# OpenSS7 Project

Welcome to the OpenSS7 Site! First, a Thank You to Greg Herlein of Herlein Engineering for hosting this site alongside the OpenSwitch project.

This is a proposal for an open-source development project (called OpenSS7) to provide a robust and GPL'ed SS7 stack for Linux and other UN*X operating systems. Perhaps we should have called it LinuxSS7, or SS7-For-The-Common-Man, or SS7-For-The-Rest-Of-Us, but we're kinda attached to the name OpenSS7 as this is an open-source project.
