We all have families to feed. Unlike some open source projects, FreeSWITCH is not funded by millions of dollars of funding, every bit of funding comes from people using FreeSWITCH and contracting the FreeSWITCH Team to help them deploy, configure, or enhance the software. I can’t think of anyone of the supporters that has wanted to keep any code additions out of tree.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'>So even if you don’t have a huge budget you can still help out Anthony, Brian, Mike, Me, and William.
