[asterisk-biz] 4PSA VoipNow 1.4 demo - some explanations

[Steve Totaro]

You guys have to chill on the sex appeal thing.  The demo video was
beyond mild.  You all act like you have never seen a woman before.  Just
because there is a female that isn't hard on the eyes does not it
"erotic".  You guys need to unplug from time to time and get out more.  

 

Now this was an "erotic" commercial with some real sex appeal

Paul:

 

There is nothing wrong with making your product into a commercial
product.  You are correct that many customers need to have a simple
method of installation and support.

 

Lets face it the sex appeal doesn't hurt and it will help sell your
product.  

 

I wilsh you the best.

 

 

Steve

I didn't see it as an attempt to use sex appeal to sell. I see it as a 
demo of an office worker installing the product. Many women would be
able to identify with her in that regard.

Does your 12 year old understand the telephony needs of the typical 
business?

Wrong. With commercial software I often have to buy some kind of
"developer kit" to extend or modify it. Because I don't have full
source, I am often still limited. With open source the customer is not 
paying for that or many hours spent reverse engineering a commercial
product.
