Fokus still uses Kamailio in its research projects (such as OpenIMSCore) and it is hosting events related to the project, such as developer meetings or Kamailio World Conference. @@ -24,11 +24,11 @@ Github pull requests are the recommended way to contribute to Kamailio source co * https://github.com/kamailio/kamailio/pulls -To keep a coherent and consitent history of the development, the commit messages format and content must follow the rules detailed at: +To keep a coherent and consistent history of the development, the commit messages format and content must follow the rules detailed at: * https://www.kamailio.org/wiki/devel/github-contributions -Contributions must conform with licensing rules of Kamailio project. +Contributions must conform with licensing rules of the Kamailio project. ## License @@ -38,7 +38,7 @@ Each source code file contains at the top the license and copyright details.
