Short Biography
My main goal for volunteering is to get Asterisk back in to Debian -- after missing out on Bookworm and Trixie -- on as many architectures as possible, with ample sample libraries and relevant configurations.
The excerpt below is from my profile for my talk at DebConf25 (https://debconf25.debconf.org/talks/147-preseed-your-pbx-for-fun-and-profit/):
"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, mostly as a solopreneur. Last year, he 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 actively involved with Sangoma's switch from CentOS to Debian GNU/Linux as the base operating system for the FreePBX-centric suite of telephony appliances across on-prem, hybrid and cloud deployments; with a particular interest in preseeds and ISO production. When working, he prefers standing at his self-made desk; but if you can catch him outside between trail runs, then you'll probably find him squatting slav in the garden, or maybe playing pickleball with his wife and kids."
