From: announce-admin@opennms.org To: announce@www.opennms.org Date: Tue, 10 Oct 2000 21:47:30 -0500 (CDT) Subject: [opennms-announce] OpenNMS Update v1.29 ================ OpenNMS Update ================ Vol 1., Issue 29 ================ In this week's installment... * Project Status + Progress Continues + Coding Projects Underway * Live and In Person! Flip-flops! * The Wish List * Quote of the Week ============== Project Status ============== Progress Continues: It's been a week since our last update, and progress continues on all fronts, but predominantly the development front. This is another one of those weeks of winning many minor battles, but no major milestones. Our next major announcement should be revolving around a build milestone we've targeted for later this month. The build will include updated user interfaces (JDK 1.3 support), the SCM, the events subsystem, some updates/fixes to jSNMP, database utilities, and some build scripts. We're closing in on some significant functionality, but still have miles to go before we sleep. And miles to go before we sleep. Coding Projects Underway: * create.sql -- All references to a Distributed Poller Number (dpNumber) have been changed to reference a dpName instead. This should help to make things a little more "administrator friendly". * Events -- SOAP is the right answer, with no documentation. If it were documented, it would be perfect. Much pain is felt due to the lack of documentation and good reference materials. But then again, what doesn't kill us makes us stronger. * SCM -- Still integrating the distributed processing. Early release of code is in review. * icmpd/Perl -- No update. * Filters -- Working on the hooks to the EUI * Java MIB Compiler -- Still no details on this one. Haven't had time to look thru the ASN.1-to-MIB converter. Any experience out there on this one? * jSNMP -- Counter64 support in the works. * AWT-to-Swing Conversion -- Kicks off tomorrow. Naga is the man! =============================== Live and In Person! Flip-flops! =============================== He's only been allowed out of the office once before, and that time we found ourselves amongst fire-breathers (Shout outs to the BBQ Posse!) Against our better judgement, we've let him out again. That's right, Ladies and Gentlemen. Step right up. Come for the food, stay for the freak! Our very own Luke "Flip-flops" Rindfuss will be appearing live, without a net, at this year's Atlanta Linux Showcase, manning the booth for OpenNMS! As he is only allowed outside of the state with his own private handlers (and permission from his probation officer), Luke is prepared to make the most of his trip. Stop by the booth and hit him up for a T-shirt, a yo-yo, or some kind of blatant marketing trinket. Stop by the booth in Atlanta if you get a chance! We look forward to seeing ya! And be sure to tell ol' Flip-flops that Ma Grind sent ya! ============= The Wish List ============= Anybody got a good web-accessible SNMP stack with Counter64s available for read access? How about just building the UCD stuff with the SIT-CTR MIB loaded? I gave it a quick shot and broke sumthin... Anyway, your help is, as always, both requested and appreciated in regards to the following topics: * Add SNMPv3 functionality to jSNMP * Implement the event correlation spec. * Review the database design * Consider the integration points for CIM/WBEM support * Take a look at the ASN.1-to-XML conversion utilities that are available and let us know what you think... JavaCup parser for MIBs or ASN.1 to XML conversion. Word to the contingent in Frankfurt there for the presentation last week: Copies of the slides will be available later this week! ================= Quote of the Week ================= Last week, while speaking at LinuxWorldExpo in Frankfurt, Donald Rosenberg, recognized expert on open source licensing and business issues and author of the newly published "Open Source: The Unauthorized White Papers", while explaining some of the sociological hurdles facing open source: "Academic-types like to be witty and ironic and say things you wouldn't necessarily expect. Business people don't like that." Preach on, brother man, preach on! Can I get an "Amen"? Amen! Until next week, Shane O. ======== Shane O'Donnell OpenNMS shaneo@opennms.org ================== Ich bin ein Frankfurter! _______________________________________________ announce mailing list (announce@opennms.org) To subscribe, unsubscribe, or change your list options, go to: http://www.opennms.org/mailman/listinfo/announce
