Hi L.B
now I must also start giggling.
It is really sad to see what happens at the moment or past months.
Ethan only got business and dollars in mind, and start weeping out
everything that could get in his way.
He and Nagios Enterprise forgot that the community made Nagios such a
success, and not his core software.
Without all the patches,addons,plugins,support etc.. from the COMMUNITY,
Nagios would never ever stand there where it is at the moment.
His reaction on the posting on the list with his "nagios-drama
list"(alias |>/dev/null 2>$1)|
shows us what he think about his community.(waste people´s time)
Maybe he don´t like the Community so much any more, because they give to
much free support on other community sites,
and he loses out with his Nagios Enterprise.
They guys in France postet about Icinga, and he don´t liked it. Why not???
Maybe the community don´t like the way Ethan is going, and read about
Icinga and see
there are the community welcome, and so on ..., and think, hey, lets
give it a go.
Sure that he don´t like that, means he is going to lose out with his
licenses fees.
But my opinion is he is almost forcing the people to give other like
Icinga,OP5,Groundwork etc.. a try.
Really sad to see what is happening with Nagios!!
It is no good publicity for him and Nagios.
The first article is already out on a German site whit a Title "Nagios:
gap between author and community deepens"
Here are a google translate of the artcile
Greetings
