Hello Everybody, We are pleased to announce to you the SIP Router project. It aims to build a solid open source SIP routing platform, based on collaboration of the SIP Express Router (SER) and Kamailio (OpenSER) teams. Developers of these two projects believe that an united and non-conflicting environment will bring many benefits to them, community members and companies: * bring together the developers and user communities of both projects * reduce maintenance overhead * avoid duplicated efforts in development * develop a core framework that is flexible, extensible and scalable * promote and build a solid open source SIP server project * ensure business credibility * make future forking undesirable, this harms everybody, affects credibility and business You are welcome to join! Visit the web site at: http://sip-router.org There is a meeting in Karlsruhe, Germany, on Nov 10, 2008, hosted by 1&1, where the developers and community members have the chance to discuss and tune the last aspects of the new project. We are looking to see many of you there: http://sip-router.org/index.php/meeting/ We hope this is a great news for you, thanks to the effort of main developers and management teams of the two projects. We invite you to join the new mailing list for further discussions: http://lists.sip-router.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sr-dev Daniel, Jiri Kamailio Management Team SER Management Team

Re: [SR-Dev] [OpenSIPS-Users] [Fwd: [Serdev] the sip router project]

Hello Jiri, For myself and Bogdan things are pretty clear. We both have companies that closely depend on the success of the project and we have contracts with customers to which we deliver. There is no doubt about who we are, what we do, what is our motivation and driving factor. Clarity is something customers need to have for the sake of their current and future investments. It is pretty unclear at this stage how the new project will shape up. Merging and forking can lead to inimaginable places as we have seen before several times and is nothing bad in the end as long as the eco- system keeps going and the customers invest further in it, which happend a lot in the last four years. The real customers are the ones that can decide upon the best solution for their own interests and we shall let them express their choice once they have enough information and measurements.

We will have to see what the community says, but so far, I've only seen cheers and applauds. How this will work out in the future is something no one really can guess at this point. The more people that joins this effort and forms it, the better. The time to make it right is now, by working together and aligning the codebases as described, then working towards the future with new releases. We'll see if the combined forces can produce any deliverys or not. Today, we can only hope and guess. I think it's a great starting point that they have started talking, and agreed to work together on some parts. To me, it seems to be room for two final products stil, sharing the same core. One Kamailio and one SER. After the developer meetings, I think it's time to call for a joint community meeting to have people active in the community - not only developers - in the same room, discussing benefits of working together. I don't want to argue your standpoint, just hope that you will follow the progress and see if there's some benefits for OpenSIPS to join at some stage. Regardless, the GPL license allows you to benefit from the work as always. I might be naive, but I do have a positive feeling about this :-) /O
