asterisk users - Dec 2007 - [VOIP-Users-Conference] Re: Digium: as of this a.m., one million Asterisk downloads this year

lol - yep when news of this first broke I thought thats actually a very
good idea to have implemented, though it sounds the way Trixbox
implemented it may have been unsecure.

Maybe someone else can come up with a better way of implementing this.

If the data was all randomised there's no harm in doing this;


some basic infomration like;
Hours of uptime
Reboots
Number of extensions
Number of calls
Number of minutes

Make it totally voluntary and this would be a good thing to Digium for
them to be able to be more aware of whats happening out there...apart
from users downloaded the application 20 kazillion times this year.

Cheers,
Dean

Now if Digium had a voluntary "call home" script we'd know how
many
people actually are using it! The way traditional software companies do
this would be a once a month login that did a GET with a current
version. I actually think it'd be a good idea (assuming it's
voluntary) to include such a script in asterisk.
