Greetings! First item in the news today is a happy report from long-time FreeSWITCH user Henry Gavin. Henry runs a company in the U.K. called SureVoIP<http://www.surevoip.co.uk>. He is pleased to report that "thanks to FreeSWITCH and FusionPBX" his company is once again a finalist for the annual ITSPA awards<http://www.surevoip.co.uk/blog/2013/02/25/surevoip-and-the-surevoip-api-fin…>. Congrats to Henry for leveraging FreeSWITCH in a successful business endeavor. Another annual event is the Google Summer of Code<http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/homepage/google/gsoc2013>(GSoC). FreeSWITCH will once again apply as a mentoring organization. Please start thinking of project ideas that we can include in our organization's application. Applications will be submitted starting March 18 and no later than March 29. Ken Rice and I will be coordinating this process. Stay tuned for more details. On last week's conference call<http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/FS_weekly_2013_02_20>we did a nice tour of the CudaTel <http://www.cudatel.com> Communication Server. In the coming weeks we will have more presentations for GUI front-ends that community members have built. On this week's conference call<http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/FS_weekly_2013_02_27>we will have Ken Rice give us an update on his new project: SwitchPi <http://switchpi.org>. If you like DIY projects then you'll appreciate what Ken has done with integrating the Raspberry Pi with FreeSWITCH and some other items to create something new. We look forward to seeing it in action. Don't forget about the FreeSWITCH HA discussion on Tuesday evening at 8PM EST. Last week's discussion was very fruitful. Eliot Gable gave us all a lot of information about the different approaches that he can take for building mod_ha_cluster <http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Mod_ha_cluster>. We look forward to his report on the potential of using OpenMPI<http://www.open-mpi.org/>. For those who can't make it to the HA discussion please join weekly conference call on Wednesday where we will have a brief recap of the HA call. In ClueCon <http://www.cluecon.com>news we have uploaded two new videos: * What's new in sipXecs 4.6 <http://youtu.be/mz14UqXRQDU> - Douglas Hubler * Challenges and Opportunities in Open Source VoIP<http://youtu.be/QnDYE-DfjgU>- Travis Cross Stay tuned for more ClueCon 2012 videos and ClueCon 2013 announcements. Have a great week and we look forward to talking to you on Wednesday. -- Michael S Collins ClueCon Team http://www.cluecon.com 877-7-4ACLUE

Greetings all! Last week was rather interesting. Initially we had planned on doing a CudaTel <http://www.cudatel.com> demonstration on the weekly conference call. However, interest in Eliot Gable's mod_ha_cluster<http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Mod_ha_cluster>and the accompanying conversation<http://lists.freeswitch.org/pipermail/freeswitch-users/2013-February/092187…>was particularly intense. That being the case, on last week's conference call <http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/FS_weekly_2013_02_13> we spent most of the time talking about HA in general and how we could build a FreeSWITCH HA system. We also invited everyone who is interested in the subject to call in to the public FreeSWITCH conference at 8PM EST on Tuesday evening (Feb 19) for the first HA conference call. (Eliot won't join until about 8:15PM.) If you have a vested interest in HA for FreeSWITCH then please join the conference call. For this week's conference call<http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/FS_weekly_2013_02_20>we will ask one of the participants on the Tuesday night call to give us a brief overview of the HA discussion. After that I will be doing a demonstration of the CudaTel to show off what the FreeSWITCH team has been working so hard to develop these past few years. We hope you enjoy it! For the DIY crowd you may enjoy this site <http://switchpi.org/> that Ken Rice set up. It's dedicated to doing cool things with FreeSWITCH and the Raspberry Pi <http://www.raspberrypi.org/>. Check it out! In ClueCon <http://www.cluecon.com>2013 news we are getting things all set. In the coming days we will be making announcements about new sponsors, registration and hotel information, and a call for speakers for this year's event. Don't forget to plan for a full 3 days, August 6th - 8th. Also, we tend to do a lot of fun stuff on the Monday before ClueCon, so it's a good idea to arrive on or before Monday August 7. Hope you have a great week! -- Michael S Collins ClueCon Team http://www.cluecon.com 877-7-4ACLUE

Hello all! News and notes are back after a brief hiatus last week. We (the FreeSWITCH team) were in Milwaukee last week and we appreciated being fed by the community. Thank you! We love this community. It seems the big news <http://freeswitch.org/node/435> last week came courtesy of our friend Kristian Kielhofner <http://blog.krisk.org/>. As reported in this blog post<http://blog.krisk.org/2013/02/packets-of-death.html>, Kristian ran into a rather unusual set of circumstances that resulted in Packets of Death for some Intel NICs. In addition to being Slashdotted<http://tech.slashdot.org/story/13/02/06/2024251/intel-gigabit-nic-packet-of…>, Kristian's research ended up being featured in a Wired.com story<http://www.wired.com/wiredenterprise/2013/02/packet-of-death/>. Don't forget to read Kristian's update post<http://blog.krisk.org/2013/02/packets-of-death-update.html> that includes information about Intel's response to the whole situation. This week things will start to return to normal with our weekly conference call <http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/FS_weekly_2013_02_13>. We are going to spend a few weeks talking about various FreeSWITCH GUIs, starting with the CudaTel <http://www.cudatel.com>. For the past four years or so we've been building the CudaTel Communication Server and we'd like to show off some of the cool things it can do. We have two other news items. The first one has to do with mod_ha_cluster<http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Mod_ha_cluster>, which our very own Eliot Gable is building. Financial support for this open-source module will be done through FreeSWITCH Solutions<http://www.freeswitchsolutions.com/>. An interesting discussion can be found in this email thread<http://lists.freeswitch.org/pipermail/freeswitch-users/2013-February/092095…>. The other item comes from Ken Rice who has some updates on Jira and ZRTP. Check out his mailing list post<http://lists.freeswitch.org/pipermail/freeswitch-users/2013-February/092155…>for more information. Have a great week and we'll talk to you on Wednesday. -- Michael S Collins Twitter: @mercutioviz http://www.FreeSWITCH.org http://www.ClueCon.com http://www.OSTAG.org
