I certainly hope it won't be the end of sipX. The way I see it Avaya could do one of two things:
1: Rebrand sipX as one of their own products much like Nortel did for SCS and leave the open source project as it currently is essentially keeping the project going as it currently stands. This would be ideal, but I'm not betting any money on this happening. 2: Drop funding and employees for the project and leave it up to the open source community to continue development efforts. While this might be detrimental to the project, it would allow the project to continue, albeit at a much slower pace. If I understand correctly it would be impossible to completely close the project down as the open source community for this project is not "owned" by anyone in particular. (Correct me if I'm wrong). > On Tue, 2009-07-21 at 12:26 -0400, Scott Lawrence wrote: > > >> When there's some definitive news, you'll hear it pretty quickly here. >> > > http://www2.nortel.com/go/news_detail.jsp?cat_id=-8055&oid=100261422&locale=en-US > > > Nortel Selects Avaya as Successful Bidder for Enterprise > Solutions Business > > September 14, 2009 > > * Will sell the assets of the Enterprise Solutions > Business, and shares of Nortel Government Solutions and > DiamondWare to Avaya > * Avaya to Pay US$900 Million in Cash to Nortel, with an > Additional Pool of US$15 Million Reserved for an > Employee Retention Program > * Canadian and U.S. Court Approvals of Sale will be Sought > at a Joint Hearing on September 15 > > What this means for sipXecs remains to be seen... stay tuned. > > > > _______________________________________________ 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/
