I think it's quite cool that a company like BMC supports open source to the extent of starting the Open Management Consortium. Thanks in no small part to you, I'm sure. It just goes to show that IT management is a huge space and there's room and need for all sorts. Hi whurley,

I was saddened to hear that they had abandoned the project, but not surprised. Successful projects at start-ups aren't always seen as a good thing if there's no revenue attached. As far as your comment on someone telling the Open Management Consortium, I'm the co-founder of the organization and we started talking to Matt about supporting openQRM moments after the new broke that Qlusters was abandoning it. So in short; we're on it. Matt's a great guy, and we're trying to see what support we can provide so that the project can continue to thrive. Love the site BTW :) ttyl, whurley -- whurley Twitter - http://twitter.com/whurley Chairman, Open Management Consortium Chief Architect, Open Source Strategy, BMC Software whurley@ieee.org Hi Julia,
