The one and a half day presence in Chicago was surprising good for Kamailio and SER – people started to get the real value of the project and catch up with latest features.

Moreover, the first day had a lot of presentation with Kamailio and SER (see agenda at: http://www.cluecon.com/schedule):

• Phillip Zimmermann – did his demo with iptel.org sip service
• Mahesh Paolini-Subramanya – a clould based system for telephony
• Scott Burkett – back-end platform for web telephony
• Robin Rodrigues – several nice examples using upcoming 3.1 addition: embedded http server
• Irv Shapiro – ifbyphone platform – programmable telephony applications
• I (Daniel-Constantin Mierla) ended the list (the link above), no much left for me to say , but I enjoyed chatting before a lot with folks in the breaks

Hopefully these presentations will be soon on event’s site. We will try to publish more about each one, they were interesting use cases.
