We know Google uses FreeSWITCH, They did a presentation on it and mentioned it. I know of a few others but they aren’t ‘out’ of the proverbial closet with that information. Dare I say we need a FreeSWITCH Pride Parade LOL :P I’m kidding. I would like to emphasize is you don’t have to be a developer to be involved in the community. When I started with Asterisk I didn’t know C, Hell I only knew some Cisco VoIP at that point. I would like to capture that excitement end users have and get them involved in the wiki, the call, bug marshaling… all these things add up and help the project as a whole. Companies that make the bulk of their income using FreeSWITCH could get some of their internal people involved in our community. We like to hear what issues companies encounter, understand deployment scenarios. I think the issue is companies are scared of giving away ‘the secret sauce’. Maybe can start a Thursday Bug Marshal call? Its how I got sucked into the Asterisk scene big time. -- Brian West brian@freeswitch.org FreeSWITCH Solutions, LLC PO BOX 2531 Brookfield, WI 53008-2531 Twitter: @FreeSWITCH , @briankwest http://www.freeswitchbook.com http://www.freeswitchcookbook.com T: +1.918.420.9001 | F: +1.918.420.9002 | M: +1.918.424.WEST iNUM: +883 5100 1420 9001 ISN: 410*543 Skype:briankwest PGP Key: http://www.bkw.org/key.txt (AB93356707C76CED) On Dec 11, 2013, at 11:17 AM, Ken Rice <krice@freeswitch.org> wrote:
We already do this, and already invite them all... This year is the 10th edition of ClueCon in Chicago...
What I think Brian is talking about here, more like regular interaction with the community. We already know several very large companies are actively using FreeSWITCH, but they are extremely secretive about it. We would like them to come out and join us on the weekly call, join us on IRC, get involved in general.
We would love to have them just like we love having the smaller companies and Average Joe users.
Lets be honest here, its not just the developers that make FreeSWITCH what it is, but the user base also.
