Easing into Open Source
,----[ Quote ]
| VOIP (voice over IP) is another hot area for open source. Digium and Fonality
| are good examples, and both base their products and services on Asterisk's
| open-source PBX.
|
| "These applications fit the bill for addressing what we call the complexity
| conundrum. That is, they are typically simple and easy enough to deploy that
| users can get running on their own," Lyman said. But at the same time, Lyman
| warned that when users start getting into larger deployments and higher-level
| features, they may need support from a commercial vendor.

Asterisk awakens open source love in telecom entrepreneur
,----[ Quote ]
| Fribush's previous company produced Web telephony software for the online
| dating industry. When that business was sold in 2006, he started looking for
| his next project and noticed an interesting trend. "We were looking at the
| Asterisk movement, and we started looking at some of the momentum," Fribush
| says. "It was a big disrupter. And we thought that one of the missing pieces
| was a turnkey solution where the application was actually hosted." Fribush
| partnered with his friend Michael Rand to launch Aretta
| Communications. "That's really the start of my open source background. I've
| really always been a Microsoft guy. You get converted when you see the power
| of open source tools. Now it is the majority of our infrastructure."

Digium preps Asterisk Linux distribution
,----[ Quote ]
| "We developed our own GUI [which is] similar to Trixbox [distribution],
| but the purpose of AsteriskNow is to provide a distribution built
| around Asterisk technology so people can use it without the GUI," he
| said. "The GUI is the same as the Asterisk Appliance that looks
| like a Linksys router that runs Asterisk and has analogue ports."
