Jared Smith, Jim van Meggelen, and Leif Madsen of the Asterisk Documentation Project, in conjunction with O'Reilly Media are pleased to announce the official release of Asterisk: The Future of Telephony on Friday, October 14, 2005 at AstriCon 2005 in Anaheim, CA.
In the true spirit of Open Source, the authors and O'Reilly Media have published the book under the open, Creative Commons license, allowing the book in its entirity to be freely distributed. Asterisk: The Future of Telephony is now freely available, for download in PDF form, from the Asterisk Documentation Project website located at http://www.asteriskdocs.org. On the left hand side, click on "Read the book online!" for a copy. The authors would like to thank O'Reilly Media for having the vision to understand how significant it is for the Asterisk community to have a book freely available, thereby lowering the barrier of entry for those new to Asterisk, and to give back to a project that has given us all so much. I would personally like to thank Jared Smith, Jim van Meggelen, Michael Loukides (our editor) and the entire O'Reilly Media staff. The book is currently shipping, and should be available at all major book stores in paperback, and also online from http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/asterisk/ and other online outlets. Thanks, and we hope you enjoy reading it as much as we enjoyed writing it! PS: If the Asterisk Documentation Project website becomes slow due to the number of people accessing it at once, we appoligize and appreciate your patience. For those of you who are able to obtain the full copy, please consider helping us out by creating mirrors and torrents and posting them to the list by replying to this thread.
