[asterisk-dev] Developers: Hey there! AstriDevCon signups, please.

[John Todd]

[shaking the trees again for developers who are interested in meeting  
face-to-face in October - sign up on the form linked below, please!   
We need to figure out how many tables, what size room, etc.  - it  
seems that quite a few of you who I know are coming haven't yet filled  
in the form.  Please just let us know you'll be attending, even if  
you've talked with Russell or Kevin or myself directly... we have  
short memories.  :-)  ]


This AstriCon will see the re-establishment of the AstriDevCon - the  
mini-conference within a conference!  This is a full-day, discussion- 
oriented meeting where core developers can have direct and  
uninterrupted access to each other in a more direct way than usual.   
These sessions often result in massively productive results, either as  
new features are contemplated and developed, or as old problems are  
finally vanquished through the application of many eyes and hands.

AstriDevCon will be on Friday, October 29.  It's expected to be the  
whole day in one of the rooms from AstriCon - from 9:00ish until...  
when it ends that evening.  It's expected that there will be some  
activity the prior evening as well, as AstriCon ends in the afternoon  
but many of you may already be in town and gravity ends up pulling  
people towards the room...

Seats are limited.  Preference will be given to developers who are  
active participants in the issue tracker, patch submission, and  
asterisk-dev mailing lists and IRC channels.  There is no charge for  
attending AstriDevCon, though registration is required.

IMPORTANT: If you know someone who is an Asterisk developer, but  
doesn't frequent the asterisk-dev list, please forward this to them.   
There are a surprising number of people who make significant  
contributions but who are possibly out of the range of this message,  
and we want to ensure everyone who qualifies knows about this  
opportunity.

The DevCon is fairly unstructured, but it is typically the case that  
there are discussions on:
  - security issues
  - priority of work issues
  - general brainstorming on new features
  - difficult bugs in the issuetracker
  - protocol (SIP, IAX2, etc.) questions and decisions
  - integration of third-party applications

Questions?  Reply back to this email and I'll try to answer as quickly  
as possible.
