Open Source Network Management Beats IBM and HP
mjhuot writes "Last week SearchNetworking.com announced their Product Leadership Awards for 2007. It was a pleasant surprise to see an open source project, OpenNMS, win the Gold in their Network and IT Management Platforms category. OpenNMS beat out the established players of Hewlett-Packard's OpenView and IBM's Tivoli. This was based on a user survey of all IT solutions, not just open source; it demonstrates that open source software is indeed making inroads into the enterprise."
I can't get too http://www.opennms.org/. Their network management sucks!!!! :P

Wow, thank you thank you. I can't believe I'm up here. To be even nominated in this category along with such greats as HP OpenView and IBM Tivoli was honor enough. I need to thank so many people. First the programmers, without you none of this could have happened. My project managers brozow, dhustace, and tarus, you've been so great. How can I forget sourceforge for hosting out project? Wow, we've worked so hard on this for so long, to finally be recognized is so wonderful. I can't forget my parents, thanks mom and dad. And Richard Stallman, without you, none of this open-source stuff would have taken off thanks. It's been so hard, but I think you really like me, you really do like me.
Of course some care have to be put into not making sure that model does not lead to one big costumer in the services, training and support department does not get to lead the development of the product,
Why would someone who sells costumes have anything to do with software development? I'm confused.
I develop software for a living, but I've never been required to wear any particular costume.

You being a non-native English speaker doesn't mean I can't make some humor at your expense :-)
I don't know why I was modded flamebait; it was supposed to be funny.
The boss should be thinking: "My employee is an idiot trying to send me to a site that he knew in all probability would be down right now, but had he sent it to me tomorrow, or next week even, I would be none the wiser. Hmm, I wonder how many other short sited decisions he's made that effects my company?"
