Hrmm… As many of you no doubt noticed, the community site has been up and down over the past two weeks or so. Actually, its the whole server that runs community, wiki, tracker, and planet. There’s a problem somewhere (obviously) that we’ve had a hell of a time tracking down. We’ve moved some sites to other servers, switched OSes, upped the vm memory, etc. with no luck. Its gotta be in the software, so we’ll have to spend even more time tracking the thing down.

I read a post at Port25 about Sam Ramji – Open Source technical strategist at Microsoft – leaving to join the CodePlex Foundation. This new vacancy at Microsoft creates a unique opportunity for a visionary who could help steer the company towards open standards, open code, and increased community relations and credibility in the ITOM space.
