Voip User Conference Call 9th Of May

Slide 1: VOIP User Conference Call May 9th 2008 Discussion Topic – Asterisk 3rd party developed commercial software sales licensing platform, good or bad idea?

Slide 2: Agenda 3. Should commercial software applications like SNAP Dialer even be encouraged for the Asterisk community – or is this the slippery slope? 4. Should this license schema model be centrally managed by Digium – what are the alternatives? 5. Is a centrally managed approval process like Salesforce.com/ i-tunes appropriate for the Asterisk user community or should it just be a ‘published document schema’ but all sales are handled by each individual company. 6. Is the G729 model an appropriate solution (NIC addresses registration) - are there alternatives that should be considered instead, - what are the limitations of NIC licensing over server IP address etc, - how does this affect client applications running on ‘client’ machines. 7. What type of applications would you like to see licensed via this 3rd party ecosystem model. 8. What do we do from here? - Is this something Digium should be developing internally and present to the Asterisk community as a ‘suggested working model’? - Is this something that can be developed by the community and presented to Digium for their approval and adoption? - Who on this call wants to be involved and what do you want to do from here?
