This month we are being joined by Andrew Gillis, the creator of TrixBox / Asterisk@Home and he will be giving a technical talk on TrixBox.
Some background on Andrew:
Andrew Gillis has been working with VoIP since VoIP became commercially viable in 1998. He was a Senior Systems Engineer at several VoIP startups including Octave Communications developing VOIP voicemail systems. He became an independent consultant, deploying worldwide roll-outs of VoIP PBX systems to companies such as Liberty Mutual.
In his spare time, Andrew created Asterisk@Home as a fun project to build home PBX systems for his friends and business associates. Asterisk@Home took a life of its own and grew to be the largest source forge in the world with 80,000 downloads a month.
A bit about Fonality, the sponsor of TrixBox:
Fonality became aware of Asterisk@Home and was impressed by the growing active community. In an effort to give back to its open source roots as well as becoming a lead generation tool for Fonality's PBXtra product, Fonality acquired Asterisk@Home in October 2006. Fonality renamed Asterisk@Home to trixbox. Andrew continues to grow the trixbox community and the products the products that surround it.
