网管软体 OpenNMS 推出1.8版，获选为 SourceForge 2010 六月 Project of the Month

嗯，OpenNMS Stable 1.8 终于推出了，有不少新功能，可以参考  New in OpenNMS 1.8

另外，OpenNMS 自由软体专案被选为 SourceForge.net: Project of the Month, June 2010 ，我随手选几个重点：
* 2000年三月在 SourceForge 注册，专案编号 4141 （没错，已经十年了！）
* 2004 成立 The OpenNMS Group 公司，提供技术服务，目前已经在24个国家有客户了。
* 客户有多大？文章中举了几个：
1. Papa Johns Pizza: "At Papa Johns Pizza, they have been using OpenNMS for years to monitor a billion dollar internet product line. Currently, they are extending OpenNMS remote monitors into every one of their 2500 domestic stores."
2. Swisscom Hospitality Services: "Swisscom Hospitality Services provides internet access to hotels, conferences and other public places throughout Europe. They are monitoring 52,000 devices with a single instance of OpenNMS." (PowerOp: 这一个好像就是我抱怨过 爆贵 的 Swisscom Eurospot ，偏偏很多旅馆里面上网都靠这家 XD)
3. Rackspace: "Rackspace Managed Hosting has over 70,000 customers in data centers from
London, throughout the US, to Hong Kong. In each one OpenNMS is used to
insure that clients network services are operational and responsive." （PowerOp: Rackspace 好像是蛮有名的虚拟主机服务）
4. New Edge Networks: "At New Edge Networks, they have integrated OpenNMS performance graphs directly into their customer portal. They are collecting 1.2 million
data points concerning bandwidth, errors and other information -- every
five minutes."

老话一句，Free / Open Source Software 是有商机的，只是我天资鲁钝，还没找到，目前纯粹还是玩好玩的 XD
