Hello everybody,
some people expressed inconveniences regarding the new name, so we would like to get your opinion about, therefore this is a poll that will get us to a decision. Here is the question:
Do you like the name "Kamailio"? 1) Yes, I love it. Please keep it. 2) It is OK. 3) I do not mind the name at all 4) I do not like it 5) I hate the name and we should change it
There is no need of explanations, as it is up to personal taste and decision. Just vote by option.
Cheers, Daniel
PS. for those interested...
As short history about renaming story. On the 28th of March the board was informed about issues with SER part of project name. You can easily find who has the trademarks. On the 7th of April the board was informed about an agreement for the deadline as of September 30, 2008 to use old name. From there on, all old releases, documents, etc. can be referred by the old name, but nothing new. Other few discussions about what should/could be kept/changed followed and on 12th of May started the discussion about the new name with two main direction, something similar, to remind about old project or just something completely new, to be used as brand name. Couple of proposals and discussions regarding possible names followed up to 16th of July when was the deadline and the start of vote. Majority was reached on 17th but it was required to have opinions from all members of the board, last came from Bogdan, on the 28th of July.
All discussions about migration were on the board mailing list. No change were done to openser.org configuration, just the new domain with kamailio in it was pointed to same server. Every step done was reported to board, following a schedule discussed there. Another discussion was about making the renaming and 1.4.0 release in same day. Being practically impossible to do all the work in one day, it was decided to do first the announcement about renaming. That happened on 28th when all agreed with the new name.
As you can see, there was no 5 months of renaming duration. There was no change in openser.org DNS configuration undertaken with/without the knowledge of all board members. The new name domains were reserved when majority was achieved, in any case; dns entries for new name were pointed to old server shortly after booking the domains.
