[Kamailio-Devel] 1.4.0 release date

[Norman Brandinger]

Sharing some thoughts, that perhaps others have.

I'm one of the guys that did zero commits over the last few months.  
Work responsibilities (not lack of motivation) has taken alot of the 
extra time that I used to have.

It's been disappointing to see the conflicts that have recently 
happened.  The project has made great progress in the past and is used 
as a critical piece of infrastructure for many companies worldwide.

The loss of motivation by any of the core contributers to the project, 
will surely hurt, and in my opinion should be looked at very seriously 
in the decision making process.  This raises the question: Is the 
project mature enough with enough active core developers to continue 
growing after the loss of one or more core developers ?

If there is anything I could do to help mend the fences, I would be 
happy to.  However, I think that any resolution, if possible, would be 
for the effected parties to resolve their differences between themselves.

Regards,
Norm
