Watch Hans Fugal present SER to the masses:
Hans Fugal will be speaking on June 6 at the SLC library (7:00pm). The title of his presentation is: "(Open)SER and MediaProxy: Bugspray for NATs"
This should be very interesting for a variety of reasons, especially for those who might want to scale.

Those of you running large operations might want to take a look at this new provider. I started working with them while they were still in Canada and was very impressed with their product. Now they are working with a Tier 1 carrier based in the USA. The traffic goes out over PRIs and the call quality is fantastic. Calls are routed via an SER based platform (g729, g711) to the nearest PSTN gateway. I will bring a phone to the next meeting so folks can try it out. I twisted Vijay's arm into giving us a discount. the price is $0.0100 6/6 (0-50,000 minutes/mo.) US and Canada for UTAUGers. Use this ticket # AT05012006-US48-01 for the discount.

Official schedule of events and activities
does anybody have a live baby seal or two they could bring?
Does anybody know how to type the upside down "!" like they have in Spanish? It would be great to be able to use those so people know the sentence needs emphasis before they finish reading it. Otherwise, especially with long sentences, it is too late by the end of the sentence.
The April UTUAG meeting is tonight. Bring some pinto beans, macaroni, glitter, construction paper, and some Elmer's glue. We will be writing to our congresspeople about net neutrality. In addition to that, we will be hearing from Jared Smith. Jared has recently returned from VON. In case you didn't notice the earlier announcement, he was even photographed at VON:
Jared has returned triumphant with all the secret VOIP codes that only the big VOIP providers know. Don't miss it!
UTAUG Meeting tomorrow at the SLC library downtown at 7:00PM. I forsee problems down the road with these announcements. Each time I make an announcement I want to emphasize the importance of the announcement with "*" and "!" characters and all caps. however, if all the announcements are like this, even really important announcements no longer stand out. If anybody has any suggestions, I am all ears.
