Digium’s popular Asterisk VoIP telephony platform just won InfoWorld’s "Best of Open Source Software" Bossie Award for 2007. It was actually announced on the 18th of September 2007.This is one program I would have loved to watch but missed, quite unfortunately. From a news release, Digium was the only open source VoIP provider to be shortlisted for the award. For them, it should be a great achievement.
According to the CTO and founder of Digium, Mark Spencer, "Asterisk is indeed taking the VoIP world by storm. Receiving this industry recognition from IDG and InfoWorld is not only a win for Digium, but the entire open source telephony community as a whole. Digium is committed to taking Asterisk to even greater heights and developing new ways for businesses all over the world to experience cost savings and flexibility never before possible with proprietary VoIP solutions."
A lot of credit has to be given to Mark Spencer and his team, for this great achievement. The whole idea of Asterisk open source movement was conceived by him. We also need to thank him a lot for the open source telephony industry he helped create, not to mention the whole ecosystem of Asterisk-based products. Very ingenious!
As for me, I still need to check Digium’s new and better office digs since I missed the main show.
