The Future of Open Source VoIP is Asterisk 1.6

02 May 2007

Asterisk hasn't been around all that long, but it has become the standard for open source VoIP PBX.

In a keynote session at the Asterisk and Open Telephony Conference here, Kevin Fleming, senior software engineer at Digium and co-maintainer of Asterisk, told an overflow capacity crowd of Asterisk lovers what the future holds for their beloved project.

With the 1.4 release now under his belt, as well as a new Asterisk appliance effort called AsteriskNOW, Fleming is now concentrating his efforts on the 1.6 release, which could be out by the end of this year.
