yeah i also think zenoss should start to thinking about more hybrid business models, heavy license cost is something companies want to avoid and that is key for zenoss success. Specially if you have a high volume of devices on a zenoss core install you can save alot of money but still you want support zenoss financially in some other way.
maybe design some kind of developer support agreement with soft best efforts something blabla many zenoss core admins maybe would like to see a new feature like i.e netflow or Layer-2 topology cdp discovery. what if zenoss could manage to calculate how much money would be needed to get the resources to set it up. then companies or admins could sorta "donate" for the cause and zenoss could gather up a pile of money for that to pay for the development time needed for that. still keeping it all open source ofcourse. -------------------- m2f -------------------- Read this topic online here: http://forums.zenoss.com/viewtopic.php?p=30617#30617 -------------------- m2f -------------------- _______________________________________________ zenoss-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zenoss.org/mailman/listinfo/zenoss-users
