We're about to do another batch of sounds, and I see by my word count that we have some extra time left over. So, suggestions will be entertained for additional prompts in English, Spanish, or French. The only rules are: 1) the prompts have to be generic to Asterisk. No "Welcome to so-and-so's business" unless the business is fake and the prompt is funny. 2) The prompt may not be profane. Our professional speakers do have a sense of humor, but there are some things they just will not say. I'll open it to the floor now, with the caveat that since Digium is paying for the recording session, it maintains final editorial approval over which sounds are selected. -- Tilghman

Things like: "Your balance is too low to connect this call." "Please add additional funds to your account." "Your account balance is..." and one for the permissions set: "...from the account..." (to go along with the "Calls to the number you have dialed are not permitted....") N.
The word "Dialing..." and "Calling..." As in "Dialing 911, please wait..." and as in "Calling 911, please wait..."

Hello Tilghman & all, About a year ago, I wrote a simple AGI script to read off statuses from our Nagios monitoring. I couldn't find anything that talked about status, other than the weather. I resorted to using things like cloudy, rainy, sunny, etc. I think some generic words like: unknown, critical, alive, host, printer, allow(ed), cpu I'm sure whatever we end up with will be useful though, so thanks either way! :) Martin Smith, Systems Developer martins at bebr.ufl.edu Bureau of Economic and Business Research University of Florida (352) 392-0171 Ext. 221> -----Original Message----- > From: asterisk-users-bounces at lists.digium.com > [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces at lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of > Tilghman Lesher > Sent: Thursday, May 01, 2008 6:01 PM > To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion > Subject: [asterisk-users] New generic sounds > > We're about to do another batch of sounds, and I see by my > word count that we > have some extra time left over.
