UTAUG group rules modified

[Carl Youngblood]

Due to spam, posts from recently registered members are now moderated,
and new members must request permission to join the group, justifying
to me that they are human beings and not computers. Sorry for the
cybernetic discrimination, but we are in a war against Skynet. Will
you aid us or thwart us? Choose swiftly.

[Jeff Knighton]

Down with skynet!

[Eliott Spencer]

Are you going to use dogs to determine if the cybernetic organism is not a
human? The ones with human skin over a metal endoskeleton are hard to tell
apart. I might be one for all you know.

[Carl Youngblood]

I think we should either:

1) Engage in hand to hand combat with the candidate, or
2) Hit it with a baseball bat.

[Carl Youngblood]

Actually, now that I think about it, all the terminators on the show
are really robot-like and dim-witted when they talk to you. I think I
will just engage it in conversation.

[Eliott Spencer]

Please don't hit me with a bat, Carl! Also, I don't like being called an "it"

Since this is the most activity we have had in a while, how about something VoIP related:

Some big talent from the OpenSER group that started the Kamailio project when OpenSER changed its name to OpenSIPs has now merged back in with the originals over at IPtel (developers of SER which where it all started). The new project, which I think is going to be exciting, is called the SIP-router project. Here is the site:

http://sip-router.org/

I am looking forward to what they can do together.

In other news, FreePBX is looking to put their web interface skills to the test by dressing up the emerging FreeSwitch platform.

and don't forget Asterisk 1.6 has been out for a while and has tons of new features! If we can put together a UTAUG meeting we could have a workshop on how to interface the new asterisk with a database and build new database-driven applications using asterisk as a thin interface between the user and the database. Maybe we can start meeting again in the new year.

At the moment I don't even FEEL human from the inside.

I think that's a great idea!

I gave a presentation on just such an animal at AstriCon this past
September, and I'd be happy to share my knowledge with anyone willing to
present on the topic.

I'm all over it! I am sure your methods are much better than mine. I
reckon you use funcodbc though, right? I hope I at least got that part
right.

Yes, I'm using func_odbc. It makes it fairly painless to query and
update a database from the Asterisk dialplan.
