I'll post my semi-annual request for press contacts. If you have an Asterisk installation that matches one or more of these adjectives:
- enterprise-oriented - government-oriented - education-oriented - unique - clever - large - complex ...we would be interested in having you talk with the press! We at Digium keep a list of people who wouldn't mind talking to the press on their open-source Asterisk installations, because we get inquiries all the time about different things. "We want to talk to people who are using Asterisk to do _________!" is what we get, and it's great to be able to have a pocket-full of people who meet the criteria who don't mind spending a bit of time talking about how they use Asterisk to solve a particular task. Remember: Asterisk and all open-source projects have almost zero press other than what YOU can help with. We're competing with tens (hundreds?) of millions of dollars in press and marketing that is spent by proprietary vendors. The press is very, very interested in hearing about Asterisk, but we don't have a giant list of OSS Asterisk users from which we can cherry-pick names, or offer discounts on yearly subscription fees (because there aren't any!) to help out with press interviews, etc. Help the project, help yourself - put your name on the list! If you've already filled out this form, no need to again - you're on the list, and if there is a press inquiry that seems to be a good match, we'll pass them to you! If you're an integrator, please don't fill out the form - have your customers fill out the form - press folks are always looking for end users, not integrators. http://bit.ly/asterisk-press JT --- John Todd email:[email protected] Digium, Inc. | Asterisk Open Source Community Director 445 Jan Davis Drive NW - Huntsville AL 35806 - USA direct: +1-256-428-6083 http://www.digium.com/ -- _____________________________________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?
