I wish you the best in your new adventure. There is indeed a great deal of
work from the first 0.1 release annonce on your blog ;-)
As for the big IT companies and their bosses, I hope (won't hold my breath
though...) the mentalities will evolve, as I know for sure that admins in
those structure surely want to help.
*Good** l*uck a*nd** continued **st*rength :-)

> As some of you already know today is my last day as a sysadmin. I loved

>
> But after some years of full time sysadmin and part-time time Shinken, it

> That's why, thanks to a French region subvention that will pay me for some

> : 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
