[Freeswitch-users] Web page thoughts

[Anthony Minessale]

One important thing is that if we go around following everything everybody
else says
we become a follower in our field.

I have had numerous people tell me what to do in the code, what to name
things, what to eat for breakfast.
Plain and simple, I will choose what to put on our website, when to put it
there and what it says.

You are welcome to your own opinion.  I have no problem with it.  If you say
something I like we may
even listen.  Feel free to comment on anything else you find when browsing
our community.

BUT,

If you have no sense of humor, you will not make it far in the open source
telecom industry.

If you want a more professional looking site, we do have some guys in suits
on our FreeSWITCH Solutions site.
