The rollout is tomorrow evening, Tuesday March 30 from 6:30 to 7:30PM at the Hilton in Santa Clara, just across the street from the Conference Center. It's being held in a ballroom (I don't have the name with me, I'll try to post it later).
I hope to see you there.

I'd love to attend. Thanks! Paul Paul Mahler [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steven M. Sokol Sent: Monday, March 29, 2004 11:36 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Asterisk-Users] VON Update - Pingtel Creates new SIP Open Source Group The VON show has started off with a number of interesting announcements. First among these is a big announcement from Pingtel that they have created a not-for-profit corporation called SIPFoundry. This new company includes Pingtel (which has recently open sourced their SIPExchange PBX), Vovida and somebody else. Martin indicated in his presentation that the key goal of the new group is to leverage the open source SIP implementations to prevent legacy vendors (read Nortel, Avaya, Siemens, etc.) from using the "Embrace and Extend" model to co-opt and proprietize SIP. Pingtel (which makes SIP hardware) wants to keep the SIP market open and interoperable. They have a web site (which I can't seem to reach from the wireless network here at the show) for the new company/project: http://www.sipfoundry.org I spoke with Martin _____ who gave the Pingtel presentation and is an officer of both Pingtel and the new SipForge organization. He indicated he would like to speak with Mark regarding the possibility of integrating the Asterisk community with the SIP Forge community. He indicated that Asterisk was not initially brought into the discussion only due to limited time/resources (and to a lesser degree because Asterisk is not SIP-centric). Can somebody out there take a look at the SIP Forge site and let us all know what the crux of the organization is set to be? They are having an open roll-out meeting tomorrow evening which should spell out some of the goals of the organization and the partners. Above all Martin wanted me to understand that he did not view the new open source organization as a competitor to Asterisk. What do you think? More on-the-scene reports to come.
