■■■■■■■■■■■■ (Qwell)'s in the #freepbx room (working for Digium) as is two Developers including X-Rob from yesterday.
As the X-Rob who was mentioned in passing here, I should point out that Qwell and I both work for Sangoma. He used to be a Digium employee, but he came to the dark side.
For those that don't know the background, that branch of AsteriskNOW was abandoned several years ago. @astercrap did the equivalent of joining the CentOS channel, and demanding help with his CentOS 3 machine.
Lots of people told him that it was out of date, and to stop using it, and pointed out better things to use, but he insisted on continuing with his CentOS 3 equivalent.
Not really much more we can do when someone insists on using a Model T and then wondering why it's not working like a modern car.

I have no idea if Sangoma is going to update and properly maintain FreePBX, or drop it like a hot potato.
I really hope they don't, because that's my full time job 8-) They seem pretty happy with us so far, which is about all I know. I'm actually in Australia, so I don't really know what's happening over there in the Northern Hemisphere. I just push buttons and break stuff. However, it's not like FreePBX is stagnating, we're amazingly active, with piles of commits happening.
We have a proper GitHub organization that we use, and people can fork and do pull requests and stuff, and if anyone's interested in UN-WTFing a pile of PHP4 code (Edit: I meant removing. Not using. YES. BURN IT), we're slowly working our way through it 8-)
