Is there an ETA on a release of intended training topics / sketch of agenda? I'd like to make a pitch to management to try to offset the costs, and being able to relate specific topics to job function would be helpful.

I've heard that several FreePBX / VoIP / PBX topics are on the docket. Maybe @JaredBusch can release some of the topic info with more specifics as that is his wheelhouse.
I think that @Stuka is talking storage.
I know that @art_of_shred and myself are presenting on "The State of the Art in System Administration".
Good chance that @QuixoticJeremy is presenting on modern desktop administration practices.

@scottalanmiller I could probably sell this alone with VoIP.
As, after this documentation stuff, that's the next big project. -

Ticket purchased and hotel booked. Next is the flight search
Sweet!
I guess I really should get that stuff handled as I have neither purchased my ticket nor looked at rooms.
Anyone want a roommate?
Roommate? - You?
No thanks.. Moderating you on ML is enough for me.

Sorry to hear this...
Though - at this moment, I am uncertain I will be able to as well....

Umm, gods I hope not.. I did tell @Minion-Queen that I could do quite a few on the various parts of the topic, I think someone needs to call me today sometime....

I need this if I'm going to try a last min attendance.

@JaredBusch said in MangoCon 2017:
I think @Minion-Queen needs to poke her server team.
The site is on ASO but not using SSL.
ASO makes that a pain. The new site is on Hostadillo but hasn't been flipped over yet.

Well your management wont care about my sessions on VoIP.

They will when I say, "this conference will help solidify my knowledge about what needs to be done for a project that'll save us about $500 - $600 / month."

A 3-month ROI for an annual conference? Should definitely be a win-win.

All registered. See you guys in a couple of months.

Well in my specific case they won't - there's already a thread on here where ML's own Scott Alan Miller agreed that the pre-existing equipment made moving to FOSS phone system not financially the way to go.
I'm currently in a position to look at switching systems again. I have 50 or so digital handsets on a 20 yr old Inter-tel setup. The phones work for the most part. I con convert the main brain to all SIP, with a digital convertor connection for around $6K. Converting all of those phones to VOIP, plus the required cabling changes would cost me at least $18K. Everything else stays the same.
Question for you - assuming you already have a phone system in place, how are you planning on saving $5-600/month?
I switched from a T1 to SIP trunks and saved around $300/month, but that had zero to do with the PBX system.If you're greenfield, or have to replace all the phones anyways - then it's easy to go all new VOIP phones and something like FreePBX, very little licensing fees, and the phones had to be replaced anyhow, so that part is a wash.
But I'm rather curious where your monthly savings comes in?
