Asterisk an under-appreciated Open Source Success Story
,----[ Quote ]
| It seems a bit like the early days of things like Perl and Linux,
| ^^^^^
| when they were happening under the radar, known to all the hands-on
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
| practitioners in the industry, but not covered much by the
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
| mainstream press.
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
| Book sales are similar too :-) For the 15 months since it
| was published, Asterisk: The Future of Telephony has been
| #12 on our list of O'Reilly bestsellers. So like Perl and
| Linux before it, Asterisk is getting uptake ahead of its
| recognition by the mainstream.
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
