Asterisk Testing

See the original post on the asterisk-dev list. Greetings, I think we can do a much better job at testing within the Asterisk project and I suspect you do, too. The vast install base and wide variety of uses gets us very good feedback. However, it is clear that we can do better within the development community at improving the quality of the code before it makes it out in any type of release (beta, RC, or full release).

Asterisk Developers European Meet-Up

John Todd originally posted this message to the asterisk-dev mailing list. I will be attending, and would love to see you there! -– [Note: Please pass this note along to European developers who you may know are not actively scanning the -dev list!] The European Asterisk development community may be the largest number of active participants on a per-continent basis, depending on how the measurement is done. There have been a few meetings of Asterisk developers in Europe over the last ten years, but recently there has not been a planned get-together of developers like has been arranged at AstriDevCon (following Astricon) in North America.
