One week closer to ClueCon! Things have been very busy for the FreeSWITCH team and community. In addition to gearing up for ClueCon <http://www.cluecon.com?cc12-0716> we've all been working on our day jobs and mixing in the occasional summer vacation. We've also had inclement weather play a role in scheduling one of our weekly conference<http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Weekly_Conference_Call?cc12-0716>call presentations. Dave Kompel, one of our resident Windows gurus, had been scheduled to discuss a technique for handling the Windows firewall in a manner similar to how we use Fail2Ban<http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Fail2ban?cc12-0716>in a Linux environment, however thunderstorms in his area required his full attention on protecting and keeping his servers up and running. We will reschedule as soon as possible. This week we have scheduled Darren Schreiber from 2600hz<http://www.2600hz.com?cc12-0716>. He will be doing a follow up to his SIP 101 discussion<http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/FS_weekly_2012_06_20?cc12-0716>from several weeks ago. We will be diving a bit deeper into the SIP protocol. In the initial discussion we focused most of our attention on getting SIP endpoints registered and the setup/teardown process. This week we will look at some of the other things SIP can do, like presence. We invite you to join us this Wednesday at 1PM Eastern, 10AM Pacific. In ClueCon news we are very happy to report that 2600hz is back as a Silver sponsor! In fact, the aforementioned Darren Schreiber will be giving a presentation<http://www.cluecon.com/presentation/open-source-revamping-telecom-you-want-learn-our-wins-and-misses?cc12-0716>at ClueCon, discussing some of the hard-earned lessons that 2600hz has learned over the past few years. If you are interested in cloud telephony then definitely be there for Darren's talk. For those who've not registered yet please keep in mind that the "bits will shift again" this Wednesday and registrants will receive four entries instead of the current eight.

We are looking forward to seeing everyone together again in Chicago. -- Michael S Collins ClueCon Team http://www.cluecon.com 877-7-4ACLUE cc12-0716
