| [cosmos-dev] Final elevator speech |
|
Summarizing the Elevator Pitch call today: It was decided that it was not necessary (or even desireable) to articulate the exact software that would be reuseable. Strategic ambuguity. If we were going to try and go out and get other people to join, I think this would be bad, but since our current "users" are already members and they are happy with this, it is ok to leave it. In this case, I see no advantage to reworking the already existing words just to try to gain wordsmith glory. It does add a lot to say that the group contains some big names, however, so I suggest adding a few words in the middle of the existing elevator speech as follows: The COSMOS (COmmunity-driven Systems Management in Open Source) project, with participation by systems management vendors such as CA, Compuware and IBM, aims to provide an extensible, standards-based platform upon which software developers can create specialized, differentiated and inter-operable offerings of tools for system management Sorry for the interruption of your real work ;) --oec -- -- -------------------------------------------------------------------- Oliver E Cole oec@xxxxxxxxxxxxx OC Systems www.ocsystems.com 9990 Lee Hwy, Suite 270 (v) 703.359.8160 x160 Fairfax, VA, 22030 (f) 703.359.8161 |
