Hello from the Open Source Expo! On the second day of the second Open Source Expo 09 in Karlsruhe, we have found a few moments to report back live from our booth.
So far, there has been a steady flow of visitors and a good response – we even got into the limelight to make a presentation on the Open Stage yesterday. Cheers to Julian for coming in to help out on the microphone and promote Icinga a bit. He spoke on open source monitoring and where Icinga and Nagios fit in.
With over 700 visitors, this year’s Expo is focused on solutions for industry and the latest technologies out of the community. So Icinga fits in well, and we are pretty excited to present next to big names the likes of Ruby on Rails, OpenSUSE, OpenStreetMap, and many others.
Two days ago we presented the actual 1.0 Release an an early demo of the new webinterface at Open Source Monitoring Conference in Nuremberg here.
Here you can have a look on the presentation.
Demo for the alpha version will be available soon.
Nice weekend.
Hi, I have recently been invited to join the Icinga team to assist with blogging, twittering and general marketing of Icinga. I feel very privileged to be asked to assist with this project in this way! and I hope that I can bring some reality with all the technical talk! OK so maybe just my understanding :D
So a little about me ???
Name: Scott Evans
I’m Male, 33 years old, Married! I live in Tasmania, Australia and my interests are self teaching (myself) the ways of ubuntu (both server and desktop) I’ve been running my own email/web server now for about 18 months and have been using Icinga since the initial release! I’ve also been using ubuntu since Dapper 6.06LTS. Although I’m not from a technical background, I strive to learn! (this is something I never did in high school!) also as an Amateur Radio enthusiast, I have a good knowledge on networking, as part of my hobby includes Packet Radio this is like wifi, just a lot slower! (1200 baud.) on a single frequency!
So I’ll be updating regularly on the new and upcoming features that will be in future releases of Icinga… Stay tune for more updates soon :)
We just started the day with a great breakfast. Now everybody is set up, connected to the network and we are starting with a git workshop for everybody:
The agenda for today has a couple of task, e.g.:
- multi language documentation support
- quality review of our new web interface
- deployment and installation strategy for api and web interface
- further roadmap after the alpha release
Our wishes go to Michael Friedrich: He is ill and was not able to come. Get well soon.
A few minutes ago, nearly everybody of the Icinga Team arrived at the Linuxhotel in Essen. We have a big agenda for the weekend regarding the upcoming alpha release, the future release plan and various set of technical questions regarding all areas of the project.
Stay tuned for updates and pictures. Now it’s time for dinner.
Not too long ago, Team Icinga was at the Nagios Workshop in Kassel presenting to a sizeable crowd. In October we plan to do it again at the OSMC (Open Source Monitoring Conference), which is also heavily focused on Nagios. Nonetheless, it should be a great opportunity to introduce Icinga to the Nagios experts that will be there and hear some constructive feedback.
By then Icinga should have optimized IDOUtils, API, interface and documentation, as we plan (drum roll) to unveil version 1 Alpha there. Icinga will then be about 6 months old, so we will be able to speak more in depth on the core projects and IDOUTils, such as the new PHP based web interface and give some examples on the application of the API. Our entire Icinga team plans to be there for the formal introduction, so we hope to see some familiar faces once again.
