Funny you mention this. Many people report that the way the FS community refers to Asterisk in docs/wikis/irc/whatever makes the FS camp seem *less* welcoming to them. After all, they identify as Asterisk Users and take the criticism as being kinda harsh. Most of them acknowledge the shortcomings of Asterisk but are put off when someone else points them out. It's crazy, I know. The thing is, I remember thinking that too. After getting to know FS better, I didn't notice it as much. Nobody likes to hear their baby is ugly --even if they know it is. At our session, and in general, I've noticed people are more interested in hearing about FS when you don't make direct comparisons to Asterisk. Besides, FS stands on it's own merit. Just what I've observed *and* my 2 additional cents.
