This Week in OpenNMS: Season 1.6, Episode 55: Back from Germany

It’s time for This Week in OpenNMS.  In the last week, most of us were
at the OpenNMS User Conference Europe 2010.  Somehow we still managed to
get a few things done.  ;)


Project Updates
---------------

- Stable: Current Release is 1.6.10

1.6.10 is the current stable release, tagged March 9th.  It adds a few
small features and fixes a few bugs.  For a full list, see the bugzilla
1.6.10 milestone. This is a non-critical but recommended upgrade for
anyone on OpenNMS versions older than 1.6.10.

- Unstable: Current Release is 1.7.10

1.7.10 is the current unstable release, tagged March 9th.  Since 1.7.9,
there have been quite a few bug fixes, and a few new features, including
allowing the remote monitor to phone home over HTTP, pushing data
collection to a TCP daemon, and integration of the Jasper reporting
engine.  A full list of changes is in the release notes.

- Unstable: Bug Fixes

Seth spent some more quality time with Bugzilla and cleaning up bits of
the codebase.

- Unstable: Remote Poller Initialization Scripts

I spent some time last week fixing up the remote poller scripts so that
they provide proper SysV init on Debian- and RPM-based distributions
(and work the same way on both platforms).  Seth later fixed the bugs in
my scripts.  ;)

- Unstable: Remote Poller Map Updates

I spent some free time during the conference fixing a bug in the
map-handling for Mapquest, and also implemented basic OpenLayers
support.  Now it is possible to use RP maps using entirely unencumbered
APIs.


OpenNMS User Conference Europe 2010 a Success
---------------------------------------------

(Like we’d say otherwise! <g>)

So OUCE was a whole lot of fun, and I think everyone really enjoyed it
and got a lot out of it.

Personally, I intend to make a wiki version of my talk, “Getting Started
with OpenNMS Development,” in tutorial form, and all of the talks should
all be available soon on video.  We’ll let you know as soon as they’re
available.

Thanks to Nethinks for putting everything together, things went great!
