Switchfin is an branch of Astfin (astfin.org) telephony uClinux/Asterisk based distribution.
Why this project was created?
Well at the beginning of 2010 me and few colleagues I was working with, had become one of the major contributors for Astfin 2.1 project. The project father Mark however has shared with us that he wants Astfin to migrate a bit out of telephony area which is not exactly what we see its future. We want to work on a purely telephony oriented project and that's why we have created Switchfin.
