[Serusers] OpenSER release

[Rose, John]

I agree, openser should be working with the ser people instead of
forking it.  Why is ser so stable?  One of the reasons is that there
aren't new releases every month.  These guys will create confusion.

I do not think openser is a good idea. This will only lead to further
confusion and interoperability problems vis-a-vis ser.cfg. 

Why can't the openser guys invest their time and efforts to work with
ser people rather than forking on a new path? 

It seems to me voice-systems.ro is trying to endorse itself by launching
openser.
