“Time is running out to nominate an individual from the
Linux development/Open Source community to fill a board position on
the International Softswitch Consortium (ISC). “This is the
second year in a row we have had the privilege to sponsor a
corporate seat for the Linux/Open Source community on the
International Softswitch Consortium,” said Alan Knitowski,
President and CEO of Vovida Networks. “Achieving widespread support
for open source, royalty free standards within datacom and telecom
is a goal we share with the Linux development/Open Source
community. This is an excellent way to ensure their voice is
heard.”
