So, from a practical, sipx-users standpoint, it sounds like what is really changing is the location of the issue tracker and roadmap. If we want to post issues , enhancement requests (i.e. Jira) we need to use the new Avaya site, correct? Will voting for an issue continue?

I am sure we will see some communication on that today. The code was all contributed to SIPfoundry under LGPL so it can be used without any issue. Al Hi Al, First, I started with 3.6 and have had a lot of fun as well. Keep up the good work (development)! Could you be a little bit more clear about the future? If I understand it correctly SipXecs is moving from sipfoundry to openscs. That leaves sipfoundry with ??, or will they develop their own sipYecs? Are they allowed to use/license the copyrighted part of the code? Also Ezuce is contributing a lot to SipXecs at the moment, how does that fit in the new situation? Any clarification is welcome (I think everybody knew something was coming, I don't know whether they suspected this and I think they were hoping for something else) Regards, Paul Al Campbell <alb...@gmail.com> wrote on 15-07-2010 14:01:57: > 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.
