Hi Peter,
(I just copy and paste a previous rely)
OpenSER (as started by Voice System) goes away due some trademark issues regarding the name (see the web site).
The OpenSER project renamed as Kamailio.
OpenSIPS is a new project started by Voice System as the current OpenSER/Kamailio is not able to provide for us an environment for a quality and progressive work.
Shortly,
/-> Kamailio OpenSER - -> OpenSIPS
Regards, Bogdan

I am now officially confused. Can someone please give a summary of what is Kamailio and what is OpenSIPS? Are they the same project? Are they 2 different projects?

Hello everybody,
A new project - OpenSIPs (Open SIP Server) - became active today, with its first release (OpenSIPS 1.4.0).
What is OpenSIPS about?
OpenSER History:
Voice System started the OpenSER project with a vision of running an open project that will deliver a professional software. Along the years Voice System was the main contributor and sustainer of the OpenSER project, organizing conferences, events and tutorials, all aiming to consolidate OpenSER as a top solution for industry VoIP.
OpenSER Issues:
In the past time, several critical problems related to OpenSER project were identified by us:
- the need for a new reliable release - delayed or low-quality releases
are affecting the credibility of the project
- degradation of the project quality - testing, performance measurements
and code quality control are overlooked
- lack of the control, management and coordination of the project -
critical project issues could not be handled or solved
OpenSIPS Solutions:
OpenSIPS is a continuation of the OpenSER project - we have a moral obligation to develop and deliver the high quality and reliable software we envisioned when starting OpenSER.
- a 6 months release cycle, but with no compromise for the technical
issues 2) extensive testing and performance measurements before each major release 3) contributions are guaranteed to be answered and integrated (if accepted) in less than 1 month 4) code review, architecture control and integrated design for software quality 5) technical management with a strict developer hierarchy and developer cooperation to prevent deadlocks or un-availabilities 6) intellectual honesty by having decisions taken on value-based criteria and arguments.
