Hello all! Last week was mostly status quo - busy but not too busy. We spent time working on chapters 5 and 6 of the second edition of the FreeSWITCH book<https://www.packtpub.com/freeswitch-1-0-6-build-robust-high-performance-telephony-systems/book>. We also had an interesting discussion<http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/FS_weekly_2012_10_03>about Lumicall <http://www.lumicall.org>, an Android application that allows for mobile VoIP. This week<http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/FS_weekly_2012_10_10>we our very own Ken Rice (with an assist from yours truly) will be discussing FreeSWITCH data gathering and troubleshooting techniques. We will also be talking about how to get all of this data into a Jira in such a way that the developers will be thankful. The following week we've scheduled Chad Engler to come discuss with us his node.js/ESL interface<https://github.com/englercj/node-esl> . In other news we just wanted to let you know that our friends over at Vestec<http://vestec.com>have closed a new round of funding. Check out this release <http://www.prweb.com/releases/2012/10/prweb9961259.htm> for details. We are getting ready to put the finishing touches on the voice-enabled application contest. In the meantime keep working on those application ideas - you may just be the one to win some cash! We thank the Vestec folks for being so supportive. Have a great week! -- Michael S Collins Twitter: @mercutioviz http://www.FreeSWITCH.org http://www.ClueCon.com http://www.OSTAG.org
