[asterisk-users] Mark Spencer: Digium is Growing Up (VONMAG)

[Steve Totaro]

The is the real meat of the article is that the Microsoft tsunami is 
coming, no it wont be like the iPhone, it will be real and hard hitting 
and unlike a tsunami, it will continue to get stronger.

"Digium’s strategy is fairly straightforward. Write more code, package 
Asterisk better, educate users and resellers, and be educated by users 
and resellers. The last item is the most important, because users and 
resellers will tell Digium what they want to provide new product ideas 
and new product direction.'

I am just not sure that the way Digium is locking "resellers" into 
exclusivity deals and doling out "approved" resellers through their GUI 
and Netxusa is the proper direction for an Open Source product to go. 
That is my feedback as far as product direction.

Thanks,
Steve Totaro
