Community roles

Asterisk community

The Asterisk Community includes those contributors from every corner of the globe who write thousands of lines of code, develop cutting-edge features, test bug patches and features, write documentation, create content for web pages, and in general just spread the good word for Asterisk. The Asterisk Community, as a collective group, contributes to the success of Asterisk. Their actions, through the participation on the IRC channel and mailing lists, determine the direction of the Asterisk Project.

It is because of their actions that the Asterisk Community has become the top influencer in VoIP, and is now at the forefront of open source VoIP development changing the telecommunications market at a fast disruptive rate.
