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.
 
Regards,
Adrian

Folks,

while there is not yet such a remarkable progress to be shared with those
I have chosen to talk to on the opensips side, the invitation is of course
very open to anyone with sincere interest in unforking.

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:

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:
