While it would be nice to see sipfoundry gain some independence, 95%+ of the development and sipfoundry organization are now Avaya employees. I was always suspect that Avaya understood the opensource culture and its value. I suspect over the next few releases we will see the community edition all but stagnate. Similar fate happened to DimDim. The community edition is so old and dated that the two editions (community and commercial) are not really even the same product anymore. I feel for the developers....I'm sure they are not thrilled. _______________________________________________ sipx-dev mailing list [email protected] List Archive: http://list.sipfoundry.org/archive/sipx-dev Unsubscribe: http://list.sipfoundry.org/mailman/listinfo/sipx-dev sipXecs IP PBX -- http://www.sipfoundry.org/
