The 2001 Free Telephony Summit will be held January 22nd from 5PM to 7PM at the offices of Via.net, in Palo Alto, California. This summit is open to the public and all are welcome. (However, we ask that you please R.S.V.P. If the number of attendees’s exceeds via.net capacity (likely) we will head next door to a larger space.)

This gathering will include those involved in the Bayonne project, as well as people from other free telephony projects, including pre-Viking. At the summit we will cover numerous issues related to development and inter-operability among free telephony software projects, as well as covering current and future plans for some of these projects:

1. Current state of free telephony

2. Applications and architecture

3. VOIP integration and interoperability

4. Introduction of free telephony billing services

5. Driver design and abstraction layers

6. Future directions for Bayonne and other projects

This will be a good opportunity to meet various people working on free telephony projects, to provide your input to the Bayonne developers, and learn about the present and future for free telephony software in general.

Please R.S.V.P. to Rich Bodo rsb@ostel.com 650-964-4678

Further information and directions can be found at Bayonne News
