Yup, the good folks at Fonality felt compelled to give me a nice new title that better reflects what I actually do at Fonality. I am responsible for the trixbox CE products line, the FtOCC training, the trixbox web properties, and am the liason between the company and the trixbox community. It’s what I have [...]
