Tuesday, May 19. 2009

This has just appeared on voip-info.org via our Google Alerts and will answer
a lot of questions that appear on the Kamailio and OpenSIPS mailing lists:

All that is left is to switch to LDAP^[?] authentication using the OpenSIPS LDAP module and res_config_ldap Asterisk plugin

Cheers.

Nagios Fork - response from the father of Nagios

Tuesday, May 12. 2009

We're sure you've already heard the news, it's now old news but below are the official thoughts of the father of Nagios:

As many of you know, a recent fork of Nagios has been announced, accompanied with a flurry of activity in both the community and press. An email thread titled “Nagios is dead! Long live Icinga!” began last week on the nagios-devel mailing list to kick this off.

What are my thoughts on this announcement? I think its one of the best things to ever happen to Nagios.

Why? The announcement of the fork, along with the community’s reaction to it has brought to light several things:

- Community interest in furthering Nagios is at an all-time high
- Community developers want to get more directly involved in the future project direction
- Nagios development has been slowed by some bottlenecks
- When the community perceives a problem, the community reacts
- Communication within the community needs to be improved

This entire event has seen some ugly misconceptions and half-truths lobbed in the direction of Nagios Enterprises, the Nagios Project, the Nagios Community, and myself as an individual. That’s unfortunate.

We think it's a good thing as it highlights problems which can clearly be solved if everyone agrees to work things out. If not, it's Open Source software so won't die. That's the beauty!
