Usually we're in a room at the venue, we're limited to cheap wine and beer and because there's 600 people in a big room, you end up having to shout over one another to hear each other. The evening networking was a distance above anything I'd attended at Astricon in the past too. The venue was nice (although a little pricey even at the special rate) and the food during the day was amazing - I'd never had food like that at an Astricon before. I ended up enjoying myself, the company around me and although only a few of the "regulars" that I love attended, I made new friends and talked to people I hadn't seen before. What can I say? I was wrong and I'm so glad I went. Since Sangoma bought Digium there's been quite a lot of change over the past year - key members of the now combined Sangoma/Digium team have left and I must admit I wasn't really looking forward to speaking at the event. This was the first Astricon where Sangoma had been able to take the reins and truly implement their vision of what Astricon should be.
No longer will I recommend your products - Dan Jenkins September 24, 2019įirst of all, let's talk about Astricon in Atlanta, Georgia. Open Source software isn't unsupported, isn't a mess, and can be 100% right for your business. You should be absolutely ashamed of yourselves. Well -well done for showing your true colours. The ClueCon weekly video went public during Astricon which made no sense to me and led to people (including myself) questioning SignalWire's timing on the matter. TLDR Astricon was better than I thought it was going to be and while I believe Sangoma, as a whole, do believe in Open Source and want to do better, they have work to do going forward. I'm now back from Astricon and wanted to put the record straight on a couple of topics. I've included the tweet and the video below. We believed this interview was going to be released before Astricon because we talked heavily about our hopes for Astricon in it. PBXact is Sangoma's commercial offering of FreePBX.Īround 2 weeks later I also recorded a ClueCon Weekly episode with Fred Posner around the topic of Open Source Telephony and the standards we have to hold each other to in response to that blog post from Sangoma. The blog post essentially said "Open Source will fail you, use PBXact instead". If you follow me on twitter you'll know that only 5 weeks before Astricon was due to take place, I responded to a blog post from Sangoma - the custodians of the FreePBX and Asterisk projects - two of the key projects in Open Source Telephony.
