I’m not a programmer. Never tried to pass myself off as one — which made for a really, really awkward interview once… but that’s another story.
Anyway, I’ve been creating “APIs” in Perl for a while using Perl CGI on NGINX. It’s not a REST API whatsoever, but I enjoy scripting in Perl and (1) got the job done, (2) was fast, and (3) no learning curve.
TL;DR A few weeks ago, I had some strong concerns over Sangoma’s stewardship of Asterisk and FreePBX. Since that post, Astricon showed that Sangoma definitely appreciates the open source VoIP community and I’m optimistic for the future.
I, along with 300+ others, attended Astricon 2019 during the last week of October in Atlanta, Georgia. This year’s Astricon differed dramatically from others — there was no expo hall, fewer presentations, fewer tracks.
A special spooky episode of ClueCon Weekly with guests Fred Posner and Dan Jenkins! When Open Source is under attack gasp.
Did you catch Fred Posner on FLOSS Weekly discussing Kamailio?
FLOSS all about Free Libre Open Source Software. Hosted by Randal Schwartz and his rotating panel of co-hosts every Wednesday as they talk with the most interesting and important people in the Open Source and Free Software community.
Fred was honored to discuss Kamailio with this group and would join them again in a heartbeat.
Don’t mistake my kindness for weakness. I am kind to everyone, but when someone is unkind to me, weak is not what you are going to remember about me.

So, earlier today (2019-09-24), Sangoma tweeted the following:
If you don’t know, just over a year ago, Sangoma acquired Digium, the creators of Asterisk (which Sangoma called “the most widely used open source communication software in the world”). Sangoma is also the owner of FreePBX, “the most widely deployed open source PBX platform in use across the world.”
I found it interesting that a company owning arguably two of the most widely used open source telephony projects in the world would discuss “outgrowing” open source…
The high cost of poor automation? Recently, an automated call from my utility department served as a great example of automation gone wrong.
She runs a tight kitchen for sure.
At the end of January, it is my honor to attend Asterisk World at ITExpo in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. This year, I will be presenting about integrating Kamailio with Asterisk.
So, AnneMarie entered our lives about 6 weeks ago, and despite all of the amazing advice from all my family and friends, I underestimated the amount of disruption a newborn brings.
