VoIP & Gadget News – Digium Launches Asterisk Tech Tips Webinars

Steve Sokol, Asterisk Marketing Director for Digium informed me that starting this week Digium will be presenting a bi-weekly series of webinars called Asterisk Tech Tips. Steve explained, “Each episode consists of a tutorial covering an interesting feature of Asterisk, followed by an open Q&A session. People are welcome to ask questions about the tutorial topic, but it’s also an open forum for general Asterisk questions.”

This week Malcolm Davenport (Digium employee #4 & Senior Product Manager for Asterisk and Asterisk SCF) will be covering one of the more popular new features of Asterisk 1.8: tying Asterisk into Google. The tutorial will teach people how to effectively use Google’s voice chat (part of Gmail) as a soft-phone with Asterisk, and how to make and receive free calls in the U.S. using Google Voice. Free DID, free LD, free soft-phone.

On a related note, check out TMCnet’s latest list of educational webinars, which cover everything from VoIP to UC to security to CRM.

Tech Tips is scheduled to take place every two weeks. To suggest a topic or if you’re interested in presenting a Tech Tip, email Steve Sokol: s-s-o-k-o-l at digium.com. (remove hyphens and change ‘at’ to @)

Tomorrow the first episode takes place at 12pm CDT/ 1pm EDT. To register to attend Digium’s first episode head over here: http://www.asterisk.org/techtips
