Hi,
I just returned from FOSDEM, held today at ULB Free
University, Brussels.
It was a great event, helping to encourage growth
of free software.
You could see many designers and developers
working to make Open Source better.
I must say I "recharged my batteries", raising my
spirit a little.
I joined SER presentation by Jan Janak, held at
14:00 at "Chavanne" room, building "U".
Jan's appearance was recepted very warmly by
audience.
Presentation was professional and it fitted
well in schedule, still leaving a lot of time for questions from
the public.
I must say that new SER logo (the big "S") looked
very good on the big screen, during presentation.
Jan presented origins of SER project, overview of
architecture and functionality and also few typical SER installation scenarios.
For those knowing less about SER or willing to learn it was a best primer. He
also presented answers for frequent questions like "what SER is and what is
not" and what can be done to get additional functionalities.
There is a photograph attached to this letter. It's
was taken with 3G phone but you can still see Jan on the right, with one of
his slides.
:-)
After SER there was Asterisk presentation and
workshop, held by Mark Spencer and his
colleagues.
He's a great developer too and in addition he
revealed his showman skills, adding many jokes for the audience to laugh
at. I was particularly disarmed by funny
voice prompts with Asterisk's IVR voice of Alice, although one could
found some them a little abrupt :-)
