August 7, 2009 at 17:26Asterisk Integrator Business Forum
From August 1 to 2, Helios Hotel, Zelenogorsk, hosted the first
Russian conference on open-source software Asterisk IP-PBX.
Asterisk is a telephone exchange (PBX) with built-in IP
telephony support (including Skype), which has wide functionality.
Despite the fact that Asterisk is a free open source application,
it is very rare among domestic companies, while
outside of Russia they say about Asterisk only about a revolution
in the world of telephony.
The event brought together all the active participants in the community that
promotes Asterisk in Russia.
On the first day of the Business Forum, participants were shown
equipment to work with Asterisk. Presentations were made
Russian developers and representatives of foreign companies. Then
there were reports from well-known Russian Asterisk integrators,
many of their own developments were shown.
On the second day, the participants discussed the main problems preventing the
distribution of Asterisk in Russia, and a further
marketing policy was outlined to popularize Asterisk.
“We have long wanted to get together and discuss pressing issues, and
finally, such an opportunity presented itself. We managed to get to know
each other live and discuss important issues that were somehow raised
on the forums. I’m sure that the effect of the event will be great for the
further development of Asterisk in Russia, ”says one of
organizers Sergey Isaev (Line 24).
Digium, the creator and coordinator of the Asterisk project, also did not
stand aside and brought gift attributes to the forum.
