Jeff Pulver’s post reminded me that I need to make it easier to be found in this mad month of March.

Next week is eComm. Be there or be behind the curve of what’s really emerging in voice, video and real time communications. There’s also the IDG Voice Summit on Tuesday which I hope to make part of it after a client meeting in the morning.

The week of March 17th is VON. VON is the Mac Daddy of voice shows and has the mainstream players plus the Carl Ford/Thomas Howe/Jeff Pulver Unconference.

End of month has me at Electronic Telespan in Las Vegas, just before CTIA starting April 1…

I had a call last night from on of my friends who is no longer with Level3. I continue to be amazed how the company can start to grow and then shoot themselves in the foot.

The idea of loyalty to employees is not in the company’s DNA as people who have significantly helped correct the company were all basically moved out.

What is going on is the same kind of brain drain we’re seeing at Intel, HP, Dell and elsewhere. Basically people are hired to make the company look good, or promoted. Once they get the company to where they need to be, then the axe falls.

Heck of a way to run a business, but I guess that’s the way the Crowe flies in Broomfield.

If you were an asterisk@home fan, now it has become trixbox! So they have a new site but the sourceforge site is the same (asterisk@home).
What ever they do, they are doing a better job each time. If you are a developer/user (may be other way around) this is a site that must be on your list. Click on the header to go to their news site.
Here is the release note from the site;
trixbox 1.1 released today. The only new feature is Munin a system monitoring package. There are tones of small fixes. Zaptel and conferencing should be working. The latest SugarCRM is included. I will try to get a 1.1 upgrade script ready for next week but 1.0.3 that installs from the upgraded script now should have all the conferencing and zaptel fixes.
All of the non opensource packages have been removed from the ISO so if you use HUDlite you will need to type install-hudlite from command line.
The update news is here;
The new 1.1.1 update is available just type Âtrixbox-update.sh update from the command line. This update adds all of the 1.1 functionality and also adds PHP 4.3.11 We were having a lot of problems with SugarCRM because the version of PHP that comes with CentOS is not supported by Sugar.
