John Willis and I kick off another episode talking about the Tivoli Agent Builder training he's currently doing. This scoots me down memory lane to where I once worked on a similar hunk of software for BMC.

We then talk about the telneting and other remote command-shell applications available for the iPhone - seemingly no SSH, though. Tracking back into IBM land John asks briefly about the iLog acquisition, and we talk about a new open source event management startup in the works.

Finally, we wrap-up with me amazed at the explosion in cloud-hype chatter out there and we spend a pretty large chunk of time talking about thin desktops right before I wrap up by plugging my recent piece on collaborative IT management.

Craig tells us about his research on telcos using open source IT management software, like OpenNMS. Check out his site for more. My voice gets crackly towards the end, sorry about that.

As Matt works on the architecture of OpenNMS, I drill him about OpenNMS's, you know, architecture: the different components, how they talk with each other, and more. If you're someone who makes IT management software, you might like this one.

Wherein we discuss how Bill's employer came to use OpenNMS.

Tarus gives an overview of what's been happening at DevJam and OpenNMS in general. Before wrapping up, I ask him how OpenNMS does product management, that is, determining what features get in.

After discussing what Ben does with OpenNMS, we pick up the conversation about project management in OpenNMS. And we also talk of dice-nerdery.

JavaFX Preview SDK

In this week's episode, Ryan and I got to talk with Sun's Josh Marinacci about the JavaFX Preview SDK release today. We went over the basics in the SDK and Josh gave us his view of the workflows and different features in the JavaFX SDK. See here for the interview and demo videos I mention in the podcast.

RIA News

After wrapping up the JavaFX portion of the show, we get on to talking about the patent mine-field of video encoding, SVG vs. FXD, the next Flex SDK version ("Gumbo"), and then my theory that we'll eventually see desktop web servers to better work with desktop RIAs.
