Hi Anthony, FreeSWITCH list members. :) 1) Anthony, is it you who's in charge of this mail list & group? 2) Starting June 2008 I've been putting together a global Free SW, HW & Culture group, BerkeleyTIP, & GlobalTIP, which meets via VOIP globally. :) It's purpose is educational, productive & social. TIP = Talks, Installfest & Project/Programming Party. I do all this in my small "spare/free" time as a contribution to the communit(ies). {Thanks for all the SW! :) } http://sites.google.com/site/berkeleytip/ The meetings are on the 1st Saturday & 3rd Sunday of each month, from 12N-3PM Pacific usa UTC-8hr time. We are currently looking at moving from Asterisk to freeswitch on our voip server box. http://sites.google.com/site/berkeleytip/remote-attendance I'm writing to invite you all to join with the global BTIP community & attend online. Join #berkeleytip on irc.freenode.net, & we'll help you get on our VOIP conference. [I'm sure you all could probably help us way more than we could help you. ;) ] We also encourage all groups (such as the freeswitch community) to hold a simultaneous meeting, & join together with us all online. I know you already have a friday voip conference, iirc. If all free sw groups had a simultaneous meeting to BerkeleyTIP, it would be like a global meeting/conference - everyone would know that at that time they could meet all their friends & community members online on voip conferences, from all the free sw projects in the world. 3) May I send to this mailing list the monthly BTIPGlobal announcement? This month's announcement is included right below.
