Re: [Kamailio-Users] Project continuity and near future.

To be clear, I was not questioning the rationale, and I don't think it serves the project well to engage in a large-scale panic referendum on this move in light of that. Personally, from a purely aesthetic viewpoint, I am not sure that "Kamailio" was the best choice for a replacement name. It is hard to remember to spell and sounds overly exotic, in stark contrast to the no-nonsense technical professionalism and humourless objectivity commanded by a word like "OpenSER." Kamailio sounds more like something full of non-genetically modified soy, maybe with some goat cheese, organic, vegan, and Silicon Valley / "VoIP 2.0" - sort of like the "Yate" B2BUA. I think it's more likely that staunchly conservative telco executives are going to gloss over something like that than something more imposing and Anglo-accessible. But that's just one person's impression. At any rate, it does not change the fact that the nomenclature change was necessary. It's just nomenclature, after all; I don't like "Alex" all that much either, but hopefully it does not do much to summarise the content of my individuality to others in a professional setting or otherwise. :) I know that I ran into name issues with OpenSER on a number of occasions. One, everyone got it confused with IPTel's SER and wanted to know the difference, and two, there is a vendor of expensive predictive dialing/telemarketing hardware called SER. In the rather unlikely event that you end up doing work for an IT-centric mortgage company in the US, as I did, these two worlds somehow converge. :) That is an enormous relief to hear authoritatively! Best of luck, and long live Kamailio. -- Alex -- Alex Balashov Evariste Systems Web : http://www.evaristesys.com/ Tel : (+1) (678) 954-0670 Direct : (+1) (678) 954-0671 Mobile : (+1) (706) 338-8599
