In keeping with Rhino’s goal to be OPEN and part of the community, we announced back in January that we would start shipping a multitude of Asterisk based distributions. Today Rhino shipped out our first Ceros with PBX in a Flash.

Pbx in a flash entered into the game not too long ago built by Joe Roper and distributed by Ward Mundy of Nerd Vittles. The distribution has gained a foothold and a following that is based on the fans of Ward Mundy and his Asterisk scripts. The First PBX in a Flash Ceros is on its Way to Oregon and we hope there will be many more shipping. You may also notice that this isn’t the Ceros you may be familiar with. After months of design changes the Ceros has been given an extreme makeover. Keep an eye out for the Official announcement of the new, more attractive Ceros.

I just got back after spending two days in beautiful Charleston, SC. at the FreePBX training event. I met many great people from the community and other industry suppliers such as Aastra and Snom. I met David (CEO) of Sangoma and Jared (Community Relations Manager) from Digium. There were quite a few other folks you may know like Robert Keller, Greg MacLellan (FreePBX), Philipe (FreePBX), Tony and Ethan (Scmoozecom), Joe Roper (PBX in a Flash and A2Billing), and so many more great people. Just meeting our friends in theindustry was fun enough, the training was the bonus. There was much covered in the training sessions, and I personally spoke on the subject of “T1″. Rhino gave away some door prizes (boards) and overall, with this being the first training session for FreePBX, I give this event a 9 out of a possible 10. I imagine that the next one will be off the charts, and I recommend to anyone that wants FreePBX training with emphasis on marketing Asterisk to your customers to attend this great event. I hear that the next one will be on the West Coast, perhaps Las Vegas. I have attached some photos from the event. Rhino is a proud member of the community and is a proud sponsor and participant of these community events.
 

Did you know about the FreePBX training coming at the end of the month? If you have already registered or are lucky enough to get the last slot,  in addition to FreePBX training there will be some other cool stuff.

Okay so lets drop some names:

Philippe (FreePBX)

Tony lewis (schmooze)

Ward Mundy (Nerd vittles)

Tom King (PBX in a flash)

Joe Roper (ConcordIAX/A2Billing)

There are many more, these folks have made an impression in the community and they will all be part of this event. I will also be there as an ambassador for Rhino. There will be Rhino door prizes and much more. I think this event will truly be beneficial to all who are lucky enough to have made it in. There is 1 day left and 1 slot left will it be yours? I hope to see you there.

We just got word that we were named one of the best of show winners for TMC IT expo 2008.

Some of you may have seen Jim out there in Florida showing off some of Rhino’s New toys. Keep your eyes open because there are going to be some awesome new products releasing this year and all will have the great quality and support you expect from Rhino.
