[astridevcon-2007] Introductions

[Terry Wilson]

Hello, all.

My name is Terry Wilson (twilson, otherwiseguy) and I will be
attending the conference as an attendee.  :-)  I've been involved with
Asterisk since about October of 2003 when a couple of guys I knew
approached me and asked me if I thought I could help them start a
phone company.  "Well, I don't have any telephony experience, but this
Asterisk thing looks handy...sure, I think I can build a phone
company."  I quit my stable job for the startup experience and haven't
looked back since.

I worked for several months with oej on fixing SIP attended transfers
across multiple asterisk boxes for 1.4 (still some things that aren't
quite right, but you can make it work).  Mostly I contribute "quick
little fixes" that seem to take me hours to find (nothing like
spending 8 hours coming up with a patch that only removes a single
line of code).

I've been to Atlanta several times and heartily concur with those of
you that want to eat at Fogo de Chão and visit the local breweries.
Count me in.

I'm currently living in Kansas City, MO and running my own VoIP
consulting business and specialize in large scale Asterisk/SER
deployments.  I look forward to meeting everyone and sitting down to
write some code.

Terry
