Dear FreeSWITCHers,<div><br></div><div>With the release date of 1.8 fast approaching and our annual developer meeting is all next week. I have to ask that you the FreeSWITCH community to step up and help us next week. I thank everyone that has already contributed, but we've fallen short of our goal. </div><div><br></div><div>I would like to remind everyone how much time and effort it takes to mange and maintain this project. We the core team have spent countless hours to bringing you FreeSWITCH at the low low price of $0.00 and we are working diligently to keep it that way. </div><div><br></div><div>Unfortunately the power company and grocery stores look at me funny when I try to pay with a diff file! Comedy aside this is your chance to show some appreciation to the team, I personally have to thank Anthony for giving me a chance to work with him way back when my age still started with the number 2...</div><div><br></div><div>I've grown and learned more than I could have ever dreamed in this field and managing an open source some can a very thankless job and at times grinds you down! Then Anthony commits the latest feature or tweak and the passion starts all over!</div><div><br></div><div>This is how you can donate to our engineering meeting next week:</div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://www.gofundme.com/freeswitch-developer-meeting-2017">http://www.gofundme.com/freeswitch-developer-meeting-2017</a><br></div><div><br></div><div>We have hotels, plane tickets and lunch and dinners to pay for! </div><div><br></div><div>The result of all of this you ask? FreeSWITCH 1.8, and after that just think we'll be at FreeSWITCH 2.0!</div><div><br></div><div>I was here when the folder was empty! We have more in store for our users so stay tuned.</div><div><br></div><div>And remeber 🐜 go in JIRA! </div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>/b</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div dir="ltr">-- <br></div><div data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr">
