Re: [cosmos-dev] Elevator Speech

[Marius Slavescu <slavescu@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I my mind COSMOS was intended to provide
an extensible framework that will allow interoperability and integration
of system management tools (open source or proprietary), beside of the
exploration and reference implementation of some existing or emerging standards
in this space.

If we tag the result of the project
as being just demonstrative instead of exemplary, in my view we may reduce
the attractiveness of the project.

In the incubation phase it may not reach
the exemplary level, which should be fine.

Thanks !

Subject	[cosmos-dev] Elevator Speech

  Ok, here is my first cut at the elevator speech for COSMOS, so we
have 
something to yell about at the beginning of the phone call.  Please
feel 
free to yell by email beforehand....   Specifically, do each of you
think that your management would agree that they want to continue to 
":invest" in COSMOS with this elevator pitch?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
  COSMOS is an open source, vendor neutral effort to explore emerging
standards in the context of system monitoring.  COSMOS is developing
a 
demonstration implementation using those open standards to prove the 
concepts.   Standards being explored are: SML, CML, WSDM..

   Questions:
   ------------

   i) Can we list the specific standards that we are exploring?  Or
do 
we want to say "Standards being explored include..."  Is
my list 
complete enough?
  ii) It would be more powerful to say that montoring vendors are
cooperating together to do this.   Can we?  Something like "COSMOS
is an 
open source, vendor neutral effort to explore emerging standards in the
context of system monitoring.  The effort includes monitoring vendors
IBM, CA, CompuWare and GroundWork."
