Very Good Nicolas, I think it is a very good idea. It is your work, you dedicated a lot of time and effort to it, do not give it out for free. CS PS: It opens up the market to other people too :) -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-biz-boun...@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-biz-boun...@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Nicolás Gudiño Sent: Monday, June 29, 2009 5:33 PM To: asterisk-biz@lists.digium.com Subject: [asterisk-biz] Announcement: Flash Operator Panel 2 released Hello list, After several months of work and testing I finished with the next generation FOP. Flash Operator Panel is a web based switchboard application for Asterisk. You can download the software and read more about it at http://www.fop2.com It is an almost a complete rewrite of the original, using the same underlying technologies ( AMI proxy, Flash xmlsockets ), but with a dhtml/javascript frontend. Although the underlying technologies are the same, the focus has changed. FOP2 is now user oriented. In order to use it you have to login with your extension number and a password. For this reason, you can perform transfers or originate calls only from your phone (and not others). For the very same reason you can perform those actions using clicks of the mouse instead of using drag and drop, as the origin of the actions will be always the extension you are logged in as. That will make it easier to use with touch screens. I am in the process of making packages for different distributions and platforms. There might be minor changes on the packages in the very first weeks, mostly on the installation procedures and documentation files, and probably minor bug fixes. The main reason and motivation behind FOP 2 was that the original FOP started small and grew in features not in an ordered way, driven by community requests and demands. So it ended up being a mammoth that was in need of a heavy rewrite. I have taken what I consider the most important factors and features for a switchboard based on feedback and the experience I gained over the years, and started to code with a clear idea of the features for the final product. The result is a proxy daemon that is much more optimized and solid that uses a lot less cpu than FOP 1. The drawback is that FOP 2 has currently less features than FOP 1 (mainly less button types, for example there is no support for regexp buttons anymore and parking is not supported). But is also has several cool new features that are described in the web site. After much though, I also decided to not release this version as open source. You can use it for free up to 15 buttons per context, or you can buy a license to unlock the number of buttons. FOP 1 is not dead and it is still open source. I will make compatibility and bug fixes releases for it. Hope you enjoy the software as much as I did developing it. -- Nicolás Gudiño Buenos Aires - Argentina _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- asterisk-biz mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-biz _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- asterisk-biz mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-biz
