Ring, ring,
beep, beep!
Tango the FreePBX frog is turning 17, hopping in the van and driving West to AstriCon 2026 for 4 FreePBX talks 🐸🚐🤠🌴
Tango celebrates bowl games en route
This frog is having some serious fun ahead of the AstriCon conference in California from March 5-6, 2026, knowing that it is one of the lowest prices in years thanks to a change in venue.
Tango meets up with Kit and Tux
As part of the Southern California Linux Exposition (SCaLE 23x), “North America’s largest community-run open source conference”, your 4-day early bird pass price is $130 and includes 2 full days of AstriCon on March 5-6, followed by 2 days of wider SCaLE presentations on March 7-8, plus t-shirts, stickers and more!

In-person training discount code NEWYEAR throwback to 2009
While looking through the archives, it turns out that what used to be the blog, was actually the community forum — many, many years ago. These were the early tadpole days of Tango the frog, our beloved FreePBX mascot. At the bottom of the forum/blog New Years’ post from 2009 — linked previously at the start of today’s January 12, 2026 post — was mentioned some in-person training, along with a discount code to save $500 off! Here’s that pertinent part of the post, modified only slightly to:
- change dates
- update names
- adjust spelling
