Hi, and good luck to your new life, coding a better world ;-)
Making a new company and keep it alive throught the jungle of IT companies with
a such project as Shinken, will not be easy, but from my point of view it's the
only way to grow and put shinken as a major monitoring solution.
Great job done, and i hope great great jobs to do in the future.
Many thanks for all already done !

Objet: [Shinken-devel] New born : Shinken Solutions
Hi all,
As some of you already know today is my last day as a sysadmin. I loved this
job because it make me used and build my own monitoring tool, and push its
limit far beyond I though when I start the Shinken POC :p
But after some years of full time sysadmin and part-time time Shinken, it was
too much hard to manage, and so it's a good time to switch and keep only my
real passion : coding!
That's why, thanks to a French region subvention that will pay me for some
months, I am happy to announce a new born (not a British Royal Baby sorry) :
Shinken Solutions. I'm officially starting tomorrow after bringing a desktop, a
chair and, of course, a coffee machine!
Shinken Solutions will focus on Shinken dev by proposing a Long Term Support
version based on the community version. This version will be under subscription
access with support and maintenance (like RedHat). It will also provide
training, advanced consultancy and custom devs. I don't plan to do integration
job, because I am a coder, not an integrator :p
This version will include the core from my github repo, and some of the
community modules (expect classic modules like WebUI, LiveStatus or ip-tag
ones), but also new ones, mainly about WebUI custom views or CMDB import
modules.
Now the darker side of this : some of theses modules will be automatically
pushed under shinken.io , but some won't. All modules that will be about
proprietary tools (thing about Oracle database custom views or VMWare import
module) won't be.
When I look back at the numerous Shinken installations on big French IT from
"open source integrators", without them helping the project with a single line
of code nor even give a simple reference, that's the fairest way I found for
helping the project :)
As I can see, it's also like this Cfengine or Puppet projects are doing so why
not.
One important side note for this : I will never block a Shinken patch, pack or
modules that will touch such proprietary tools :D It's just that I won't
publish mines. I will never block the core as Nagios did for years, I want this
project to get higher, not to lost all for what we work during theses last
years :)
I really hope this will work and will allow me to got more time for the
project, and even hire devs and designer for working on the Shinken project at
full time! I can even dream about someone that will be enhancing the
documentation :p
So you can expect me to be a bit more on the forums and in the github repos,
I'm a Shinken full-timer now :D
And if you got a question about all of this, just drop me a mail :D
Jean, was a sysadmin, now a coder ^-^
Ps: don't run to look at the shinken-solutions website, I didn't publish it :)
