SIP in higher education

[Garret Yoshimi <>]

Hi folks,

We have another timely topic for our call this week ... /Open Source 
Communications Options & Opportunities/.  Our guest presenter, Bill 
Rich, will discuss the growing set of open source choices available to 
institutions looking to implement VoIP.  We recently saw Bill present 
this topic at the ACUTA IP Summit in Baltimore, and thought this would 
be a great update topic for the SIG.

Date+Time: Thursday, 5/17/07 2:00-3:00 EDT

Guest Presenter - William J. Rich is the President and CEO of Pingtel 
Corp., which provides open source-based, SIP communications solutions 
for the enterprise market.  Pingtel is also the founder and primary 
sponsor of SIPfoundry.org, and open source community focused on 
delivering real-world, SIP platforms.  Bill brings over 20 years of 
VoIP  and telecommunications experience to Pingtel.  Prior to joining 
Pingtel, Bill was an entrepreneur-in-residence at St. Paul Venture 
Capital, CEO of Aravox
Technologies, a session border company sold to Alcatel, and CEO of 
VocalData, a feature server/IP Centrex platform company sold to Tekelec.

Slides are attached to this note as a pps file.

Please join us on the call this Thursday at the usual time.

Best.

Garret, Candace, Walt and Dennis
