Hi Anthony, FreeSWITCH list members. :)

1) Anthony, is it you who's in charge of this mail list & group?

2) Starting June 2008 I've been putting together a global Free SW, HW &
Culture group, BerkeleyTIP, & GlobalTIP, which meets via VOIP globally.
:)  It's purpose is educational, productive & social. TIP = Talks,
Installfest & Project/Programming Party.  I do all this in my small
"spare/free" time as a contribution to the communit(ies). {Thanks for
all the SW! :) }

The meetings are on the 1st Saturday & 3rd Sunday of each month, from
12N-3PM Pacific usa UTC-8hr time.

We are currently looking at moving from Asterisk to freeswitch on our
voip server box.

I'm writing to invite you all to join with the global BTIP community & 
attend online.  Join #berkeleytip on irc.freenode.net, & we'll help you
get on our VOIP conference.  [I'm sure you all could probably help us
way more than we could help you. ;)  ]  We also encourage all groups
(such as the freeswitch community) to hold a simultaneous meeting, &
join together with us all online.

I know you already have a friday voip conference, iirc.  If all free sw
groups had a simultaneous meeting to BerkeleyTIP, it would be like a
global meeting/conference - everyone would know that at that time they
could meet all their friends & community members online on voip
conferences, from all the free sw projects in the world.


3) May I send to this mailing list the monthly BTIPGlobal announcement? 
This month's announcement is included right below.

Best Wishes,  John Re
