[asterisk-biz] IT Expo, Miami FL win $250 + More

[John Todd]

This is untrue.  Digium has not paid/bribed/compensated anyone for  
testimonials or case studies, and I am disappointed that this  
misinformation went unchallenged for so long.  I'm uncertain where the  
disconnect is in this comment but it is certainly not valid, and I  
hope we can discuss privately how this misconception arose.

We have an enthusiastic and unpaid list of Asterisk users for both the  
Open Source versions as well as for Digium cards/modules/packaged  
solutions who have volunteered for testimonials and case studies which  
we publish both for the advancement of Open Source Asterisk and also  
for Digium's products, depending on what the customer is using.  We  
have not and do not offer compensation for those users or customers in  
exchange for their words about Asterisk or Digium's offerings, though  
perhaps I will buy them a beer at Astricon.

(Sorry that I took so long to publish a reply, but I missed this  
message due to a hectic conference schedule and am slowly catching up.)
