Chris Maj is quick to answer the phone after twenty years of exploring telecommunications, programming dial plans, and satisfying customers in the Voice over Internet Protocol space. Last year, Chris joined the steady hands on deck at Sangoma as the Open Source Solutions Advocate, helping to lead Open Source development and community engagement inside both the Asterisk project and the FreePBX project code repositories. He is looking forward to his second year as AstriCon MC and the first year in a long while that the conference is being held west of the Mississippi River - now as part of SCaLE. While inside, he's probably standing at his desk in Denver, often next to a roll-up banner of the FreePBX mascot Tango the frog; outside, you might catch him at various elevations throughout Colorado, occasionally within reach of actual live frogs.
