Final Reminder: Early Bird Discount Ends Friday for OUCA

The first ever OpenNMS Users Conference Americas will be held the last
week in June at the University of Minnesota:

http://www.opennms.org/wiki/OUCA2012

The cost for three days of intense OpenNMS discussion is $300, and if
you register before Friday it's only $250. We also have discounted dorm
rooms available which makes this one of the least expensive ways to get
OpenNMS training available.

Click on the link above to see the current agenda, and hope to see you
there.

OpenNMS 1.10.2 on Hold, OpenNMS 1.10.3 Coming Soon

Gang:

We've discovered a nasty bug in provisiond in 1.10.2. It's so nasty that
we need to release a 1.10.3 with the fix, but we want to do some further
testing, so 1.10.3 will be out on Monday, Tuesday at the latest.

If you have already upgraded and you are experiencing issues with
synchronizing provisioning groups, you can active the "testing"
repository and upgrade to a 1.10.3-0 version that contains the fix.

http://www.opennms.org/wiki/Tutorial_Choosing_a_Release

For those of you who detest detail, you can skip this next part.

The problem arose from an attempt to fix an issue at a client with a) a
large network and b) a lot of provisioning changes. They were
experiencing file handle leaks, and we believe we have found an issue
with a library that we import into OpenNMS. We applied the fix and this
leak disappeared.

Unfortunately, the fix allowed a deadlock condition. A deadlock is a
nasty little loop which occurs when one part of the code is waiting on
another part of the code to finish, and that second part is, in turn,
waiting on the first.

We've addressed the deadlock condition and we are spending the weekend
trying to determine if this also addresses the file handle leak. Once we
are happy that both issues have been resolved, we'll send out a 1.10.3
(and I'll send out another e-mail).

OpenNMS Users Conference Americas Agenda

Gang:

Having just returned from the fourth OpenNMS Users Conference Europe we
are heads down preparing for the first OpenNMS Users Conference Americas
to be held in Minneapolis, MN, USA at the end of June.

http://www.opennms.org/wiki/OUCA2012

The Call for Papers is still open, but below is a list of talks we've
already approved. Remember that the early bird discount ends on 25 May.

==== Planned Talks ====

Keynote: OpenNMS Futures by Matt Brozowski

Matt is the chief architect of OpenNMS and this presentation will
highlight some of the new features currently under development, from a
new user interface, topology discovery and the distribution of collected
data as we make our slow and careful way toward OpenNMS 2.0.

Project Management of OpenNMS Installations by Alex Finger.

This presentation will focus on the best practices for deploying OpenNMS
in a large scale environment. The necessity of good project management
techniques can not be overstated in order to create a successful
solution. Alex was responsible for one of the largest deployments of
OpenNMS when we worked at Swisscom Hospitality Services.

Upcoming OpenNMS Events

Gang:

We have a lot of great events coming up in the next two months.

Next week is our fourth annual OpenNMS Users Conference Europe. There is
still time to sign up (until Friday) if you want to join us in Germany
for four days of classes and presentations:

http://www.opennms-conference.info/

We have also announced our next week-long training class to be held at
company headquarters in Pittsboro, NC, USA the week of 4-8 June:

http://www.opennms.com/training/

Next, our seventh (wow) annual developers conference, Dev-Jam, will be
held in Minneapolis, MN, USA the last week in June.

http://www.opennms.org/wiki/Dev-Jam_2012

If you develop on OpenNMS, this is a great way to spend a week with most
of the major contributors and to sharply hone your skills with respect
to the OpenNMS code.

And now for the big news, we are also announcing the first ever OpenNMS
Users Conference Americas to be held for three days starting 26 June:

http://www.opennms.org/wiki/OUCA2012

Modeled on the European conference, the first day will consist of a

OpenVND - The Open VeNDing Project

Gang:

Here at OpenNMS we like to say we can use the management application to
monitor just about anything you can put on a network.

So how about a drink machine?

We set out to do just that, and the result is the OpenVND project:

http://www.openvnd.org

This is how we manage the soda machine in the office, and we hope it
give you some ideas on solving some of your more complex management
problems.

OpenNMS 1.10 Released

Gang:

I am happy to announce that we have officially released OpenNMS 1.10 -
the first new stable release since June of 2010. A lot of work went into
this release, and although the web user interface has not changed much,
this version of OpenNMS should be more stable and better performing than
any version before it.

We delayed the release by 10 days in order to document a lot of the
changes. You can visit the new documentation here:

http://www.opennms.org/wiki/Docu-overview

and the full release notes can be found here:

http://www.opennms.org/wiki/What%27s_New_in_OpenNMS_1.10

We hope you find it useful.

* What's New in OpenNMS 1/10 *

** Architectural Changes

*** IPv6 Support

The OpenNMS core was completely refactored in 1.10 to deal with IP
addresses in a consistent manner, including adding complete IPv6
support. You should now be able to use IPv6 addresses anywhere you would

The First OpenNMS Training Courses in 2012: USA and UK

Gang:

I am happy to announce that we have scheduled the first two training courses for the new year, and these will
be the first ones taught on OpenNMS 1.10 (the latest major stable OpenNMS release).

There is one week-long course being taught at our company headquarters in Pittsboro, NC, USA the week of 26
February, and another week-long course being held at the University of Southampton in Southampton,
Hampshire, UK the week of 27 March. 

These courses are the fastest, most cost-efficient way to get up to speed on OpenNMS quickly and I hope to see
you there. Space is limited, so please register early:
