Hi, My apologies for those on the channel who may take offense to this, atleast the ones to whom it was not aimed, but the fact is that after making a simple enquiry on the IRC channel I was in absolute shock...
I asked one simple question, are there any known issues with the zaptel modules on 2.6, was given some very sensible advice to upgrade my mod utils, which I did. I asked if anyone had any other ideas, at which point things got pretty abusive. Now the point is that without evening establishing if I was just wasting time hassling developers into fixing my "problems" for me (I've been on the end of enough of that recently to know how annoying it is), I was being excluded from evening helping out. That is rather an odd attitude for advocates of an open source project to express. I've been following asterisk developement for a long time, and playing with it at home. Recently I have been able to deploy it in a commerial VoIP (SIP) services that I have developed for a client. I am consequently therefore exteremely greatful to *, and cosider it not just a duty, but also an honour to be able to give something back. In 6 years of writing and contributing to Free Software project, I have simply never come across the attitude that I met on that channel. And regardless of the rights or wrongs of it, it is the phrase "#asterisk" I am always going to remember for it, not the specific people involved. By all means dismiss me as an arrogant arse, a prima donna, or whatever else you care to think of. I meant nothing more by that statement than good old fashioned sarcasm.
