Hello Friends, We are looking forward to a busy but good week of activity. Last week was busy as well. On last week's conference call<http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/FS_weekly_2013_04_24>we had an engineer from JiraSoft <http://www.jerasoft.net/products/vcs/index.html> join us to answer some questions about the newly released VCS 2.4.3. We are happy to have this new version as part of the FreeSWITCH ecosystem<http://freeswitch.org/node/447>. This week <http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/FS_weekly_2013_05_01> we welcome Omar from OrecX <http://www.orecx.com/>. OrecX creates commercial and open source telephony recording solutions. We look forward to learning more about how we can use OrecX with FreeSWITCH. One other bit of good news: All of the content for the new FreeSWITCH book<http://www.packtpub.com/freeswitch-1-2/book>has been submitted to the publishers. We are doing a bit of editing on one of the chapters but otherwise we are basically done. We anticipate a June release. Take care and have another fantastic week! -- Michael S Collins ClueCon Team http://www.cluecon.com 877-7-4ACLUE

A belated welcome to the week of April 22! News and notes is a day late because I spent all day yesterday working on the new FreeSWITCH book <http://www.packtpub.com/freeswitch-1-2/book>. Good news - we have submitted all the content! It's now just a matter of getting all the edits and reviews done. We're a little more than halfway through that process. We'll update you as more news becomes available. Last week we had a conference call that<http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/FS_weekly_2013_04_17>lasted quite a while. Dave Kompel showed us some tricks with using MS Visual Studio 2012 to build FreeSWITCH applications. That discussion dovetailed into a more general discussion about some of the other things Dave has been doing with FreeSWITCH under Windows. In the weeks and months ahead, Dave will be doing some more Windows-only discussions outside of the main weekly conference call. Keep an eye on the mailing list<http://lists.freeswitch.org>for more announcements. Tomorrow we have scheduled an engineer from JeraSoft<http://www.jerasoft.net/products/vcs/index.html>who will be talking about their routing and billing solution that has been tightly integrated with FreeSWITCH 1.2. If you have FreeSWITCH in a production environment where billing and routing are core elements then this discussion <http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/FS_weekly_2013_04_24> will definitely be of interest. Have a great rest of the week! -- Michael S Collins ClueCon Team http://www.cluecon.com 877-7-4ACLUE

Greetings! Happy tax day to those in the USA - we hope all is well with your business. Speaking of business, I thought I would relay the interesting news<http://www.cnbc.com/id/100637184>about Dish Network making a bid for Sprint. Many here in North America will be keeping a close eye on this one. Whether or not this is just a big mess<http://www.zdnet.com/softbank-sprint-clearwire-dish-figuring-out-this-merge…>or an opportunity for Sprint to become a "real" competitor to AT&T and Verizon remains to be seen. Regardless of the outcome, most of us here are hoping for a healthier Sprint so that we can avoid another duopoly. On last week's conference call<http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/FS_weekly_2013_04_10>we decided to have a preliminary discussion so that we can prepare for this week <http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/FS_weekly_2013_04_17>. Dave Kompel will be showing us how to build rapidly FreeSWITCH applications in MS Visual Studio 2012 and have those run under mod_managed<http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Mod_managed>. Be sure to consult this document<http://download.drknetworking.com/MeetingPreparation.pdf>so that you can get all the prerequisites installed in time for our call on Wednesday. In other news I would like to let everyone know that I spoke with Kashif Kahn over at Vestec <http://www.vestec.com>. We are gearing up for the automatic speech recognition application building contest. The winners will be announced at ClueCon 2013 <http://www.cluecon.com>. The official contest page will be posted on the ClueCon website shortly. Stay tuned for more information and be ready to start building your ASR applications! The ClueCon 2013 call for speakers recently went out and we've had a number of submissions already. We look forwarding to hearing more talk ideas, so please send those in right away. In the meantime ClueCon registration<http://www.cluecon.com/register/>is now open so be sure to get signed up, and don't forget to book your room at the Hyatt Chicago Magnificent Mile <http://www.cluecon.com/hotels/>hotel for only $169 per night. Have a great week! -- Michael S Collins ClueCon Team http://www.cluecon.com 877-7-4ACLUE

A belated happy Monday to all! Last week on our conference call<http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/FS_weekly_2013_04_03>we spent some time discussing various topics such as Jira system improvements and updates, sound prompts, ClueCon 2013 and several other topics. The recordings can be found in the usual place<http://torrents.freeswitch.org/conf_call_2013-04-03.torrent>. On this week's call <http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/FS_weekly_2013_04_10>we are going to have a community discussion and a few minutes of Q&A from the audience. If possible, please add your questions to the agenda page and we'll research them prior to the call. Where applicable we'll ask members of the audience to update the wiki to reflect any undocumented knowledge that has been discussed. Things have been busy with the advent of ClueCon 2013<http://www.cluecon.com>season but we're on top of things and we'll keep everyone posted on all the particulars. Feel free to register at any time. Also, please contact us at this email address if you have any questions about being a speaker, sponsor, or attendee. We'll be glad to assist. One last item: I wanted to personally say thank you to Steven Ayre for all of his hard work with answering questions on the mailing list. He has done a great job of helping lots of people with a variety of questions. Many thanks to Steven and all the others who make FreeSWITCH such a great FOSS community. Thanks and have a great week! -- Michael S Collins Twitter: @mercutioviz http://www.FreeSWITCH.org http://www.ClueCon.com http://www.OSTAG.org
