Greetings, As some of you are aware, we, the Kickstand Project, are working to build a distributed ACD (Automatic Call Distribution aka Queues) for ARI (Asterisk REST Interface). We call the application Payload[1] and it happens to be written in python. We are licencing Payload under Apache 2.0 and are planning for an open source development model. With that in mind, I'd like to offer an open invite to our developer submit we plan to have in Ottawa, Ontario. We are still in the early phase of planning but right now we are aiming to have a 2-day summit on March 1-2 2014. We currently have a location in mind, but space is limited. This leads to the purpose of the email. If you are interested in developing / using / supporting a distributed ACD for ARI, please indicate your willingness to attend (either public or private). We plan on firming things up in the next few weeks and sending out an official announcement in the new year. This will give us approximately 2 months to the summit. Thanks for your interest! -- The Kickstand Project Team [1] https://github.com/kickstandproject/payload [2] http://wiki.kickstand-project.org/Kickstand%20Project%20Summit%20March%202014 -- Paul Belanger | PolyBeacon, Inc.
