The title of this post was the subject of a Mark Spencer email sent to the Asterisk Users list yesterday, following the news of Digium’s new CEO:

Many of you may have seen the recent announcement about Danny Windham coming on as the new CEO of Digium.  This is one of the most exciting things to happen to Digium and to Asterisk at large.  When Danny comes on board, I will be transitioning to the role of Chief Technical Officer (retaining my position of chairman of the board of directors), providing strategic vision for the company as well as being able to focus more extensively on the community, the customers and the technology.

My sincere hope is that this transition will not only directly benefit the Asterisk community and Digium customers, but will allow me to spend much more time with the community and with Asterisk, playing a more important technical role in our roadmap for both hardware and software.

I’m looking forward to working more with the community and the developers to help grow the future of Asterisk even more!

Mark
