Joshua Colp is the Asterisk Project Lead. This is just a fancy way of saying he makes sure the ship is pointed in the right direction. He originally started in the community submitting simple patches and grew into improving and creating new core components of Asterisk itself. He is a self-taught programmer who believes in finding the balance between doing things the way they should be done and doing what is right for the people using the software. In his spare time he enjoys smashing fax machines.
