[asterisk-users] [VUC] Friday Nov 6 @ 12 Noon EST: Village Telco
Hello from http://VUC.me or voipusersconference.org This week on the VoIP Users Conference we welcome the Village Telco Project [http://www.villagetelco.org/ ] self-described as "an easy-to-use, scalable, standards-based, wireless, local, do-it-yourself, telephone company toolkit". This is an inspiring project with the stated ambition: "... to render local telephony in developing countries to be so cheap as to be virtually free. Thanks to advances in Open Source telephony software and the dramatic decrease in the cost of wireless broadband technology, we think this is entirely possible." They are developing open hardware as well: "In a nutshell, the Village Telco needs an affordable device to connect customers to the meshed WiFi network. The Mesh Potato will dramatically reduce the cost of a Village Telco startup" Please join us this week to learn more about this original and worthy project. We have a very wide range of ways you can be a part of our community, thanks to the efforts of members of the same community: Your local time of next conference: http://VUC.me/next Audio live communication channels: SIP g722 wideband 200901 at login.zipdx.com SIP g711 7463#22622#1 at proxy.ideasip.com Skype Call vuc.me or if your bandwidth is limited, low def using skype:ld.vuc.me POTS +1 567 252 2286 Text channels: IRC #voip-users-conference Google Wave search for VUC or try http://VUC.me/nextwave
