| RG: What changes have you seen in the open source marketplace?
|
| MS: Five or so years ago, everyone was just trying to make a successful VoIP
| call, but today there has been tremendous growth and a maturing of the
| market. We see a lot more professionalism in terms of taking open source code
| and creating products with it. The open source community is now populated
| with companies that offer products in appliance form that you can buy and
| they’re all supportable.Digium ( News - Alert) now has some considerable
| competition, though at the moment everyone is still targeting the SMB space —
| I’ve heard recently that a university was going to deployAsterisk ( News -
| Alert) as their phone system, but I’m not yet willing to say that we’ll see
| open source software be used to serve an entire, huge enterprise. Still, at
| some point we’re likely to see some larger institutions tackle it, provided
| they’re staffed with Linux experts who have some coding ability.

Fonality Harnesses Open Source Telephony for SMBs
,----[ Quote ]
| “Asterisk consists of 200,000 lines of code,” says Lyman. “We wrote 1.3
| million lines of code. It wasn’t an overnight coding job, if you know what I
| mean. Just to put it in perspective of just how ‘thin’ Asterisk is compared
| to the code we had to write, we were 25 engineers and four years into writing
| application code, and we probably had twice as many people working on our
| product as were working on Asterisk itself. People who understand software
| know that it’s exponentially hard to make things simple in software. Asterisk
| is written in C, and a lot of our code is written in web code, so that’s
| actually written in PERL and HTML.
