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!

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:

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.
