@scottalanmiller Thanks for the welcome- and thanks for informing us about this MangoLassi!

We are always excited to join a community of knowledgeable and helpful IT professionals. So a little bit about our company. As @scottalanmiller mentioned, we are the creators and maintainers of the Asterisk project. We also provide Switchvox Unified Communication solution, and a wide variety of telephony hardware (gateways, cards, IP phones- all that fun stuff). So whether you want to design your own custom communications solution, or implement a turnkey solution based off Asterisk- we can help.

But we are here to learn, educate, help, answer questions, and just see what the community is talking about. Let us know if we can help in any way, and we look forward to exploring this community some more.

AstriCon is the longest-running event devoted to all-things Asterisk, one of the most influential open source telecommunication projects today. The conference & expo is next month, so for those of you interested in learning more about this event, here are some resources for you:

• David Duffett, Asterisk Community Manager, talks to James Body of Truphone on Asterisk Live James has become famous at AstriCon for his Dangerous Demos. Watch the video here

• The Digium Certified Asterisk Professional (dCAP) exam will be offered at AstriCon- get more info here.

• Stay up-to-date with AstriCon posts on the Digium Blog

• Watch Digium's "All Things AstriCon" LIVE stream discussion on Facebook

And of course, visit AstriCon.net foreven more. There are still seats left so register today!

@JaredBusch Just to be clear, these performers are there to greet attendees, perform, and then they leave. They are not used to attract anyone to a booth. They are there to entertain our guests- both men and women. We do understand not everyone loves a hula dance or cancan, and that's fine. Plenty of other fun things to see and do at AstriCon!

Dear Friends,

If you, like me, have a tendency to leave things until the last minute, you may be in danger of missing out on AstriCon this year - as it is a little earlier than usual, September 27-29 in Phoenix, Arizona. www.astricon.net

AstriCon is the annual event for the Asterisk community - including corporate users of Asterisk systems, developers, hardware manufacturers and emerging companies. Join in three days of nothing but Asterisk-themed talks, demos and Expo exhibits - inevitably bound to help you learn more, progress your projects, perfect your solutions or even find customers for your new Asterisk-related thing!

Key members of the Asterisk development team will be on hand to chat and answer questions, as well as presenting (along with Matt Jordan, Digium CTO) some of what they have been up to in our closing keynote session...

Talking of keynotes, we have two more top class addresses this year, from Bill Ledingham, CTO/EVP of Engineering at Black Duck Software and Chris Matthiue, Director of IoT Engineering at Citrix.

You really don't want to miss those... www.astricon.net

In addition to all of the above, there are more projects than ever before represented in our Open Source Showcase this year - including Kamailio, FreeSWITCH, Homer, CGRates and OpenSIPS! As always, Asterisk initial creator, Mark Spencer and Allison Smith, the first lady of Asterisk will be on hand to participate in all the fun.

As well as coming to AstriCon yourself, you could always share the love by bringing some colleagues with you, using the excellent Diamond Pass. Full details at www.astricon.net

Hope I get to see you in Arizona - the show kicks off in four short weeks!

All the best,

David Duffett
Director of Worldwide Asterisk Community
Digium

Ha! Thanks everyone- and glad we could give a little plug to the community. We enjoy being a part of several different forums, each with their own offerings, niches, professionals, and conversations happening. We are excited to get involved with ML (and don't worry, we will keep the promotional stuff in the proper section)

AstriCon, the largest Asterisk User Conference & Expo in the world, is right around the corner! Here are some tips for those attending and those interested in attending. Registration is still open so visit Astricon.net for more information.

@RojoLoco Well.. Rock and Roll, baby. Our performers, however, have tops- fully intact.

@coliver Well, to be precise, these were performers at AstriCon, not simply booth girls. They also welcomed all AstriCon attendees as they entered the conference

@scottalanmiller Attendees are free to wear whatever inspires them! AstriCon does a different theme every year, and it usually coincides with the location of the conference. Here's our VP of Marketing, Leslie Conway, with Digium CEO, Danny Windham, at the 2014 AstriCon in Las Vegas.
