Google Logo for Constantin Brancusi

Very proud to see Google created a special logo showing several art pieces of Constantin Brancusi to mark the moment of the 135th birth anniversary. He was a great Romanian artist born in a village just few kilometers away from Tirgu Jiu city. I am so proud, as this is the city where I also come from and spent my lovely childhood. It is a small city, but still nice, and it worths paying a visit there as you will find several art pieces signed by Constantin Brancusi:
The Endless Column
The Kiss Gate
The Table of Silence
On Wikipedia there are few more details on city of Tirgu Jiu.


The work of Constantin Brancusi was not appreciated by Romania while alive. He moved later and created most of his master pieces in Paris. In his testament he donated many pieces to his country, but the government at that time refused the donation not understanding the real value of his work, while France made him member of French Academy.

Linux Tag - Berlin 2010

Before leaving for summer vacations, we had a serie of Kamailio SIP Router Events. If you missed the chance to be present, you can find few insights by browsing the project web page.

The annual devel meeting took place on June 8, 2010 - this time hosted by Fokus Fraunhofer Research Institute in Berlin, Germany - was a good opportunity for users and new developers to join the core developers and get into open debates. Click for detailed meeting minutes

Just after Devel Meeting, Kamailio had a presentation booth at Linux Tag 2010. Four days in a row open source community fans were able to meet and discuss with many of the project core developers about the current and future status of the project. Many visitors were surprised to find out that Kamailio is the SIP server enabling their every day calls, as clients of 1&1.



The event was powered by Kamailio Project, 1&1 and ASIPTO.

Back home from UC Expo 2010, London, UK

This week was the "London" week!

It started with Present and Future of SIP Routing hosted by Kamailio Project at SUN Microsystems premises in London.

SIP Router project is the common framework for development of SER and Kamailio (former OpenSER), hosting the unique source code. With lots of enhancements, some of those inherited through the two projects integration and other enhancements developed during the last year, Kamailio 3.0 - released January 2010 - pleasantly surprised many members from the users community by the great outcome of the unforking process.

A strong development team couldn't lead to anything else than to an outstanding unforked release of the best SIP server since 2001.
