Kamailio World 2017 – Student Grants

With a bit of delay, given that had to accommodate and accept some requests from the last year queue, I am glad to announces that we can offer two more seats at Kamailio World Conference, May 8-10, 2017, in Berlin.

Therefore we are continuing the program from last years, based on the roots and the tight relation of Kamailio project with the academic environment, the eligible people being students enrolled in universities or research institutes (both bachelor and PhD programs qualify) as well as people from underrepresented groups.

If you think you are eligible and want to participate, email to <registration [at] kamailio.org> . Participation to all the content of the event (workshops, conference and social event) is free, but you will have to take care of expenses for traveling and accommodation. Write a short description about your interest in real time communications and, when it is the case what is the university or the research institute you are affiliate to.

Also, if you are not a student, but you are in touch with some or have access to students forums/mailing lists, it will be very appreciated if you forward these details.

Time is short, we already received few requests based on my remark in a message sent out few weeks ago, therefore in a matter of days we will do the selection, so you have to hurry up a bit.

More information about Kamailio World is available on the web site:

Many thanks to the event sponsors that allowed to continue this program, respectively: FhG Fokus, Asipto, Flowroute, Telnyx, Sipwise, Sipgate, Simwood, Obihai, NG-Voice, Evariste Systems, Digium, VoiceTel, Pascom and Core Network Dynamics.

Expect a full house event! Looking forward to meeting many of you in Berlin!

Kamailio - New Developer: Mikko Lehto

Mikko Lehto has joined the developers group on Kamailio gihub project. He has made a lot of good pull requests over the time, specially to documentation and unit tests that could have been just committed directly without delay on waiting for a review, saving also time from the other developers.

Taking time to express my thanks for all his contributions so far and reviving those unit tests, and I am looking forward to future collaboration!

Thank you for flying Kamailio!

Kamailio Lists sr-users And sr-dev Migrated To lists.kamailio.org

All the mailing lists related to the Kamailio project are using now lists.kamailio.org as primary domain, including sr-dev and sr-users.

From now on, the emails to these mailing lists should be addressed to:

• sr-dev@lists.kamailio.org
• sr-users@lists.kamailio.org

The previously used domain (lists.sip-router.org) should still work, being redirected to lists.kamailio.org, so existing mailing list discussions can go on as usual.

If anyone is encountering any problems or notices some information on kamailio.org that needs to be updated, do not hesitate to contact us.

In addition, the mailing lists URLs should use now HTTPS, browsing the archive with plain HTTP being redirected to HTTPS URLs.

Maintenance Work On Kamailio Mailing Lists Server

Today, Apr 11, 2017,  maintenance work is scheduled to be done on the mailing lists server, including the shifting from lists.sip-router.org to lists.kamailio.org as primary domain.

It is expected to not have any relevant downtime, but one never knows. Maybe the archive won’t be available for short time due to changes needs to be done to the web server after mailing lists server is upgraded.

Kamailio World 2017 – Four Weeks Before

Getting closer and closer to the Kamailio World Conference 2017 – the 5th edition is just four weeks away!

The schedule has been published, with some adjustments still expected to happen. The event starts like the past edition with a half a day of technical workshops, followed by two full conference days.

Thanks a consistent group of speakers the agenda is filled with topics that cover many of the interesting aspects of real time communications, from security and scalability to WebRTC and VoLTE, touching Kamailio and other open source projects like Asterisk or FreeSwitch. We will enjoy again the two sessions that never missed a Kamailio World edition: VUC Visions (open discussions panel) and Dangerous Demos (demo your crazy RTC idea in less than 5 minute and win one of the prizes in the game).

More details can be found on the website of the event:

We expect to fill again the capacity of the conference room, if you haven’t registered yet and plan to attend, do it as soon as possible to secure your seat!
