Kamailio(OpenSER) 1.5.2 - preparing for Kamailio 3.0

Recently was released Kamailio 1.5.2 - a minor release fixing reported bugs since 1.5.1 and preserving configuration file and database compatibility.

In the mean time, the collaboration work for SIP Router (http://sip-router.org) proved to be very constructive and the results started to show up quicker than expected - the new core is almost ready. Based on the new core and including lot of new features added since 1.5 release, Kamailio 3.0 will make it to the community pretty soon.

Second day at AMOOCON 2009, Daniel Constantin Mierla - co-founder of Kamailio (OpenSER) Project - gave a talk about SIP-Router.ORG Project presenting the actual status, timeline to first beta release and the benefits the joint project brings to community and business around.
Good news is that thanks to good team-up between all members of the joint project, there is almost here the first beta release of SIP-Router.ORG - expected time 1-2 months.

SIREMIS Project Launched

Checking Romanian companies legal status

Joining European Union determined some improvements in the Romanian public organizations, as they became more transparent making available useful info on their websites.

It is possible now to check online the legal status of any company incorporated in Romania. This info is made available for free by Romanian National Trade Office at http://recom1.onrc.ro/cgi-bin/recom.cgi where you have to login as user=guest with password=guest and then search for the company name. If full name not known, searching for first letters will return a list of companies with similar names. Pay attention to companies with very similar names and avoid being fooled, by checking also the registration number of the company you are looking for. By law, the registration number of a company must be published on the web page of that company.
It is available only in Romanian language, but still a big step forward - there is now google language tools with Romanian support.

Thus you can avoid doing business with fake companies or companies that have legal issues, that cannot be anymore legally represented by any person (i.e. expired administrators), that are currently involved in a trial in court, that were declared as bankrupt a.s.o.

SIP Router - joint effort

Kamailio (Openser) team has joined the effort to build the SIP Router Open Source Project. A first meeting of the people around SIP Router took place in Karlsruhe at the premises of 1&1 on November 10, 2008.
Following the meeting approved goals, last month (November) we already had first Kamailio (Openser) module running on top of SER core. This was an important milestone reached even sooner than expected. A fully compatible version of SIP Router with both parents' projects is expected in the first quarter of 2009.

Sunday in Bucharest, Davis Cup

Yesterday there was a sunny autumn day in Bucharest. So I took advantage of the wonderful weather and went to encourage Romanian tennis players at Davis Cup. I could say I brought them luck :), in the end Romania defeating India 4-1.

Among the people present there, there was a special supporter Ilie Nastase, Romanian professional tennis player - world's no. 1 in '73. Nice to see him there.

Go Romania, Go! in the long run in Davis Cup!
