FreeSWITCH is currently celebrating its 10th year as a public open source project!

As we continue to push the envelope of open source communication technologies we have started to expand our policies and tighten up our development practices.  

We have begun packaging FreeSWITCH for popular Linux Distros and are working on improved distribution for Mac and Windows as well.

We are working hard to have more timely release schedules and separate development versions and current release versions.  

The harder we try to make these things possible, the more difficult the logistics become. 

We are calling out to our user base and our community to help in any way you can.

If your company uses FreeSWITCH, Here are the best ways to help:

1) Become a member of the Friends of FreeSWITCH:

As a project sponsor we’ll put your logo and information on our site and for a recurring monthly or quarterly contribution you can help us to improve the project by paying for maintenance positions for the community.

2) Visit FreeSWITCH.com and explore the commercial support options:

The funds we get from paid support also helps fund many aspects of the project.

3) Donate any unused equipment or let us run a VM in your data center for mirrors:

We’re always looking for more build and dev servers.

4) Allow your employees to contribute some of their resources to helping with the project maintenance a fixed number of hours a week:

If your employees spend a lot of time on FreeSWITCH anyway, let them work on the project as well.

5) Sponsor the employment of a community member:

Hire them and allow them to work for us or donate the amount necessary for us to pay for someone.

We currently are in need of some documenters, testing engineers and bug marshals and project managers.

Thanks for your support and your involvement in the FreeSWITCH Project!
