Go to LugRadio Live USA 2008, 12-13 April, San Francisco! Watch this, then spread the word !
I like these guys. While I take the OpenNMS project seriously, I don’t take myself very seriously and I think that is the necessary and right attitude to have when it comes to open source. We don’t plan to hit many shows or conferences this year, but this sounded just like the twisted joint we like.
We have been invited to have a booth in their Exhibition so we plan to pack up and head out west next weekend. I’d love to meet some more OpenNMS users out in the Bay area, so please feel free to stop by, say “hi”, tell us you love us or tell us we suck (well, be tactful about the latter). Many thanks to Gareth and Ilan over at SCaLE for hooking us up with the LugRadio guys.

John Mark over at Hyperic posted a blog the other day in part about Bruce Perens’ candidacy for the OSI board and he asked me to comment about it.
Now, John Mark works for Hyperic and I work for the OpenNMS Group and our two companies are partners, so I look with fondness on the folks over at Hyperic (heck, they even invite us to play in their NCAA bracket). But I disagree with their business model being called “open source” and every time I do it publicl...

OpenNMS Takes Bronze
Last year OpenNMS was awarded the Gold medal in TechTarget’s 2007 Product Leadership Awards in the “ Network and IT management platforms ” category. We beat out HP and IBM for the honor, so we were pretty excited.
This year they didn’t have that category, but OpenNMS did take the Bronze in “ Applications and network management “. Not nearly as exciting as winning Gold against two of the big four but we’re still honor...

There’s an old Tom Waits song that goes “Let’s put a new coat of paint on this lonesome old town” that I hear in my head every time I, well, paint. Been humming it recently.
We’re getting the new OpenNMS training center in shape for next week’s class. It should be fun. We’re installing Linux onto the iMacs, got a nice new projector (1280×768 - not 1080p but a good value for the price) and we’ll put together the IKEA ta...

Things are always pretty crazy around here. I write this blog in the hope that other small companies in general and open-source ones in particular might recognize a kindred soul, or perhaps get a tip or two that may help them in their business. I’m still looking for tips on work/life balance myself, because there simply aren’t enough hours in the day.
The key, obviously, is to set priorities. I think that’s true of any business, but I have no problem in stating the obvious. ...
