Various topics:
Randall Schwartz and Floss Weekly vs Wikipedia
A Visit to HD Communication Summit near Paris
Google buzz and the privacy concerns surrounding it
General geolocation revelation issues and how location works via wifi
Comparing Amazon, Apple customer service and resolution of issues with Orange. All are very large companies, yet the first two manage to resolve most issues with 24 hours for me (Zeeek) whereas Orange didn’t in six weeks of repeated phone calls.

Exciting Times for Wideband SIP Clients
Posted by Zeeek/Randulo in VoIP
Yep, three of them, count ‘em, three SIP xcleints should be g722 capable soon for the Mac (and linux and windows).
I have been testing (and/or talking to the authors of) these:
Blink (Mac OS X only, )
Zoiper (SIP/IAX Linux, Mac, Win)
Telephone (Mac OS X only)
They all use pjsip which caused some distortion problems at first. This thread in the Asterisk-dev mailing list sheds some light on the issues to change.
Astricon Wrap Up

Heroic efforts were required to produce this live call and edit it, and it will take patience and strong will to listen to it because of the noise and levels. We post it here because a lot of interesting things were said by participants (in random order) Tim Panton, Darrick Hartmann, Barry Kline, Philippe Lindheimer, Fred Posner, Zoa, David Duffet and whoever else wandered in.

All in all, Digium did a great job in organizing the event with compelling content, fun, good food, and a space where people with our shared interests can gather and basically bother Allison Smith for three whole days.
Free DIDs, how do they work?

We referred a lot to the HD Connect Now site.
This week, Doug Mohney joins us. Doug has clocked more than 20 years of experience in the ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) arena between working in real world businesses and writing about them.
His resume includes Editor in Chief, Telecom and Digital Media Group for a B2B emedia company and Editor-in-Chief at VON Magazine (the pulvermedia incarnation, not the Virgo one). Publications he’s written for over the past dozen years include Boardwatch, Mobile Radio Technology/Urgent Communications, The Inquirer, and VON Magazine, covering telecommunications, the Internet, and online video.
His hands-on/real-world experience includes stints at two high-tech start-up companies, one that went public (DIGEX) and one that didn’t (SkyCache/Cidera). Joining DIGEX as employee number 10 in 1993, Doug had a ring-side seat to the trials and tribulations of a fast growing, VC-funded startup doing the boom growth years of the Internet.

Part 2: Yate and g722
Audio : Download file (TS-227343.mp3)
YATE with Diana Cionoiu, who always shoots from the hip. Yate is an open source software developed with reliability, scalability and flexibility in mind for tomorrow’s telephony networks. I guarantee an interesting call this week, but then we always have interesting calls, right? Otherwise, why would they last up to four hours like today’s call?Here is a link to Diana’s presentation at Asterisk Tag 2008. She was also at AMOOCON 2009, here’s the page for her presentation. (Almost all the presentations are now available on the AMOOCON site. Nice work, Stefan!)
Acting upon the suggestion of our group, here is the IRC transcript of the call which again lasted over 4 hours.
