Tech Teapot: Excellent Open Source Systems Managment Resource

by Mark on November 27, 2007

Jack Hughes is celebrating his first year of blogging at the Tech Teapot. Jack’s an open source systems management and has a lot of interesting and insightful commentary.  It’s hard to believe he’s only been blogging for one year as he’s got quite a body of work. Jack is one of the co-founders of OPENXTRA Ltd. a UK-based network management Value Added Reseller (VAR). I like Jack’s blog because he makes his living off the software he often blogs about and has insight passive observers (finger pointed backwards) that the casual observer just doesn’t see. One thing that has stuck with me from Jack’s recent post is the one universal truth of open source software:

"Once you have a loyal community, by delivering and supporting successive releases over an extended time, users are loath to move to another project."

Unfortunately for me he was talking about a project that competes with mine. Anyhow, happy birthday Jack!
