of this annual event.

I'd like to thank my wife Jill and my kids, Eric and Abbi, who were in grade school when this project started and are now grown up. I'd also like to thank everyone who took the time to try FreeSWITCH and submit feedback. I finally thank my coauthor Giovanni Maruzzelli for working on this book.

Giovanni Maruzzelli (gmaruzz@OpenTelecom.IT) is heavily engaged with
FreeSWITCH. In it, he wrote a couple of endpoint modules, and he is specialized
in industrial grade deployments and solutions. He's the curator and coauthor of
FreeSWITCH 1.6 Cookbook (Packt Publishing, 2015), and of Mastering FreeSWITCH (Packt Publishing, 2016)

He's a consultant in the telecommunications sector, developing software and
conducting training courses for FreeSWITCH, SIP, WebRTC, Kamailio, and OpenSIPS.
As an Internet technology pioneer, he was the cofounder of Italia Online in 1996,
which was the most popular Italian portal and consumer ISP. Also, he was the
architect of its Internet technologies Italia Online (IOL). Back then, Giovanni
was the supervisor of Internet operations and the architect of the first engine
for paid access to il Sole 24 Ore, the most-read financial newspaper in
Italy, and its databases (migrated from the mainframe). After that, he was the
CEO of the venture capital-funded company Matrice, developing telemail unified
messaging and multiple-language phone access to e-mail (text to speech). He was
also the CTO of the incubator-funded company Open4, an open source managed
applications provider. For 2 years, Giovanni worked in Serbia as an Internet and
telecommunications investment expert for IFC, an arm of the World Bank.

Since 2005, he has been based in Italy, and he serves ICT and telecommunication
companies worldwide.

I'd like to thank the Open Source VoIP and RTC Community (that's our ecosystem, where FreeSWITCH is thriving because of the others). The whole FreeSWITCH Community, and each single individual that day in and day out tests, documents, and helps each other in implementing FreeSWITCH.

And I like to thank Tony, Brian, Mike, Ken, Italo, and Seven for the incredible efforts they put into FreeSWITCH, and for the incredible results those efforts bears for us all to enjoy. Thanks my guys!

Anthony Minessale II, you get a special personal thank you for bearing your role with so much grace.
