Listen to the interview with John Todd, Community Director of Digium, but especially question 9 discussion. Then, listen to the discussion between Rehan Allahwala, inventor of DIDX and president of Super Technologies, Inc. and Greg Vance of Digium discuss how to get more connection of India, China and Pakistan with the global Asterisk community.
Question 9: If you could change anything about the Asterisk community, what would it be?
I've mentioned this a few times in various talks, but I'm sorry to say that we don't see as much contribution from the development communities in China and India. I know that Asterisk is very, very big in both nations and that there are huge development groups in each area working on really slick features, mostly for small software vendors deploying in a huge number of niche markets. But for a variety of reasons, those communities don't connect well with the existing open-source group surrounding Asterisk. I think that we could instantly double the size of the development community if there was some magic wand I could wave that would convince Indian and Chinese developers to both participate in the existing discussions as well as contribute back to the project, so that would be a big goal of mine.
