On 4th of August, one week after project renaming from OPENSER to KAMAILIO, one of the project team members announced that his interest is not anymore with the OPENSER project and that he started by himself a fork of OPENSER. Few days later, without prior notice, just one hour before the release KAMAILIO (OPENSER) 1.4.0, he claimed the project domain openser.org as this was registered on his name when the project started in 2005 and proceeded with redirection of the domain to its newly created fork of OPENSER project called opensips. Redirection takes place after a few seconds while displaying the message saying that OPENSER project has become opensips. Launching his project as a fork and claiming in the same time OPENSER has become his newly started project is breaking all the logic. As OPENSER founder and developer, I feel disgust for such attitude.
To avoid such problems in the future and also to allow for a healthy developing of the open source sip server KAMAILIO, comunity members discussions were started for creation of a project foundation.
We apologize for the inconvenience and confusion created among the OPENSER community members. All project resources can be found under following domains:

OPENSER renamed to KAMAILIO
KAMAILIO is the new name for the SIP server known as OPENSER. A list with name candidates was created and the project board members vote decided the way to go forward under the name of KAMAILIO.
About the new name: there were people that found it strange, even ugly ... there were people that found it interesting and of a special flavor. It might be difficult to pronounce in English .. I am not sure. It is as simple as thinking to pronounce it in two parts kama ' ilio.
I wish all the best to the project! With a bit of our help - the founders, developers and management board members, but with the huge help of the community the project will continue to be at the top of open source SIP servers.
