Admission is free but please register using this form so we will have enough seats, literature, give-away items and meals for you. Registrants are eligible for several door prizes. This is a casual, open and friendly opportunity for Asterisk VoIP beginners and veterans to meet and share their goals, knowledge, and skills. For a good background on Asterisk and VoIP you can visit the Asterisk Project, Asterisk Documentation and VoIP Info sites. Pass along this announcement to anyone that you think may be interested in attending.
This year the theme of the Install Track is "Learn by Example". Instead of having new Asterisk users bring their PC's for a bare-metal installation (which most packages now make very easy) we will go through the installation and configuration process in detail and step-by-step. Most issues seem to be setting the configuration after the software is installed and this will be addressed.
