Astricon: Has Asterisk Gone Mainstream?
,----[ Quote ]
| When the Astricon conference kicks off Oct. 13 in
| Glendale, Ariz., The VAR Guy will be checking to see if
| Asterisk â the open source IP PBX â is ready for
| mainstream VARs and solutions providers. Actually, The VAR
| Guy thinks he already knows the answer to that question.
| Hereâs why.

Free as in Speech vs. Free as in Beer, Redux
,----[ Quote ]
| Take a look in any data center anywhere in the world, and | you may well find free software running there. Linux, in
| particular, has done extraordinarily well for itself
| during the past decade, popping up in places that would
| have been unimaginable just a few years ago.
|
| But why? "Well it's bound to be popular isn't it?" you'll
| hear the non-tech savvy say. "Everyone loves something
| that's free." And that's your cue to launch into the whole
| spiel about "free as in beer," and "free as in speech."
| About how software wants to be free. And about how, as the
| Free Software Foundation puts it, "we call this free
| software because the user is free. Free software is the
| foundation of a learning society â where the tools we all
| use are free to share, study and modify."
|
| We can also point out if we want to â or if we're
| Microsoft â that Linux and other free software usually
| isn't always free as in beer. Money often changes hands â
| Red Hat and Novell are testament to that â even if
| strictly speaking what you're paying for is called a
| support contract or a maintenance subscription.

| Personally I'd recommend taking an Asterisk Fast Start course to get you up and
| running, but if you fancy trying out Asterisk in the lab to see if it might be
| suitable for your organization here's what you need to know to start.
