I understand the possible need for a name change, but
find it a little
tragic in light of the fact that in my opinion, OpenSER as a namesake
was just starting to gain brand recognition and marketing traction that
could be used to further the activities of those of us who specialise in
deploying it, or selling solutions based on it.
Everyone agrees that openser was becoming an important brand and we
believe it could be the main reason we got targeted for name conflicts
and trademarks. In such situation is hard to take a decision in a way or
another. The one with the lowest financial and resources investment
seemed to be renaming.
Things like this happened recently with Gaim which became Pidgin, Zaptel
drivers which became DAHDI. Such situation looks like being inevitable.
To avoid any suppositions, this situation has nothing to do with the old
project, from where openser forked some time ago.
The companies and developers around the project will continue to support
and develop the project as before. The new major release will be with
the new name and version 1.4.0 -- simply is just a renaming, no other
changes.

It's like Ethereal/Wireshark; it was years before
everyone could
finally stop saying "Wireshark (formerly Ethereal)." It's going to be
the same with OpenSER.

Hello to all the members.
As user of the project and responsible of an implementation of it in a
production large scale environment. it is a little bit worrying reade
terms as "conflicting interests" related to project in the news
published today.
According to this new change within the project, which I feel go further
than renaming it, what could the board members to comment about the
RoadMap, philosophy and near future of Kamailio (Formerly known as
OpenSER)?
One of the biggest warranties that users have felt ourselves is exactly
the support and knowledge from the founders and leaders, and it would be
very worrying not been able to count with it anymore.
Thanks in advance for your attention, and I apologize in advance if this
question is out off topic.
Best regards.
Sergio Gutiérrez.
