[Asterisk-Users] Any interest in a Canadian Asterisk mailing list?
Just on the off chance that Canadian Asterisk users might be interested in a place to discuss topics specific to the "great white north" (sources, services, telcos, etc.), I created the asterisk-canada mailing list: lists.syonex.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-canada or asterisk-canada-subscribe@lists.syonex.com Cheers!

[Asterisk-Users] Any interest in a Canadian Asterisk mailing list?
I'd be interested in a possible mailing list for a United States Asterisk mailing list. We are in the very beginning stages of building a pilot system using Asterisk, but based on the information I've found on the internet so far, it looks very promising to scale the system to our needs. I'd be interested in know if anyone has successfully created a larger system (at least 1000 to 1500 lines), and with a redundancy built in.

I have joined the new list and feel that as long as it is focused on discussions like: - DIDs in Canada - VoIP taxes/regulation in Canada - * compatible hardware vendors in Canada then it should be a welcome addition to the * community. However, any general question should be directed to the -users list. -- Nabeel Jafferali Tel: +1 (416) 628-9342 Toronto +1 (646) 225-7426 New York FWD: 46990 Email/MSN: nabeel<at>jafferali.net

I believe the US and Canada use the same methods for voice services, maybe we could make it a North America list serv instead.

I do, however, appreciate the thought.I don't think the idea is to be "just for Canadians", but more as a forum for topics that relate to Asterisk in the Canadian environment. A very relevant example is the CRTCs deliberations on VoIP, which may have huge repercussions to Canadian Asterisk users, but is hardly relevant to the international version of the Asterisk-Users list. Bell and TELUS bashing might also be popular topics :-) I do agree that any subject that is not specific to the Canadian experience should remain in the international list. We are an international community; therein lies our power. Anyhow, I signed up, and am planning to start a thread about the CRTC VoIP deliberations (and the generous act performed there by Jeff Pulver), something I wouldn't feel was appropriate on Asterisk-Users. Time will tell how many topics there are to discuss. The way I see it, a Canadian mailing list will be no different than our country itself: visitors will always be welcome. -- Jim Van Meggelen jim@vanmeggelen.ca -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

I would love to hear of good and bad experiences with voip providers. This may have specific relevance to Canadians due to availability of DIDs and that the list may include lesser known voip providers than the big US ones. However, perhaps the wiki pages would be better logging for this type of info.

Here in Brazil we are creating our language email list. For us it will be great because we have a lot of different terms, technologies of US and Canada, even Europe. I think that for brazillians, the first place to solve a problem could be the brazillian list, after that a universal list(this asterisk-users list) could be the second choice. The local lists will be a good point to share local expiriences. I dont think that Canada and US have a huge difference of telecom standards like Brazil and US... Denis.

The CRTC is the biggest joke in the world. Ten people sit on their ass making decisions for 30+ million and no one has ever done anything to remove them from power. Heck even HBO is illegal in Canada. Why? Because they few that run the country want the many to remain their captive audience.
