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
