It has been brought to my attention that I was kind of an A-Hole and that came across stronger then the point I was trying to make so let me clear some things up.
I Fully support the work of PIAF and their team. I work with the community as a whole and still support the green guys and the south Americans and now who I will refer to as the "English in Spain" I am paid to be part of the community as Rhino, I dedicate allot of my unpaid time to the Open Source community as a whole as just James. I will admit My employment opens allot of doors but I like to think of my self as something more than a marketing tool for my employer. That said I have been in the Open Source/Linux world since long before it was a paying gig and long before I had ever heard of Asterisk. I have some deep roots and deep passions and sometimes the flame throwers come out. I think when you live in the OS world you become a super troll and it is okay because you give back. Anyone who has been around a while and knows me knows I tend to be opinionated and my words can be sharp and harsh. I hope if your at the receiving end of those words you don't take it personally. I think this world resembles Washington D.C. There are alot of politics and our views may match in some areas and clash in others. In the end I hope everyone knows where the other stands and all can be set aside because it is 5PM and drinks and appetizers are half price at applebees.
The point in fewer words:
PIAF Rocks and I will always recommend it where appropriate.
I am a jerk, if I was a jerk to you feel free to call me out In public or private.
I don't hold anything against anyone as a person though I may passionately dissagree about select Ideas.
If I pose an Idea, Belief or Concept you don't like or that you disagree with TELL ME be as crude as you wish, My Grandpa was a garage keeper out of the Army I can handle any language
