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 [...]
Right time, place and skill sets.
Looking for work has actually been kinda fun. I get the feeling it has something to do with looking at the right time, being in the right place and having the right skill sets.
I’ve known that Utah was a hot-spot for tech and I assumed it was a great place for Open Source hackers. [...]
OpenSuse 11
To all my OpenSuse friends:
In the past, I’ve made fun of your distro while you where not around.
I’ve poked fun at your package management.
I’ve installed over OpenSuse with other distros.
I’ve blown away partitions reserved for OpenSuse.
I’ve ignored your releases.
But today, that all changes. Today, I give it a fair shake.
I’ll let you know what [...]
Changes to the UTOSP
I shortened the page load times on the Utah Open Source Planet by bringing the number of posts down from 60 to 40.
One year of blathering.
A year ago, I gave wordpress a spin and started sharing with the world some of the many things that interest me. This tends to be stuff about Open Source/Free software. The cool thing about Open Source software is that it seems to have universal appeal. This map shows typical geographic locations [...]
Asterisk 1.4.0 released.
I’m happy to learn that Asterisk 1.4 is out.
More Xen Network Drawings
While working on some Xen stuff, I’ve found that a drawing is about the easiest way to document some things.
I’m going to be doing some drawings of custom Xen networks, but until then, here are a few drawings of default Xen networks to serve as a point of reference.
This first one just shows how a [...]
Homeless Hula needs Gooooood home.
You know, now that Novell has stopped developing Hula, Google should adopt it. A successful Hula would be a kick in the teeth to Microsoft and a great way to gain favor with the Open Source crowd. A few months of effort to get to Hula to a “1.0″, and Google would get [...]
Thoughts about Conary, Red Hat, Debain, distros and eating utensils.
I’ve been checking out rPath and Conary. I know rPath has ties to Red Hat, but let’s forget that for now. The technology is very, very cool. From what I can tell, it has serious advantages over rpm and yum|apt|up2date combo.
Besides local package management, it makes it easy to fork the distro. [...]
An Asterisk GUI and a Distro too!
The new version of Asterisk (1.4) is getting a GUI. I’ve known that for a while. I didn’t know, however, that Digium has wrapped the whole thing up as a Distro based on what looks like Fedora Core or RHEL.
From the announcement:
Asterisk® can now be easily configured with a graphical interface. The new site, AsteriskNOW.org, [...]
