Asterisk App Store announced at Astricon

Today Dean Collins posted a note to the mailing list regarding a new application store for Asterisk users and companies alike. The store will feature opensource apps, as well as closed source apps. Developers of Asterisk Modules or Addons will be able to decide upon a model and sell their creations via the store.

The store isn't live yet, but probably will be so within the next 30 days. Sounds like it might be quite promising for those smaller developers that don't have the budget some of the larger companies do for marketing.

With stories of people quitting their jobs after 6 months of an application being on the Apple Iphone Application store, who knows what will be possible with the Asterisk App store.

We're excited. Thanks Digium, great idea.

Here's a link to Dean Collins site with MP3 audio from the Developers Conference Call where the App Store was initially discussed.
