KAMAILIO OPEN SOURCE SIP PROXY PROJECT

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:
http://www.kamailio.net
http://www.kamailio.org
http://www.kamailio.com
