Over the past several years IBM has made a significant investment in the open source project SIS, primarily as part of the OSCAR open source HPC project. Since the major distributors of Linux have decided not to include this install mechanism in their products, and the interest in this install mechanism has waned within IBM, the LTC (Linux Technology Center) has decided to not fund this project in 2004. In light of this development, we have been seeking candidates to take over the role of maintainer for SytemConfigurator and SystemInstaller. The good news is that Dann Frazier, has agreed to serve as the new maintainer of SystemConfigurator, and Michael Chase-Salerno has agreed to take over the role of maintainer for SystemInstaller. They have generously agreed to take on this responsibility on their personal time. So please take this into consideration when you ask for their assistance. Both Dann and Mike are long time members of the SIS community. They have both played an active role in the development/enhancement of SIS and continue to contribute to SIS. While Dann is new to taking on the role of maintainer for SystemConfigurator, Mike was the previous maintainer of SystemInstaller. We feel fortunate to put these products in such able hands. Please extend a warm welcome to Mike and Dann. It has been a privilege for me to work on SIS. I will truly miss the camaraderie and the challenge.
