Avaya is fully committed to supporting sipXecs as an open source
project, and will continue to encourage contributions to this project
from the community as well as continue with its own contributions.
However, communications regarding the direction of sipXecs, feedback
from the community on the roadmap and developer & user support will
move to a new open source web portal hosted and supported by Avaya.
This split from SIPfoundry has been something we have been
contemplating for some time and it was not an easy decision. Bottom
line is Avaya didn’t feel it could be a primary contributor in
something and not control more of the messaging of the project. Avaya
will strive to make this project more compelling for developers and
users and will provide linkages to its commercial version SCS, so that
there is an easy migration path from an unsupported open source version
to a fully supported commercial version. This split will happen over
the next week and is something being coordinated with SIPfoundry. The
migration may yield small outages of tools however we will do our best
to minimize this. Just so everyone knows sipFoundry has been working
with us on this and although we may have different perspectives on a
path forward for sipXecs we both want the technology to succeed. Going forward Avaya is starting a new project (openscs.org) which will allow any of you to participate. As the copyright owner of the sipXecs codebase, and with many users/companies running sipXecs for their telephony needs, we will keep the sipXec name and evolve the code base as part of openscs.org. The new project will focus on getting a broader developer community and lowering the barriers associated with developing sipXecs software. We are very excited about the new project and welcome participation. http://openscs.org Now that the company message has been delivered I wanted to say on a personal note it’s been an incredible few years watching this technology mature and become something quite different than the early 3.X versions I first used. Thank you all for the frustrations and fun... Best wishes, Al Campbell Avaya Software Development |
