This Week in OpenNMS: Minnesota On My Mind

by Benjamin Reed: August 2, 2010

It’s time for This Week in OpenNMS. Last week was DevJam 2010, where members of the Order of the Green Polo, OpenNMS Group employees, and friends converged on the University of Minnesota campus in Minneapolis and got together for a week of coding, designing, planning… and not incidentally some fine eating, drinking and ferret-fondling.  (Check out Tarus’s DevJam posts for more details.)
