk, FreeSWITCH and other Open Source PBX/media switches compare?
- What features do they each currently support?
- What are the short comings of each platform?
- What is the state of development for each project?
- What does each community need?
- Where are they being used? And for what?
- Common deployment practices, tips and tricks.
Everyone is welcome, from newbs to 1337 hax0r5!
Whether you’re interested in enabling voice in your application, setting up a call center, or just getting rid of your current (clunky | old | dusty | stinky | beige) proprietary phone system; this will be an excellent primer on the open source options that are available.
And for anyone who’d like to see open source telephony in action, I’ll also be prepared to showcase some of the the FreeSWITCH and Asterisk-based custom telephony applications our team at Izeni has developed for a number of Utah clients.
There will be lots of smart people there to answer your questions, so if you’re in Utah and you’re interested in learning more about open source telephony (or if you just want hangout and talk shop) you should sign up and come check us out! (Thursday only passes are available for just $10!)
