Clod is working for a Google Summer Of Code to implements a new way to debug real-time an Asterisk Server. This session could interest any administrators who would to debug Asterisk on new techniques. These new techniques uses a new approach called the CLI filtering to be able to hide some informations on the Command-Line-Interface (CLI) which will allow you to debug your servers faster and easier then ever.

Welcome to Calendaring for Asterisk--a recent addition to Asterisk that allows a user to let Asterisk know about their schedule. No longer will administrators have to much around with config just to manage changes in business office hours. Any user can now have Asterisk handle calls based on their personal calendars with the interfaces they are already used to.

Have you ever missed a conference call because you were away from your desk when a meeting alert popped up? No more! Asterisk can call your cell phone and alert you that there is a meeting--it can even connect you if you'd like! Adding calendaring support to Asterisk opens up all kinds of possibilities--and in this session I'll show them to you.

In this session Tim Panton will present a series of live demos to illustrate how you and your customers/business can benefit from Skype for Asterisk.

Westhawk Ltd joined the first round of Skype for Asterisk beta programme in December 2008. Since then we have been experimenting, innovating, executing and discovering new ways (both obvious and obscure) that Skype for Asterisk can be implemented to beneficial effect.

This is your opportunity to gain a candid insight into Westhawk’s experiences and knowledge gained during the past year working with Skype for Asterisk. Tim will demonstrate how Westhawk’s development of elegant middle-ware has enabled us to address and join a complex myriad of web interfaces, audio and VoIP. Achieving some less than obvious (cool) results that are made to look deceptively easy for the user, thus strengthening Asterisk’s claim as the ‘Swiss Army Knife of VoIP’!

VoIP and social networks are changing the way people communicate nowadays. Asterisk does have support for some Jabber IM and presence, but sometimes we need to enchance Asterisk's Instant Messaging and Presence cpabilities.

The talk will focus on two alternatives: Integrating Asterisk and Kamailio/OpenSER to get SIMPLE presence and XMPP; and Asterisk and OpenFire integration, and easy way to get XMPP messaging and presence with Asterisk.

Presented by: Saúl Ibarra Corretgé Software Developer AG Projects

This session is based on being able to integrate your Asterisk install into MSSQL database. The advantages of this are endless. We currently use our database integration to provide CDR reporting, Click-to-Call functionality, Call Presence and a Follow me app. This session will also show how to store voicemails in MSSQL databases and send them to your E-mail Client.

In this talk I will give a brief overview of the OpenBTS architecture followed by the story of the OpenBTS field test at the 2009 Burning Man festival. The Black Rock City test site is unique in that it affords a large potential user population and no existing cellular coverage. Apart from being fun, the Black Rock environment is a good facsimile of a disaster relief application, both in terms of infrastructure and on-site provisioning requirements. This year, we will deploy a GSM-based speech and text system, to be used by 50,000 people for one week, starting and ending with bare dirt. Come and find out what happened.
