[Asterisk-Users] asterisk-doc Conference Call - phase 2 :)

[Jeremy Hall]

I would highly recommend recording it, even if you are attempting to
transcribe it in real time.  That way, you can always go back and replay
a section you missed or want to clarify.

As an added bonus, you could then make it available as an MP3 file, and
those that could not partake can listen to it as though they were there.

Subject: [Asterisk-Users] asterisk-doc Conference Call - phase 2 :)

Thank you to everyone who has offered so far!

I've had formal offers from Martin List-Peterson, William Suffil, Greg
Varga, Brian Cuthie and Ed Guy (hopefully I haven't forgotten
someone....!)

Now we just have to decide where the best spot to host it is. What do
you
guys think?

For this week, I don't care if this is a one off.  At some point I'd
like to
have a weekly conference, and if we can get it hosted permanently once a
week, that would be ideal.  Right now, I'm more worried about just
getting a
conference going :)

I'm going to make a GUESS that we are going to have between 10-15
people.
Perhaps more?  Maybe we can get a tally of who is expected to be there
and
then based on that we can decide on a location.  The server should be
both
SIP and IAX accessible.  Jared mentioned access via a 1-800 number or
PSTN,
but I'm not sure how practical, or necessary, that is.  Again, your
thoughts?

Here is some things Jared dumped into the IRC channel the other day that
we
are going to try and focus on during the conference call:

Layout
Details (we can't go into too much detail about every possible soft
phone/hard phone/voip provider)
Goals (first good docs, then maybe get published)
Submission process (mailing list? Website shows who's in charge of a
certain
section?)
Focus (What do we want to focus on first? The intro and installation
chapters?)
Simplecity (Let's make sure a voip-newvie can get up and running, as
long as
they've used Linux before and know how to use a text editor.)

Please feel free to add your suggestions.

Tentatively the conference will be scheduled for Sunday evening North
American time (I am EST, -0500 GMT).  I'd like to try and get as much
input
as possible from people, but I realize we can't schedule around
everyone.
For now we will assume Sunday evening is good.  In the future we can try
a
couple of different times so that it can be convenient for others.

How are we going to record the thoughts of this conference?  I'm a
fairly
fast typist, so I could attempt to record thoughts and idea's during the
conference.  Should we record it?

At this point I'm going to open the floor to discussion!  If you could
reply
via the asterisk-doc list, that would be best, this list already has too
much traffic :)  If you would like to contact me off list, feel free to
email me, or get a hold of me on the #asterisk-doc IRC channel.

Thanks in advance,
Leif Madsen aka blitzrage
