Happy new week to all!<br><br>We have some interesting news items to
share. First off, we are happy to report that the Wyndham Hotel, where
ClueCon 2012 is being held, has a new owner and will become a Hyatt
property. As part of the transition, the Wyndham will be renamed in
June. The new name will be Hyatt Chicago Miracle Mile. The ownership
transfer and name change will not affect ClueCon attendees, and the
ClueCon <a href="http://www.cluecon.com/hotels?cc12-0507">website</a> will
continue to have the latest hotel information. Please feel free to call
the Wyndham and make your ClueCon hotel reservations at your earliest
convenience.<br>
<br>
Also in ClueCon news we'd like to let everyone know that we have two new
sponsors: Vitelity and OpenVox. We are pleased to welcome them both to
this year's event. Each will be giving a technical presentation this
year and we look forward to seeing them in person. Please visit our <a href="http://www.cluecon.com?cc12-0507">site</a> for registration information.<br>
<br>FreeSWITCH received a new feature last week: a much-improved group pickup implementation. The new pickup <a href="http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Misc._Dialplan_Tools_pickup?cc12-0507">dialplan</a> application
works in conjunction with the new "pickup" pseudo-channel. Together
these allow for simple yet elegant call pickup features to be added to
the dialplan. A number of FreeSWITCH community members are testing this
new feature, and soon there will be an example added to the "Vanilla"
dialplan.<br>
<br>This Wednesday, May 9, we will be welcoming FreeSWITCH Community
member Giovanni Maruzzelli to the community <a href="http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/FS_weekly_2012_05_09?cc12-0507">conference call</a>. He will be
discussing how to implement a GSM channel in FreeSWITCH using
mod_gsmopen and a GSM dongle. We invite everyone to join us this
Wednesday at 1PM Eastern, 10AM Pacific (UTC 1700) for a very interesting
discussion.<br>
<br>
Have a great week and we'll be in touch next Monday.<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Michael S Collins<div>ClueCon Team<br><div><a href="http://www.ClueCon.com?cc12-0507">www.ClueCon.com</a></div><div>877-7-4ACLUE</div></div>
