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-finalists-for-the-2013-itspa-awards/>. 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.
