William Hurley wrote an interesting blog article for TalkBMC titled Welcome to Opensville, Population Zero. In it, he talks about how Open Source projects like Nagios are increasingly coming under fire from the pirate mentality found in many commercial offerings. A very interesting, quick read that I thought many of you would be interested in.
Many Open Source projects suffer (directly and indirectly) from the pillaging that often occurs due to overzealous corporate ambitions. There are companies that do contribute back to the projects they derive benefit from, and that’s fantastic. Those business are a part of the Open Source community, just like the project developers, contributors, and users. I take issue, however, with companies that seek to align and associate themselves with a project solely for their own benefit…
Will Hurley posted an interesting blog article at TalkBMC titled “ Welcome to Opensville, Population Zero. He talks about how some companies build their products on Open Source projects like Nagios, but fail to give back to the respective communities. Very interesting read that should provoke some good discussions. Source: TalkBMC, April 18th, 2007 Article.

Nagios.
It was a small step for other, but a big step for us.
The PNP Developer Team is proud to announce that we’ve done the step and are now one of the many great Sourceforge.net projects.
Since a few weeks we have ported our svn repository and the release files to SF.net as the project name pnp4nagios.
PNP is a Nagios addon to establish performance data charts without doing big configuration on them. Our goal is to provide a tool “That just works.”.
Also we decided to establish a few mailinglists to communicate outside our german location.
We hope that you enjoy PNP and send us many nice ideas for further work.
A collection of articles related to configuration and integration of Nagios with other applications was posted at http://searchenterpriselinux.techtarget.com/general/0,295582,sid39_gci1251316,00.html on April 13, 2007. Source: SearchEnterpriseLinux.com, April 13th, 2007 Article.
