0:00:25 Introduction

0:01:10 Alex Finger’s thoughts on Dev-Jam 2011

* The German OpenNMS book was written by Alex along with Ronny and Klaus
* Modbus

0:03:30 Ben Reed’s reflections

* If you’re really pedantic and need help getting to sleep, have a look at the massive git commitdiff for Ben’s GPLv3 changes
* Ben’s call on mailing list for MIB dumps

0:06:48 Jeff Gehlbach’s ramblings

* DJ Gregor could not make it to Dev-Jam this year, but he very thoughtfully sent ice cream from Jeni’s
* ExpectJ

0:10:00 Markus Neumann’s take on his first Dev-Jam

* The assets page GWT refresh and related report work will be included in the OpenNMS 1.10 release
* Matt Raykowski’s Invd work is unfolding in a branch called “feature-invd”

0:14:35 Discussion of exactly what OpenNMS 1.10 is and is not

* Today’s 1.10 snapshots are not production quality but are pretty solid.  RPM and Debian packages are available in the “unstable” repo.
* Getting the syslog message parser to work right in 1.8 and prior releases often required a black-belt in regular expressions.  The 1.10 message parsing engine uses pluggable parsers that are much easier to get going.
* IPv6 support is the hallmark feature of OpenNMS 1.10.
* Since Dev-Jam, we’ve been taking stock of the week’s accomplishments to decide which bits are suitable for inclusion in 1.10.
* Post-1.10, the original plan was to tackle a redesign of the notification subsystem, but that is not set in stone.

0:19:20 Tips for aspiring OpenNMS developers to avoid being overwhelmed by the code’s sheer size

* Ben mentions Eclipse instructions on wiki
* For most developers, the minimum set of Maven projects to import is opennms-model, opennms-dao, and probably opennms-services.
