Asterisk-Java

The cool aussi guys at Atlassian had another FedEx day. One of the plugins for their issue tracker JIRA they implemented is JIRA Caller ID. Though JIRA is mainly used to track issues in software development projects this is by far not the ... [More] only way to use the tool. JIRA is used to track support requests, project issues and Atlassian even uses it to track candidates in their recruitment process. Issues can be entered directly through their web UI, they can result from incoming emails and of course phone calls. So they had the following idea: Why not improve JIRA's abilities as a tool for capturing and responding to telephone enquiries? Most calls include Caller ID, showing the called party the caller's telephone number. Why not use this information to automatically retrieve the caller's information in JIRA, saving time and frustration for both parties? The solution they came up with extracts the Caller ID from the current call and finds the corresponding JIRA user so you can easily access the the caller's profile from which you can search for his open issues. In addition to that the new plugin saves a call history complete with recordings of answered calls: The plugin will soon be publicly available from Atlassian's plugin library. For now you can get the details from Adrian Hempel's blog entry: JIRA Caller ID. [Less]

Patrick has joined our small team of developers and will help us improve the Live API which is the part of Asterisk-Java we will focus on for our 1.0 release: While checking for new versions I noticed the "new" Live-API. I am really pleased ... [More] for that feature. but I miss some things. For example a function to retrieve the logged in/out agents for a queue. My first approach was to extend asterisk-java for my own, but I would like to offer my participation on asterisk java development. So welcome again, Patrick, and thanks for your support! [Less]
