    Hyperic: Java-based Cross-platform Management
    by Sam Ramji on June 15, 2007

    I had the opportunity to sit down with Javier Soltero, CEO of Hyperic last month in San Francisco at the OSBC. We had a great discussion, which I opened bluntly by saying, “You don’t need to tell me about your software; I’ve seen it, my lab team thinks it’s cool, and we’re impressed.” He was happy to hear it but probably not surprised. Javier and Doug MacEachern (their CTO, and a maintainer for... more

    OSBC and What It’s All About

    OSBC made me think. There were some simple highlights (like introducing myself and being recognzied as “a Port 25 blogger”…my 1.5 minutes of fame).

But what really started me thinking... more
