Heh, well, I just started on 3 months ago and the first thing I took on was making installation Not Suck(TM). OpenNMS has traditionally been a bitch and a half to install, but now we have Yum repos, maintained debian packages, and I'm happy to support it on whatever else needs packaging if someone wants it.
