You've found FreeSWITCH to be helpful to you in accomplishing your
|

|
|
|
goals. How can you give back to the project?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Like many community projects, FreeSWITCH lives on volunteers, money,
|
|
|
|
|
and enthusiasm.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Example: You work for a large company
|
|
|
|
|
-------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If your company uses FreeSWITCH in any capacity, it makes sense for
|
|
|
|
|
people at your company to be familiar with it. The best way for this
|
|
|
|
|
to happen is to get involved with the development, documentation, and
|
|
|
|
|
administration of the project. See if your company will pay for
|
|
|
|
|
yourself or others to spend a part of their time contributing to
|
|
|
|
|
FreeSWITCH.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When your company has a specific need FreeSWITCH can meet, consider
|
|
|
|
|
developing the feature in such a way that the majority of it can be
|
|
|
|
|
pushed up to us as a new module or subsystem and benefit others.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you need a feature developed in a hurry, or done the "right way" in
|
|
|
|
|
FreeSWITCH, consider contracting one of the core developers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As your company depends on FreeSWITCH, push internally for the company
|
|
|
|
|
to subscribe to a support agreement with FreeSWITCH Solutions so the
|
|
|
|
|
company receives priority support.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Encourage your company to sponsor ClueCon; in addition to helping out
|
|
|
|
|
the project, you'll be exposed to a great pool of people to partner
|
|
|
|
|
with, sell to, and recruit from.
