Time is passing fast, no doubt, feels like yesterday when we were toying with the idea of organizing a Kamailio related conference and now we are one week before its 4th edition.

Every year there was an increase in the number of the attendees and we are going to run full house this edition. Of course, we take this chance to celebrate 15 years of development for Kamailio, a long journey, not always smooth, but everything ended up strengthening the project. Being the oldest very active developer, I (Daniel-Constantin Mierla) can say that Kamailio has one of the most active, challenging and pleasant to work with community, including here all the developers and users, this being the main reason of getting to where we are now with the project. Many thanks to all of you for that!

Back to the next week, some last minutes updates.

The trip to Fraunhofer Fokus Institute is confirmed and if nothing unexpected happens, those that registered for workshops can choose to visit the NGNI laboratories. It will worth it, few very interesting demos will be shown on site and you can interact with some of the bleeding technologies that may shape the future of how we communicate and interact in real time with all things around us. A shuttle bus will be available to transport between Kamailio World location and Fokus institute. More details are available at:

• https://www.kamailioworld.com/k04/fokus-ngni-laboratories/

If you haven’t participated at the past editions, take a bit of time to get familiar with the address of the event:

Like in the past, it is a single track conference, the schedule is available at:

• https://www.kamailioworld.com/k04/schedule/

The exhibitors are preparing again very interesting product or services show cases and demos for the entire duration of the conference days. Expect some local 4G/VoLTE infrastructure from NG Voice and Core Network Dynamics. Matrix.org returns this year with an integration between SIP and the matrix federating protocol and platform. Digium will give you the chance to play with their latest SIP phones as well as see demos about the new cool Asterisk features. A consistent team from Sipwise will be around to reveal all the bits of SIP:Provider platform.

Special thanks to all sponsors that allowed us to bring again an amazing group of speakers: FhG Fokus, Asipto, Sipwise, Sipgate, Simwood, Evariste Systems, Matrix.org, Digium, Core Network Dynamics, Voicetel, DIDx and Pascom.

See you next with in Berlin!

Time is passing and Kamailio World Conference 2016 is approaching at fast pace – only four weeks left till the start of the event!

The schedule is pretty much nailed down, 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.

A larger group of speakers is participating to this edition. There was a big number of speaking proposals and we wanted to highlight more of the people that had a relevant contribution to the evolution of the project. To accommodate properly, two more discussion panels were added, keeping also the classic VUC panel.

The topics 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.

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

• https://www.kamailioworld.com

Don’t forget that this year Kamailio celebrates 15 years of development, the party is at Kamailio World!

We expect to fill 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!

Many thanks to our sponsors that made possible this event: FhG Fokus, Asipto, Sipwise, Matrix.org, Sipgate, Simwood, NG Voice, Digium, VoiceTel, Evariste Systems, Core Network Dynamics, Pascom, Didx.net.

Again, we are filling two days and a half of sessions related to real time communications, covering Kamailio, Asterisk or FreeSwitch and common use cases such as telephony services, WebRTC, IMS/VoLTE or OTT platforms. The first day afternoon is hosting the workshops, the sessions where to expect more hands on examples.

We are also try to finalize a way to offer a trip to Fraunhofer Fokus Institute for seeing some of their interesting demos on the FUSECO and 5G playgrounds in the NGNI (Next Generation Network Infrastructure) department coordinated by Prof. Dr. Thomas Magedanz.

With the celebration of 15 years of development of Kamailio, we tried to bring together some of the past developers to share more about internals of Kamailio, but also discuss about the future of the project – two open discussion panels being scheduled on these topics.

It looks like is going to be the greatest of the editions so far, with many of the community members around as well as other friendly open source projects. Definitely an edition one must not miss! Don’t delay your registration, the capacity of the room is limited and we expect to be fully booked! Register now!

Looking forward to meeting many of you in Berlin!
