Anyone out there use Druid and can comment on it? I found out it was
once closed source by the fact that they announced that it is now
opensource.

Before that, I had never heard of it. Usually I pick up on chatter if
something is good.

I see there are only 19 threads in the forums and some are not all
that great while some are great. I also see great marketing words but
lack of documentation or comparisons.

No chatter on the users list expect a post or two kind of worries me.

I just want to know because I have tested many different platforms.
The only things I have seen go from closed to opensource like this are
things that didn't sell. Take Pingtel for instance.

Anyways, if someone that has used Druid OSE can comment on it, I would
be very grateful.

I am four hours from NYC so there are two reasons for asking.

Thanks,
Steve Totaro

We only tend to get about 10 people to the asterisk meetup events which is
disappointing.







Who else on the Asterisk list is based in NY that would like to catch up 31
May (6-9 pm) for a Druid event/General Asterisk event

30-50 people for 31 May (6-9 pm), let's do a Druid meetup.

I don't use it per se, but afyter a conference with Voiceroute, I
promised to install it and I did so on a test box. The install was
great and the auto-detect of Digium hardware was very cool. I haven't
had enough time to actually turn the machine back on since, but I
think they've done some stuff very well.

Problem is, there are so many flavors available these days, it's hard
to try them all for any length of time.

This is *exactly* where I am. It installed fine on an HP DL380 and
Digium TDM400P I had laying around and looked good, but I am
interested in some real world testimonials.

Thanks,

Hi Steve,
we tested Druid for a while - our setup was pretty much call-center-ish,
so we did not do much testing of hardware and advanced PBX
functionalities, while we used it to build queues and trunks and
extensions.

Generally speaking, it looked quite polished and very easy to use (never
needed to look up the docs); the dialplan code it produced was a bit
leaner than the one FreePBX uses. From our point of view, we found it
quite easy to build a reasonable call-center set up with it, so we
produced a small guide on setting up QueueMetrics with it - you may want
to have a look at it to see how Druid looks like:
http://queuemetrics.com/download/QM_Druid_100.pdf

Well worth trying out - though I personally have not yet found a
reasonable replacement for vi, my favourite Asterisk configuration editor.

Just my euro 0.02,
l.
