Sorry, I did realise part of this was OT for the devel list - AFTER I'd

Would AMQP get a look in for Spacewalk regardless of the ultimate future
direction of Red Hat? OSAD is still the most unreliable part of
Spacewalk/Satellite in my experience.
I think I already answered, but, no. The osad/jabberd will "not be
changed in Spacewalk and will continue to use osad / jabberd for the
near term future".
We have no plans to make this change within Spacewalk. I would be happy
to have someone contribute this ability to Spacewalk though.

Will speak to our account rep about the other stuff.
Finally, is there going to be an open source project for System Engine?
Somewhere to discuss direction, development etc? Or will it be Red Hat
internal only?
Cheers

Red Hat is committed to continue to sponsor Spacewalk. Red Hat will
continue to be actively involved in Spacewalk, contributing code
upstream, as RHN Satellite today continues to be Red Hat's primary
systems management solution for managing the life cycle of Red Hat
Enterprise Linux for traditional data centers. Over time our
contributions though will go down as we approach the End of Life for
Satellite 5.x for our customers.

The Satellite product question is best answered from your Red Hat
account rep in private. I'm more than willing to share the presentation
we made last week at the Summit (which is public information now) and
give a commitment that we are not abandoning the Spacewalk project, but
acknowledging that our long term strategy for this code base has
changed. I'm pleased to say we have a strong community of users as well
as growing list of enhacement & bugfix contributors.
