Hello everybody,

some people expressed inconveniences regarding the new name, so we would 
like to get your opinion about, therefore this is a poll that will get 
us to a decision. Here is the question:

Do you like the name "Kamailio"?
1) Yes, I love it. Please keep it.
2) It is OK.
3) I do not mind the name at all
4) I do not like it
5) I hate the name and we should change it

There is no need of explanations, as it is up to personal taste and 
decision. Just vote by option.

Cheers,
Daniel

PS. for those interested...

As short history about renaming story. On the 28th of March the board 
was informed about issues with SER part of project name. You can easily 
find who has the trademarks. On the 7th of April the board was informed 
about an agreement for the deadline as of September 30, 2008 to use old 
name. From there on, all old releases, documents, etc. can be referred 
by the old name, but nothing new. Other few discussions about what 
should/could be kept/changed followed and on 12th of May started the 
discussion about the new name with two main direction, something 
similar, to remind about old project or just something completely new, 
to be used as brand name. Couple of proposals and discussions regarding 
possible names followed up to 16th of July when was the deadline and the 
start of vote. Majority was reached on 17th but it was required to have 
opinions from all members of the board, last came from Bogdan, on the 
28th of July.

All discussions about migration were on the board mailing list. No 
change were done to openser.org configuration, just the new domain with 
kamailio in it was pointed to same server. Every step done was reported 
to board, following a schedule discussed there. Another discussion was 
about making the renaming and 1.4.0 release in same day. Being 
practically impossible to do all the work in one day, it was decided to 
do first the announcement about renaming. That happened on 28th when all 
agreed with the new name.

As you can see, there was no 5 months of renaming duration. There was no 
change in openser.org DNS configuration undertaken with/without the 
knowledge of all board members. The new name domains were reserved when 
majority was achieved, in any case; dns entries for new name were 
pointed to old server shortly after booking the domains.
