[asterisk-dev] open letter

[Kai Ober]

Frank,
this were my first thougts, why the hell does he say something like this 
on asterisk and doues not say whats wrong!
I'm not convinced, that asterisk is perfect, as Mr Gaillac is as well.
but i try "to make it better"  day by day, doing bug reports and even 
writing own code
(func_math). I'm not a member of the asterisk community that long (5 
month or sth like this)
but I enjoy asterisk as much as i hate it ;)

so
Dear Mr Harry Gaillac,
don't let us die without knowing why you left us ;)
plz tell us whats wrong with asterisk.

Kind regards
Kai Ober

(Frank, and all the others, i hope it was in your sense what i wrote)
