Hello,
the 3rd of September will mark the 10 years since the start of SIP Express Router (aka SER - also the origin for kamailio (openser) and now the two are back together). From last year:
* http://sip-router.org/wiki/history/ser-9-years
This is a good time to celebrate and I am thinking of at least a social event (e.g., dinner) in Berlin, Germany. Based of private discussion so far, other cities are interested in organizing something similar locally, e.g., Barcelona. If you are a group of people that can gather together for a drink in same place to celebrate the event, let me know and I will add in the list to coordinate - hopefully we will be even able connect between sites with some video/audio if the timezones are convenient.
I'm looking as well to do a more formal event, something like a day long conference style, on Friday, 2nd of September. Berlin is the natural choice for location, being the place where the project started. I can take care of location when it is clear that there are people willing to travel. Berlin area alone should be able to get about 20 people, among them several long term developers of the project and companies offering SER/Kamailio-based services. Coming over gives you the opportunity to connect directly with them.
At this event, along with presenting shortly the history and future plans, the event should be open to everyone that want to present their usage of SER/Kamailio. Attendance is going to be free, in the limit of available seats. If you think it would be interesting and want to attend, let me know.
Also, if you have other ideas of how to celebrate, write us back.
Best regards, Daniel
