Welcome to the last week of June! Things quieted down a bit last week, but we still had some interesting items for your consideration. Darren Schreiber from the 2600hz<http://www.2600hz.com?cc12-0625>project joined us last week on our conference call <http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Weekly_Conference_Call?cc12-0625> to present "SIP 101" - a gentle introduction to the SIP protocol for those doing VoIP. It was a nice discussion and we plan to do a follow up, tentatively scheduled for July 18. The audio is available in the usual place<http://torrents.freeswitch.org/conf_call_2012-06-20.torrent?cc12-0625>and the slides are available here <http://wiki.freeswitch.org/files/SIP_101_Presentation.ppt?cc12-0625>. For this week's<http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/FS_weekly_2012_06_27?cc12-0625>conference call we are going to have an open discussion about topics of interest to our community members. Our ClueCon schedule <http://www.cluecon.com/schedule?cc12-0625> is now full! Please visit the schedule to see a list of speakers and talk titles.

We hope you're having a nice Monday today. The past week was a busy one both for the FreeSWITCH<http://www.freeswitch.org?cc12-0618>project and for ClueCon <http://www.cluecon.com?cc12-0618>. Last week's community conference call was a nice discussion about some of the things that will be happening at ClueCon this year. We also had a visit from Diana Cionoiu of the YATE <http://yate.null.ro/pmwiki?cc12-0618> project. This coming Wednesday we will have Darren Schreiber, co-author of both FreeSWITCH books and co-founder of the 2600hz project <http://www.2600hz.org?cc12-0618>, on our call to give his world-famous "SIP 101" presentation. We definitely look forward to that discussion. We also wanted to highlight an interesting blog post<http://blog.krisk.org/2012/06/everything-you-wish-you-didnt-need-to.html?cc…>by our friend and community member Kristian Kielhofner. Its provocative title is: "Everything you wish you didn't need to know about VoIP." Over the years Kristian has collected a lot of knowledge about interoperability - and lack thereof - between various VoIP devices and servers. Whether you're a VoIP novice or veteran we think you will appreciate seeing this knowledge written down for the benefit of all. In ClueCon news are happy to announce two training session and a birds of a feather (BOF) meetup for this year's event. Paid attendees of ClueCon will have their choice of FreeSWITCH or OpenSIPS training. The FreeSWITCH training will be conducted by the aforementioned Darren Schreiber. The OpenSIPS training will be conducted by none other than Bogdan-Andrei Iancu, lead developer of the OpenSIPS project. The training sessions will take place on Monday, August 6. On the evening of Wednesday, August 8 we will be having a VoIP security ("VoIPSec") meetup for those interested in discussing this subject with others who share an interest. Among those who will be present are Phil Zimmermann of PGP and ZRTP<http://zfone.com?cc12-0618>fame. Be sure to register right away so that you can get your extra chances to win. Anyone who registers before July 4th of this year will receive 10 entries in the great ClueCon giveaway. We have a lot of interesting items to give away this year, so stay tuned. And while you are at the ClueCon site to register <http://www.cluecon.com/register?cc12-0618>, but sure to review the schedule <http://www.cluecon.com/schedule?cc12-0618> as we've added a number of new speakers in the past week. See you in August! -- Michael S Collins ClueCon Team http://www.cluecon.com 877-7-4ACLUE cc12-0618

Happy Monday to you all! Last Wednesday we had a nice discussion on the weekly conference call<http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Weekly_Conference_Call#Past_Calls?cc12-0611>about mod_httapi <http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Mod_httapi?cc12-0611>. It turns out that there is a fair amount of interest in the great module but that there are some questions about how to handle certain scenarios, such as "session tracking." Thanks to Raymond Chandler for being available to answer a lot of those questions. We will be doing a followup discussion that focuses on Raymond's PHP examples for using mod_httapi. These examples do a good job of demonstrating the power and ease of HTTAPI. ClueCon <http://www.cluecon.com?cc12-0611> season is upon us and our list of speakers and sponsors continues to grow. Packt Publishing<http://packtpub.com?cc12-0611>is now on board as a media sponsor and we hope to have some nice items from them to give away at the conference. Keep checking the schedule<http://www.cluecon.com/schedule?cc12-0611>for updates as we are confirming new speakers each week. We are also happy to report that the Wyndham has completed its changeover and is officially known as the Hyatt Chicago Magnificent Mile<http://www.chicagomagnificentmile.hyatt.com?cc12-0611>. (As of this writing their web site is undergoing maintenance, so be patient.) We are excited to see what's in store at this revamped hotel and can't wait to see everyone there this August! -- Michael S Collins ClueCon Team http://www.cluecon.com?cc12-0611 877-7-4ACLUE

Happy June to all! We had a busy month of May but last Wednesday (May 30) we took a break from the formal presentations on the FreeSWITCH conference call and instead focused some time and energy on topics of general interest to our community. Feel free to download<http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Weekly_Conference_Call#Past_Calls?cc12-0604>last week's conference call recording and listen to Travis Cross and myself discuss the pros and cons of licensing for content other than source code, such as the wiki documentation and the sounds we've recorded over the years. Another topic of interest is the original FreeSWITCH book<http://www.packtpub.com/freeswitch-1-0-6-build-robust-high-performance-tele…>, a.k.a. the "bridge book" because of the cover photograph. Can you believe that this summer it will be two years since the book was released? The FreeSWITCH team and a number of interested community members have been discussing what a second edition would look like - what changes would be made, what new content could be added, etc. We have no definitive plans at the moment, so now is the time to talk about what you would like to see. Do you have an idea on how to make the second edition of the FreeSWITCH book even better? If so, please let us know. Perhaps by ClueCon 2013 we'll have a brand new book on the shelves! Speaking of ClueCon <http://www.cluecon.com?cc12-0604>, we would like to let everyone know that the plans for this year's event are coming along nicely. Our speaker <http://www.cluecon.com/speakers?cc12-0604> list is growing and the schedule is filling out. We still have a few openings, so please get your speaking proposals in to us right away. We are looking forward to seeing everyone again this August, so please register<http://www.cluecon.com/register?cc12-0604>now, that way we can make plans for ancillary events like the welcome reception. Thanks for being such a great community! Talk to you next week. -- Michael S Collins ClueCon Team http://www.cluecon.com 877-7-4ACLUE cc12-0604
