I just finished getting YATE up and running as a conference server. Despite the lean documentation, I was impressed by how little I had to do to get it working. I would expect that implementing more powerful features such as admin control and scheduling is going to require a bit more work, but it was […]
I just got home from ClueCon 2008 last night. It’s the second time for me to be at that conference, and I was just as pleased as I was the first time. This is the conference where all the best brains in open source telecom go, so if you want to meet as many of […]
It seems that recently a lot of open source projects have emerged with excellent pedigree. In a nutshell, Mighty Asterisk has got some competition.
