Pulvermedia Acquires Open Source Telephony Magazine; Announces Plans to
Host Digium Asterisk World With VON 2008 Europe in Amsterdam
BOSTON, Oct. 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Pulvermedia today announced two open
source initiatives, with the purchase of Open Source Telephony Magazine,
and with an extended partnership with Digium to bring the Digium/Asterisk
World event to VON Europe Amsterdam, in June of 2008.
Pulvermedia has been working with Digium throughout 2007 to plan,
promote and launch the Digium/Asterisk World event next week at Fall VON in
Boston. Pre-registered attendance has exceeded initial expectations, and
the event has played a key role in the overall success of the Fall VON
program. As a result, Pulvermedia and Digium plan to bring the
Digium/Asterisk World event to Europe, as part of the VON program in
Amsterdam, and the two companies will also host a Digium/Asterisk World
event in San Jose as part of Spring VON, in March of 2008.
With millions of downloaded versions of Asterisk all over the world,
open source telephony has become the latest source of telephony growth and
innovation. Digium/Asterisk World brings the leading open source
influencers, developers, vendors, resellers and end-users to VON to conduct
business, and to discuss the current and future trends affecting open
source development.
"Open source has proven itself to be a significant player in the
telecommunications space, and we'll continue to provide open source
training and education programs at VON," said Chief Operating Officer of
Pulvermedia events, Christopher Erb. "Our partnership with Digium is a
longstanding and successful one, and we're looking forward to continued
efforts together in the year ahead."
Pulvermedia also announced today it has purchased Open Source Telephony
Magazine. OST is the only publication dedicated exclusively to covering the
rapidly changing world of free and open source telephony software and
hardware. VON Publishing will continue the OST tradition of covering all
aspects of open source communications: technical, commercial, social and
legal. OST subscribers will begin receiving VON Magazine this month, and
OST advertisers will reach this active and growing community through VON
Magazine and VON Focus.
