Fonality acquires (hires) another Open Source resource!

Fonality today announced that it has hired Kerry Garrison, said to be an expert on Asterisk and trixbox as a Senior Product Manager. Garrison is the founder of the VOIPSpeak.net and AsteriskTutorials.com, two educational sites focused on voice over IP and Asterisk software.
I have visited both his sites in my quest to learn as much as possible about Asterisk and was impressed with various resources provided by him. I hope he will not neglect his sites once he start on his new carrier.
Also I hope Fonality puts Garrisons abilities to best use and make the VOIP IP Telephony community a happy one.
“Kerry is a huge addition to our trixbox project. He represents the trixbox community and will insure that the Asterisk ecosystem has an open, stable and easy to use application platform on which to build their businesses,” said Chris Lyman, founder and CEO of Fonality. “I’m very pleased to have him as a part of our organization, and his hire shows our continued commitment to supporting the trixbox project.”
“Kerry is a well-respected Asterisk expert and well-known within the trixbox community. His background brings real-world knowledge of the Asterisk market to the trixbox team,” said Andrew Gillis, founder of trixbox and director of community development at Fonality. “His insider knowledge and technical understanding will help with our goal of making trixbox the number one application platform for open source telephony.”
