[FreeSWITCH Community] FreeSWITCH Weekly News and Notes

Greetings! We are back after a brief hiatus. Our friend and colleague Brian West took some much-deserved time off last week so the rest of us were a bit busier than usual. Brian does an amazing amount of work on FreeSWITCH, CudaTel, and ClueCon, so we're definitely glad he's back to work! On last week's conference call<http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/FS_weekly_2013_03_20>we talked about Debian packaging with a little VoIP security and ZRTP thrown in for good measure. Interestingly, a number of people stayed on the call until 6pm EST! You are welcome to stay in the public conference room for as long as you like. This week<http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/FS_weekly_2013_03_27>we have Mark Crane scheduled to give us an update on FusionPBX. It's been about 12 months since we last heard from him. We are looking forward to seeing the improvements that have been added in the past year. We are also gearing up for ClueCon 2013 <http://www.cluecon.com> so save the date: August 6-8, 2013. If you have any questions about being a speaker, sponsor, or attendee then by all means contact us at this email address. Remember that WebRTC is a big topic in the news right now and we are looking for folks to talk about WebRTC in their open source telephony projects and solutions. Have a great week and we'll talk to you again in April! -- Michael S Collins ClueCon Team http://www.cluecon.com 877-7-4ACLUE

[FreeSWITCH Community] FreeSWITCH Weekly News and Notes

Hello folks! News and Notes is back after a hiatus last week. The important news from the past week is that of the recent releases of both FreeSWITCH version 1.2.6 <http://freeswitch.org/node/439> and version 1.2.7. As Ken Rice mentioned in his announcement<http://lists.freeswitch.org/pipermail/freeswitch-users/2013-March/093229.ht…>, Murphy's Law <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murphy%27s_law> struck again. Quite literally within minutes of tagging and releasing version 1.2.6 the team discovered some serious issues and very quickly released version 1.2.7. Needless-to-say, if you somehow ended up on 1.2.6 then please immediately move to 1.2.7. Last week on the community conference call<http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/FS_weekly_2013_03_06>we reviewed some of the important aspects of ZRTP <http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/ZRTP> vs. SRTP<http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/SRTP>. It is easy to setup ZRTP, so we encourage you to do so. The more people we have using it the better our implementation will be. Also, it will be easier to encourage hardware vendors to include ZRTP when they realize just how pervasive it is. On this week's call<http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/FS_weekly_2013_03_13>we are having long-time telephony OSS programmer Areski join us to highlight the improvements in Newfies Dialer<http://www.newfies-dialer.org/>. A lot has changed in the year since we last heard from him. We look forward to hearing more. In ClueCon news we have uploaded more videos from 2012: * Seven Du - Building a Command and Dispatch System<http://youtu.be/FsSenee8Fn8> * Chad Phillips - Fun With VoIP <http://youtu.be/cZSRkkbf1D0> Stay tuned for more information on ClueCon 2013 - it's coming up fast. In the meantime, have a great week! -- Michael S Collins ClueCon Team http://www.cluecon.com 877-7-4ACLUE
