[October 12, 2008] Digium Launches Asterisk Fast Start Training Tweet (Wireless News Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Digium, creator and primary developer of Asterisk, an open source telephony platform, announced a new training course - Asterisk Fast Start. According to the company, the goal of the course is to give participants an introduction to Asterisk covering such topics as installation, configuration and the basic operation of Asterisk. Participants do not need a background in Linux, telephony or Asterisk to participate. The course will take participants through all the steps from a freshly installed Linux computer to a fully configured and working Asterisk implementation. Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to: - Install and run Asterisk on any computer and act as an Asterisk administrator; - Configure Asterisk to deliver basic PBX functionality including basic call routing, voice mail and directory services; - Describe the telephony connections that Asterisk supports and identify the necessary Digium hardware to support such connectivity. "We are pleased to offer an intensive, introductory overview to Asterisk - the most widely used open source telephony project," said Rod Montgomery, director of services for Digium. "We've asked David Duffett of TeleSpeak, Ltd., an Authorized Training Partner in the United Kingdom, to create Asterisk Fast Start in response to requests from the Asterisk community for an introductory offering. This new course complements our current training offerings that are geared toward every level of expertise."
