MySQL Me Harder

Yes, this was the announcement title from Ivan today as he pushed out the door the return of MySQL support in Freeside. Now all those people who have hesitated to try out freeside from lack of PostgreSQL experience, or simply wanting unification in their MySQL infrastructure can get started. The notes for installation from Ivan are:

You’ll need DBIx::DBSchema 0.35 from CPAN or

and FREESIDE_1_7_BRANCH (or HEAD):

Last Minute Asterisk

As a last minute trip, I’ll be heading out Wednesday to Astricon to assist Ivan in presenting Freeside to the Asterisk community. Hopefully we’ll be able to help a lot of people and companies understand how their billing needs are already met with open source.

Oh, and the hackathon time will be really nice too. Thanks to jsmith and sisd for helping me out with the trip. If you want to learn about how to bill, or even account for Asterisk calls with open source, look us up, we’ll be featured in the Open Source Showcase.

Don’t hurt the web

At OSCON I saw a new firefox ad campaign that I just loved. Behold, the power of the eyes.

I have a nice large poster of this at work now, and we will hopefully be getting some for the UTOS attendees.
