The Order of the Blue Polo

Gang:

As many of you know, the OpenNMS project is run by a super-secret  
cabal of ex-Illuminati called the Order of the Green Polo. The  
membership requirements are pretty stringent (and the initiation  
process is obscenely biological) and thus only the clinically  
dedicated tend to be involved.

However, we know that there are others out there that simply enjoy  
using OpenNMS to solve their management needs (or at least enjoy  
downloading it - our servers post several days with greater than 300  
GB of traffic every time we do a release) and now we want to hear your  
story.

Becoming a member of The Order of the Blue Polo is simple: write to us  
a testimonial about why you like OpenNMS and how you use it. It would  
also be cool if you tell us the size of your network (number of  
devices, interfaces, and services). In exchange we'll send you a super  
limited edition, very nice Royal Blue polo shirt embroidered with the  
OpenNMS logo. This is open to anyone on any size network in any  
country, subject to a few small requirements:

1) We get to print your testimonial on our website.

2) We get to print your name on our website.

3) We get to print the name of your company on our website.

In our experience that last requirement is a bit of a sticky one. We  
have some commercial support clients in the financial sector that make  
us sign NDAs where we can't even acknowledge they exist (seriously).  
To make things easier, we won't use your company's logo, and the  
header of the Order of the Blue Polo page will include the text:

"These testimonials reflect the opinions of the people writing them  
and not their employer. This should not be considered an official  
endorsement or recommendation by any of the companies listed. Think of  
these as director's commentaries you find on DVDs with the same  
disclaimer that the movie studios use (and we all fast-forward  
through) at the beginning of the film."

We need that information for two reasons: first, these shirts are  
really nice and they are not cheap, and second we are doing this to  
raise a greater awareness of how OpenNMS is being used, so we want to  
show that it is being used by real companies and not just some guy in  
his basement (although to all you guys in your basements using OpenNMS  
- we still love you, just not enough to send you a shirt).

To join, send your testimonial to [email protected] along with your  
shirt size and a mailing address. We'll have your shirt to you within  
three to four weeks. If you send us a picture of you wearing your  
shirt, we'll be more than happy to add it to the website.

Finally, we reserve the right to limit the number of members in the  
OBP (we don't have unlimited money to spend on this joint). It will be  
first come, first served.
