Digium is company that may have made the biggest mistake they ever could have and clearly need some crisis management help.
Their reputation is now at risk and at a time when belief in Asterisk at an all time high, and with all kinds of developers and VoIP suppliers proudly using Asterisk pulling this “protectionist” stunt involving Google is very harmful, despite the rationale of seeking to protect the trademark.
FlatPlanet’s Moshe Maeir brought this to my attention a few days ago, but being down with the flu and an all day meeting yesterday, I felt I needed to get more insight. After reading Moshe’s blog and Facebook page its obvious the already fickle developer community isn’t loving Digium the way they used to.
If Digium doesn’t take steps to shore up their now soured relationships they won’t ever reach their big dream days.
