Rather than trying to  \u2018grow\u2019        Asterisk to address these areas, Digium and a committee of  Asterisk        developers decided that a companion product would be the most  effective        approach, since it allowed us to consider the widest range of  tools,        platforms and architectures.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Asterisk SCF will not be a replacement for the Asterisk software, but a parallel platform for those developers and solution providers who need additional functionality that straight Asterisk does not provide.<\/p>\n<p>For more information about Asterisk SCF or to download a BETA version visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.asterisk.org\/\">Asterisk.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nothing like kicking off Astricon with a bang!
