Astricon 2006 Followup

Note:  This is a great post from the list.  Please if you attended take time to post your comments to this post.

For the benefit of those outside of the USA or those unable to make it to Astricon 2006;

I wanted to send out this email. For those of you who attended Astricon in Dallas last week what was the one thing that you saw that made the trip worthwhile? (if we post enough information or comments it will be of benefit for those that didn’t attend) For me personally it was the volume of neat add-on applications that the Asterisk community are developing; Over time I’m hoping that this leads to something like AppExchange from Salesforce.com were people can choose from over 300+ applications or addons for SF.

I really want to see more speech recognition applications but I think it’s great what Lumen-vox are doing. I’d also like to see someone post some more modified “ftp to text to speech” http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/asterisk+at+home+festival+weather+configuration It doesn’t need to be weather, how about Oil futures or wheat prices or score for the weekends games. Any text file accessible by FTP can be implemented into this script. I’d like to see more. I’m hoping that over time we can see even more to the point that people buy Asterisk just for the applications and we can quote the same price if not more than cisco because of these addon applications.
 
Cheers,
Dean
