The module is a result of a joint development between Carsten Bock and Stefan Mititelu. If offers AMQP communication from kamailio.cfg using librabbitmq, allowing to interact using a well establish message queuing mechanism with external applications.

AstriCon 2016

The Asterisk Users Conference – AstriCon – is taking place in Glendale, Arizona, during September 27-29, 2016.

With a consistent group of VoIP community using both Kamailio and Asterisk projects, Kamailio will have again a strong presence on site this year, including the participation in the expo floor, coordinated this edition by Fred Posner.

Along with him, you may meet around Torrey Searle, Nir Simionovich, Joran Vinzens and others that can answer your questions about Kamailio and Asterisk. Like in the past editions, several presentations will touch the use of Kamailio and integration with Asterisk — see agenda.

It is definitely a must-attend event if you are looking to build flexible real time communications using Kamailio and Asterisk, or even beyond that, there are not many places around the world where you can find so much VoIP knowledge at the same time along the year!

Kamailio – 15 Years of Development

Fifteen years ago, on September 3, 2001, inside Fraunhofer Fokus Research Institute, first commit to the source code repository of Kamailio has been made by Andrei Pelinescu-Onciul:

Here are the references to the first three commits:

# git log --pretty=format:"%h%x09%an%x09%ad%x09%s" --reverse | head -3

512dcd9 Andrei Pelinescu-Onciul Mon Sep 3 21:27:11 2001 +0000 Initial revision
888ca09 Andrei Pelinescu-Onciul Tue Sep 4 01:41:39 2001 +0000 parser seems to work
e60a972 Andrei Pelinescu-Onciul Tue Sep 4 20:55:41 2001 +0000 First working release

The project was initially named SIP Express Router (aka SER), years later – after a fork, a rename and a merge – it converged into into what is now the Kamailio project. It has been a fabulous journey so far, in a more than ever challenging market of real time communications.

Well known for its performances, flexibility and stability, Kamailio has set a relevant footprint in open source and open communications, enabling entities world wide to prototype, launch new services and build scalable businesses, research and innovate in real time communications. More over, the project has succeeded to create an amazing community of users and contributors, the real engine behind its successful evolution.

Its time to celebrate the moment, everyone involved deserving it — thank you all!

In a few months the project will deliver v5.0.0, its 16th public major release, with a restructuring of the source tree to match current modern approaches and more flexibility in choosing the language for building the desired SIP routing rules. Stay tuned!

Thank you for flying Kamailio!
