Digium AstriCon 2009 date, place set

While the company hasn't sent out an official press release, Digium has its web page up for AstriCon 2009. Previous attendees should be pleased at the venue it has chosen, while new attendees will likely care more about hearing the latest and greatest in Asterisk news and knowledge than partying in the Phoenix 'burbs.

AstriCon 2009 will be held Oct. 13-15, 2009, at the Renaissance Glendale Hotel, in Glendale, Ariz. It will be the third straight year the event will be held in the Phoenix, Ariz., area and the second year at the Glendale Hotel. Football junkies can walk next door to look at the Phoenix Cardinals stadium.

However we doubt most attendees will care about the stadium and will be more interested in interacting with their peers in the open source community, catching up with the Asterisk programming team, and finding out if Mark Spencer is still dating Paris Hilton.

And, hey, if you hear anything about a Digium announcement at the show, we'd appreciate any insider tips on Big News you can give us prior to the start of the session; Digium likes to make key announcements at its developer conferences. Two years ago, Digium announced the acquisition of Switchvox.  Last year, it was the Skype/Digium partnership, so we tend to think Digium wants to keep its streak going.
