Hi
The latest new about the Open Source Asterisk PBX is now that mister
Spencer himself has forbidden Allison to work with any other open
source project than Asterisk. I don't know about the openness in such
an action. This sounds more like the ways Microsoft and other large
monopolists use to gain control over the market.
Is this really what the so-called "open" asterisk-makers Digium
should be doing? Is it only I, or is this just plain old monopolist
arrogance which should not combine with GPL?
Thanks for any input
roy

Just so we're clear: Mark left the decision up to me, and being an
ethical person, I decided I can't work for both of you. (Imagine
if I continued to work for you and never told Mark, and it got
back to him -- bad craziness. And karma! Don't even get me started
on that.) It kills me to turn work down, it pains me to not work
for you anymore, as you're a hoot and we get along great. However,
I have a long-standing relationship with Digium, they've been
incredibly good to me; so to me it's a no-brainer. It wouldn't be
a smart decision to keep both going.
Sorry to leave you in a lurch! I'm sure you'll find some very
capable voice talent to take over, and I'm sure you'll be
successful at whatever you do.

Allison,
I'm greatly disappointed that you're going to let Mark and gang
back you into a corner like this. This is the exact reason I'm
not really associated with the project anymore. I was given an
ultimatum that I didn't think was fair to ask of someone. I'll
not go into details but now I'll have to scout a voice talent to
re-record the many prompts we already have so they all match.
This is why personal feelings must never cross business
relationships. It's been good. :(
Thanks,
Brian West
