I really don't understand the complaint. Fonality gets a $5 mil.
investment for building its own system on top of Asterisk -- no
complaint. But Mark & Co. can't get VC for their own business /
enterprise / support architecture?
Everything that "we-all" is contributing is part of the open source
Asterisk system, which Mark dreamed up and which continues to be an
unbelievably exciting piece of software.
One day soon I hope programmers who work for me will contribute to the
code base. The fact that Digium just got $13.7 mil. to keep doing what
they're doing merely ensures that we who use the open-source base will
all be benefiting from a stable and growing team of professionals
pushing the project forward.
Congrats, Digium. I for one am delighted, and look forward to joining
the "fools."
The original post must be the biggest troll in history.
I think all of us are thankful for having Asterisk. Infact, I'm glad
that Digium is getting good $$ out of it (apart from all the hardware
sales) since many of us can't afford to pay Mark the sort of money he
deserves for his time spent writing Asterisk. I know Asterisk has
earned me a few bucks from the various installations I've done, so I'm
happy to hear this bit of news.
Of course, Asterisk is a community-supported project so my thanks also
goes to all the people that have made it what it is today. Maybe one
day soon I will be able to contribute to it (apart from a few Wiki
additions I've done).
Cheers,
Gonzalo
