asternicstatsthumb.pngThis product has not had a lot of fanfare, in fact only came across it by accident a few months ago.The "free" version is quite good and will satisfy 80%, who just need a Queues report at the end of the month or week or even day. For those that require it realtime, they have a paid version. Just in case you wondering it is from the same people who wrote Flash Operator Panel.

Openfire with MYSQL Install Tutorial 

openfirethumb.pngThis is basically an improvement on the original article provided to Ben's Elastix with Tears. The original article used the embedded database (HSSQL) which is a simple database. However, a minor bug meant that Linux Newbies had to do some code correction before being able to use. Furthermore the MYSQL database product is already used in Elastix, so we have upgraded the Tutorial to use the MYSQL database instead which doesn't require code correction.

 Openfire is a XMPP Server (basically known as a Jabber Server), and allows for a large range of clients to provide Instant Messaging and Presence Services. 

 

 

 

 

Interesting News

A news snippet from the Freepbx lead developer, Philippe Lindheimer , in which he says....

"Part of assuring the success of FreePBX is to make sure that we continue to have strong leadership, community participation and a thriving eco-system of users and partners. I would like to announce a new partnership that will help the project tremendously. I have joined forces with Bandwidth.com as their Open Source Community Director, where we will be devoting significant resources and effort to expand the scope of FreePBX while protecting its charter to make sure it remains open and strong.
There are a number of reasons why I chose Bandwidth.com, which I trust you will see play out in the coming weeks, months and years. Bandwidth.com is a high quality VoIP and Data Service Provider interested in assuring the FreePBX project continues its success. They sell VoIP and Data services, not PBX software - they want that to be free. Bandwidth.com has done some exciting pioneering work with FreeSWITCH and we are very excited to see how that work can live along side FreePBX as it has the potential to bring together some very vibrant communities to all of our benefit. We are currently digging through the various Open Source licensing options so that we can release these contributions to the community."
