Regarding Pulver Media, I just spoke to someone close to Jeff Pulver
who tells me a statement is expected soon. I know that VON was called
Video on the Net the last time I saw it in print and wasn't about VoIP
specifically.

I went to two Astricons (in Europe) and I don't recall seeing Pulver
media at either one. Jeff Pulver's latest project is
primetimererun.com which allows you to watch popular tv shows on a
browser. Works great, too by the way. Nothing to do with Astricon or
Pulver Media though.

Within this community I think the service we can be happy for is FWD
because so many people have tested asterisk using it and some even
came to installing asterisk by starting with FWD and getting hooked.
That's what happend to me.

Hello,

Just to help clarify the relationship between Astricon and Pulver,
here is an email I received last month from the COO of Pulvermedia:



As you may be aware, Pulvermedia has partnered with Digium to produce
their annual gathering of the Asterisk Open Source Telephony
community, otherwise known as AstriCon. Now in its 5th year, AstriCon
2008 will take place in Glendale, Arizona on September 23rd through
the 25th. If selling products or services in the exploding open
source IP telephony market is part of your company's growth strategy,
you need to tap into and leverage the audience that will be at
AstriCon.

Please visit the AstriCon 2008 web site to learn more at – www.astricon.net

This week marks the official opening of the event floor, for companies
who wish to reserve space, sponsorships and event marketing
opportunities. Don't miss this limited opportunity to join us in
September; space and sponsorships are in short supply so please
contact me today to secure your presence at AstriCon 2008.



I have emailed him a few times and received no response in 4 weeks so
I don't really know what to think at this time.

MATT---


Here is the one I got a month or so ago also, notice no mention of
Pulver in the email:

Dear Former AstriCon Speaker,

As a past participant and speaker at the wildly popular AstriCon, the
Asterisk open source community conference, we are looking to get a
jump start on this year's event to make it an even better and more
relevant to our developers and users.

We want to know what you want to see at AstriCon 08, scheduled for
September 22 - 25, 2008 in Glendale, Arizona. We've already put the
wheels in motion to develop the ultimate learning experience, covering
the most important topics and issues to the open source community. We
also want to feature the best speakers to be found. Your suggestions
are important.

AstriCon provides a wealth of information for those who are getting
started with Asterisk, as well as those who have already discovered
the power of open source telephony. AstriCon is the only face-to-face
gathering for the Asterisk community - a diverse group of users,
developers, entrepreneurs, and other fans. As you're already aware,
it's a great place to get together, share ideas, experiences, pitfalls
and the success that open source offers us all.

If you would, please kindly respond with your thoughts on topics,
trends, development and business issues that matter. It can be as
brief as a title suggestion or as in depth as a formal speaking
proposal. All submissions will be taken into consideration.

And if you would like to join us and speak again, please let us know.
If not, perhaps you've recently heard and would like to recommend a
compelling speaker on open source, or know of someone who has made
"rock star" status that we should recruit to join us.

Nowhere will you find a greater mix of individuals. From code gurus to
venture capitalists to social activists, AstriCon brings together an
astounding and vibrant mixture of perspectives, goals and outlooks.
From organized group meetings to all-night coding sessions in the Code
Zone, AstriCon is the place to connect with the Asterisk community.

Please send your suggestions as soon as possible. We were looking to
start putting together our schedule by mid-February. Please send any
suggestions, titles, etc to info@astricon.net. Let us know your
thoughts. You can help make this the ultimate experience of the year.

Sincerely,

Steve Sokol Lisa King
AstriCon Co-Found Event Coordinator
Honorary Chairman AstriCon

Attachment

Thanks
Steve Totaro

In any case I would assume that if Pulvermedia does go under (which I
hope not) Digium will find another company to partner with,
though that may not save this years show.

If Pulvermedia does go under, Digium will continue to have AstriCon --
we'll run it ourselves. As one of the people that came from the Sokol
and Associates team, I have firsthand knowledge of what it takes to run
the show, and I'm sure we can make it a successful event by ourselves in
the event that Pulvermedia goes out of business.

No, it is not enough. A simple statement from one of the Adtran Guys,
Jared Smith, or even Mark Spencer would quickly dispell this
misinformation or FUD.

Sorry for the slow response, guys... I spent the entire weekend away
from email. (Lucky me!)

Yes, AstriCon will continue to be held, no matter what happens with
Pulvermedia. Just so that everyone is on the same page, let me clarify
a few things.

This will (would have been?) the first year that Pulvermedia was
handling AstriCon. Before then, it was done by Sokol and Associates.
(Well, last year we were formally part of Digium by the time the show
rolled around, but the same Sokol crew did the vast majority of the
work... You get the idea.)

I still haven't heard one way or the other what's happening with
Pulvermedia, but assuming for a minute that they do fold up shop, I have
no doubt whatsoever in Digium's ability to run with the show and make it
very successful. I think our track record speaks quite well for itself.
