Asterisk Gets a Facelift

by Garrett Smith on August 25, 2008

Hey, you're new around here aren't ya? Did you know you can every post FREE in your EMAIL or via RSS? Oh and if you're a Twit like me you can follow me on Twitter HERE. Enjoy the post.

Everybody’s favorite open source telephony system has gotten a new look. Earlier today Asterisk GUI 2.0 was released for Asterisk and it looks great.

Take a look for yourself here.

Asterisk has been dogged in the past by many for not having a better GUI for those who are not interested in using command line to configure the platform. To their credit Digium has made tremendous strides in this area and continues to improve (as this release proves).

I wonder if they are putting those SwitchVox folks to work on the Asterisk GUI?

Well that’s much needed. I hadn’t looked at Asterisk since maybe 2006, so thanks for the post. It gave me a reason to check back in with the project and the community overall.

Thanks for asking.
No Digium open source asterisk products or distributions
“phone home”…..!!!! No way. No How. No Phone Home!

At first I thought you were referencing ET…

@Bill Miller:

So I guess ET isn’t an Asterisk fan ;)
