I have to say, this is probably one of the harder decisions I've had to make in a very long time. I have to say the OpenSER / SER decision was much easier. While I obviously don't know all the details of what's gone on between Bogdan and Henning or whomever else, I just really have a hard time swallowing Hennings explanation of what happened and his, what seems to be, emotional reaction. More so than that, it seems like there were quite a few decisions made by the board without immediately letting the community know about it, even quite a while after these decisions were made. While I do not dispute Hennings technical ability, It is my opinion that his disrespectful attitude, his "shotgun" conduct, and his obvious lack of management ability is not befitting of someone on Kamailio project's board regardless of who is at fault here. Honestly, I'm a bit disappointed that Daniel hasn't said more as well. I met him at the fall VON in 2005 and he was indeed very pleasant and I enjoyed our conversation. All I've heard is things like 'not wanting to discuss any further', etc. - but the fact remains that wether it's a comfortable topic or not, there are quite a few of us that are using OpenSER in a commercial environment and these are things that we NEED to know in order to make an informed decision. In the end, all I know is now there are two projects and I have to choose which one. Based on what I've read in the change-logs, my direct experience with Bogden in a technical support role directly related to SER at a previous business - my company will be using OpenSIPS going forward. I have a very high regard for virtually all of the Kamailio / OpenSER group, and again, I am disappointed and absolutely hate that I've been forced into a position to have to make a decision like this. I will continue to be active on both sets of lists for the foreseeable future to monitor progress. Having said all that, I can't tell you how much I hope things can still be resolved and we can all have a unified project. I would implore the Kamailio board to do whatever it takes to bring Bogdan back into the group for the sake of the community. Hopefully something like that won't be just a dream.
