This Week in OpenNMS: Meet the new Bossie, same as the old Bossie

by bcampbel: August 30, 2010

It’s time for This Week in OpenNMS. Two announcements to start us off:

(1) We’re very excited to announce that, for the second year running, the OpenNMS  project has received InfoWorld’s prestigious Bossie (Best of Open Source Software) award in the “networking software” category.

(2) Here at OpenNMS Group, we’re trying to find out more about the OpenNMS user community.  If you’re an OpenNMS user, could you take a couple of minutes and answer the ten questions on this survey?  You can answer anonymously if you like; we’re just interested in finding out more about the settings in which folks are using OpenNMS. (Thanks!)

Until Next Week…

As always, if there’s anything you’d like me to talk about in a future TWiO, or you just have a comment or criticism that you’d like to share, don’t hesitate to say hi.

(And again – we sure would appreciate it if you could spare a couple of minutes to take that user survey.)
