It seems the fate of SipXecs rests on SipFoundry. If I'm not mistaken, there is a separate Corporate entity that owns the Open Source product. SipXecs is owned by Nortel, but contributed to the Open Source Product.
Scott, can someone address this question more in line with ANY contributor either going out of business, or stopping their contribution to the community. Am I mistaken in my belief that continuation of development relies on decisions made by the SipFoundry Open Source Community. Understanding that a vendor stopping contribution to the program has an effect on anything they work with, does SipFoundry still not have access to the source code and the ability to continue development due to the nature of the existing license. It seems the fate of the product ALWAYS relies on the support provided to it by the community, whether corporate sponsored community, or end user sponsored community. It seems like continuing to build the community interest in the project by all users, corporate or non-corporate is in the best interest of SipFoundry as an organization, along with financial donations to the organization. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Scott Lawrence Sent: Wednesday, June 24, 2009 11:10 AM To: Goran Donev Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [sipx-users] Future of SIPXECS On Wed, 2009-06-24 at 12:50 -0500, Goran Donev wrote: > No, but I thought I would ask either way :) > Just was wondering if the developers would ever consider going solo as a standalone PBX and accept partner companies to work with and install the systems. > I think you guys have a good product and would be a darn shame if Nortel would go away. I'd rather not have an extended discussion here on the fate of Nortel. I believe that I speak for many of the contributors both inside and outside Nortel when I say that we're proud of what we've done. As for how the fate of Nortel will affect the project - wait and see. The Nortel SCS product (http://www.nortel.com/scs) is the commercial version of sipXecs, and that product is part of the Nortel Enterprise products division. So set your favorite news clipping service to tell you what's happening to Nortel Enterprise and you'll know as fast as we will... _______________________________________________ sipx-users mailing list [email protected] List Archive: http://list.sipfoundry.org/archive/sipx-users Unsubscribe: http://list.sipfoundry.org/mailman/listinfo/sipx-users sipXecs IP PBX -- http://www.sipfoundry.org/ _______________________________________________ sipx-users mailing list [email protected] List Archive: http://list.sipfoundry.org/archive/sipx-users Unsubscribe: http://list.sipfoundry.org/mailman/listinfo/sipx-users sipXecs IP PBX -- http://www.sipfoundry.org/
