There is no doubt the traditional IT landscape of the last 20 years is going through a substantial transformation on […]

OpenNMS - Making Money the Old Fashion Way
Sunday, June 15th, 2008Taurus and gang are the little engine that could… Their business model is structured such that it is hard for them to get VC (as I hear Tarus SCREAM and fear many comments to come).

Mark Hinkle on Open Source Systems Management
Monday, April 14th, 2008Mark has written a great article for Linux Today summarizing some of the open source activities over the last few weeks. He gives a little history of the “Little 4″ and he also does a good job summarizing some of the recent Gartner analalysis on Microsoft and open source.

February 2008 - Review Post
Tuesday, March 4th, 2008Doug McClure started doing an end month review and I think it is a great idea. In fact it is Doug who first tutored me on how to get my blog site started so it makes sense that I would continue to copy him. Here’s a quick look at Feb 08:
