Somewhat related Astricon just took place in Anaheim this last week.
A couple of us from La Sierra managed to get out there it was at
times very interesting, highly scary and unfortunately in some areas
very boring.
The Digium guys look with it but their presenters were very young to
say the least. Couple interesting talks though that we attended:
VoIP and E-911 - Very scary, so much so that if your thinking of
deploying any VoIP either internally or to communicate with others
inside the US. You need to read up on it. From this talk basically
I've come to the opinion that wireless VoIP is either deader than a
door nail or soon to be. Oh and violating the FCC mandate on the
E-911 issue is $11,000 dollars of fine per violation, per day. A
single customer is constitutes a single violation at least.
Provisioning VoIP phones via DHCP/FTP/ and LDAP - Awesome talk about
using Polycomm IP500/501's with DHCP, a special ftp server as well as
LDAP to deploy Asterisk VoIP within Sun Microsystems Sun Labs
environments. They've got their Asterisk box connected via T1/PRI to
the company Definity Avaya PBX as well as using IAX and SIP internally.
A IVR talk by the "voice" of Asterisk whose website is found here
http://www.theivrvoice.com Allison Smith is a very well spoken lady
who will voice any prompt you want at what seems to be very
reasonable rates. Though not knowing what the market is I could be
wrong. The big joke in the session was her mentioning that she did a
couple gag IVR voicing which included a on hold notice where the
voice broke down and told the on hold person that they really where
not next and likely the next voice they would hear would be the
cleaning lady. Also she doesn't do swedish....
Others of note:
A call center case study with up to 220 simultaneous agents with call
volumes of 70,000 per day or higher in some cases.
Asterisk integration into Jabber implementation
Anyways don't mean to hijack Jeff's thread thought I would give a
report for those potentially interested. If you haven't checked out
Asterisk do, its pretty incredible what is on the horizon using this
software.

I'm going to try to get a few very interested parties together to

an Asterisk Users group.
Our first project will be to build an asterisk server on a
dedicated IP#
