VUC: IP Communications Community

TringMe.com PhoneFromHere.com and 1ezphone.com to name a few. We discuss the technology, the point and the current state of the art. Some iPhone talk as well.

The purpose of this call is to discuss the communityâ??s feelings about an Asterisk 3rd party developed commercial software sales licensing platform. The plan is that some form of documented published schema be implemented that will allow for 3rd party software developers to sell their software applications using a common licensing model similar to the way G729 licenses are sold by Digium.

A lot of buzz about this in the last year. We've had Tringme.com on before. This week, Ted Gibson with 1ezcall.com stops by to chat about what he's doing.

Second part of the fax discussion

Yet another wide-ranging discussion with someone who's been around telephony for years. We talk about products and the present and future of VoIP with Cory Andrews of voipsupply.com

Kristian Kielhofner, creator of astlinux joined us for a full two hours. Among some of the stuff covered: - AstLinux History - How/why the project started -- Some other uses we see regularly - Web GUI philosophy -- Toolkit: build your own - Recent Developments lots more. Thanks to Kristian, Darrick and everyone else who contributed to that discussion!

Be sure to look into Asterisk Tag if you can make it to Berlin Germany in late May. http://asterisk-tag.org

Druid has matured quite a bit in the past 2 years. Since then, we have taken a focus on unified communications (UC) and open sourced our code with a more community based approach. Druid OSE (Open Source Edition) is now available for download at http://www.voiceroute.org We believe in "Open Source Unified Communications" that is defined by a community of users and developers, and Asterisk is an important part of Druid OSE.

A few additional gems from the post conference call.

Michael already published his notes on the Ning site, but we were able to grill him a little more on his experiences. This is a very interesting device and may be the shape of things to come.

Pika Technologies make hardware including boards, appliances and gateways for use in VoIP technologies like Asterisk (tm Digium)
