Speaker: Scott Sharkey
Topic: Asterisk-Open Source PBX in a box

Asterisk is an open source/free software implementation of a telephone
private branch exchange (PBX) originally created by Mark Spencer of Digium.
Like any PBX, it allows a number of attached telephones to make calls to one
another, and to connect to other telephone services including the
public switched telephone network (PSTN). "Its name comes from the asterisk
symbol, *, which in Unix (and Unix-like operating systems such as Linux) and
DOS environments represents a wildcard, matching any sequence of characters
in a filename."

For HOME...Scott is bringing a server, IP and Software Phones, and
will show the whole thing including a discussion of ITSP's (internet
telephone service providers), how to build your own voicemail or IVR
applications, and how to get a system for your home or small office.
