Hi folks,

                Just an update for ya… I will be hosting our first FreeSWITCH Users Group Install Fest on April 25^th, 2010 in downtown San Francisco. I don’t have a location for you yet, but please sign up if the time works for you so I can gauge how big a place I need to find.

http://www.meetup.com/fsusers/ for details, which I’ll copy for you here, too:

Hi folks!

Welcome telecomm enthusiasts, current Asterisk/FreeSWITCH users and anyone else who's interested in SIP, FreeSWITCH or any other VoIP services! This is an exciting time in VoIP - here's your chance to network with others and learn more about FreeSWITCH and what others are doing with it.

We'll be having our first official meet-up on Sunday, April 25th 2010 at 4:00pm at a location downtown (TBD). We'll show you:

    * Installing FreeSWITCH

    * Setting up devices, trunks and general settings via XML

    * Using at least two cool features in FreeSWITCH (vote:)

      - mod_skypiax - Skype Integration

      - mod_event_socket - FreeSWITCH event sockets

      - mod_tts - Text to Speech Engine

      - mod_sofia - Advanced sofia w/ trunking/failover/etc.

Please plan to bring a laptop so you can get the most from this experience with hands-on interaction between the organizer and your peers.

The first 45 minutes of the event will be structured (so please try to be on time) and lead by the organizer, after which we'll share amongst each other. You'll also have the chance to network with other individuals who are working on similar projects.

A location will announced shortly but let us first know if you can make the date!

This is an independent event and is not sponsored by any other company nor officially endorsed by FreeSWITCH. It's more like a local users group.

Thanks much, and welcome!
