Central Indiana Linux Users' Group to Offer Asterisk Boot Camp

CINLUG, the Central Indiana Linux Users' Group, a not-for-profit group of Linux experts and enthusiasts, in cooperation with OfficeTone, is hosting another in its Boot Camp series of day-long hands-on training seminars. This one will focus on Asterisk, an Open Source project that allows a common PC to become a complete PBX phone system.

 

Asterisk provides all of the features you would expect from a PBX and more: Voice over IP (VoIP) in many protocols, interoperation with almost all standards-based telephony equipment, voicemail services with Directory, Call Conferencing, Interactive Voice Response and Call Queuing, etc. Asterisk supports three-way calling, caller ID services, and much more. Its popularity has soared recently - becoming one of the most active and successful Open Source Software projects.

The Asterisk Boot Camp will be held May 6 in Indianapolis from 9am to 3pm. The cost is $40 for CINLUG members and $80 for non-members. On-line registration and further details are available at. Attendees are expected to bring their own PC which will be used to install Asterisk. Visit the website for system requirements and preparation instructions before the event.

Space is limited - other Boot Camps have sold out early. Reserve your space soon!
