[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..
<mdw>
Part of what we are developing is a
consumeable set of services. Chris is interested in shipping what we put
together as part of his integration effort.
On that note, perhaps we can say something
like, "leveraging management standards for integration"....
</mdw>
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?
<mdw>
Given this is an elevator pitch, rather than
listing them, would could say "standards used for Systems Management"
</mdw>
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."
<mdw>
It is important to note the vendors that are
working together. Over time, COSMOS will evolve to be about more than
monitoring, so I'd like to have a broader term. We could say something
like "operations management vendors such as CA, Compuware, and
IBM....".
</mdw>
