[Cialug] Asterisk Training

Thu Nov 29 12:14:19 CST 2007

I think that Matthew's idea of a hackfest for asterisk would be a fantastic idea.  I know a couple of other folks that would be interested in attending this type of event.  We should schedule a day event some sat. in jan/feb to do this.  We can use the Dice offices for a location/internet access, I may be able to get some grub, I'll need to check on that one though.  We can support around 25-30 folks, I wouldn't expect that many to turn out.

Jan is scheduled as an Office day (OpenOffice, KOffice, Abiword and other officey tools)

Feb is scheduled as a Legal Issues day (GPL2, GPL3, licensing, governance, etc).

Personally, if we override a topic, I'd rather override Office.
However, I recognize that most people do not share my interest in intellectual property issues, so if anyone feels strongly, please let me know.

If a significant number of people tell me that asterisk is cooler than office apps, and no one steps up to say that office apps are the ultimate in geeky discussion topics, I'll change the planned meeting.

Of course, sharing over views of these topics is also welcome.

I think that this would be a fine topic for an upcoming LUG discussion.
 Jan/Feb maybe?

I'd bet that between a few of us, there's enough experience to share.

I was just enumerating the things that we use asterisk for and I'd bet it might be interesting for some to know how we did them:

75 extensions
35 call queues
12 conferences
46 phone lines (2 PRIs)
overhead paging
door access phone WITH door unlock
Trunking between two internal PBXes (corp and call center) Time Conditions agents with and without zip tones inbound faxing to pdf outbound faxing using hylafax and windows print driver ring groups follow me
