+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ This message is being sent to individuals who have expressed interest in the UCL OSI Management oftware in the past and to the ISODE list. Please reply to me individually or to the list introduced below and not to the ISODE list nor to the individual addresees! +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Quite a number of people have now taken the UCL "Osimis" network management software and presumably some of these have extended it or modified it to suit their own requirements. Others must be working along related lines using software from other sources. We think it would be a good idea if implementors and users of OSI management software exchanged information on their experiences. Perhaps we could also develop a strategy for sharing software based upon a common platform. For example, it would be very useful if we could swap implementations of specific Managed Object classes or clients. In order to promote discussion on these issues we have set up a mailing list at ucl called osimis@cs.ucl.ac.uk. To subscribe to it please send a message to osimis-request@cs.ucl.ac.uk. Graham Knight
