[INUG-Users] An open source web based user interface for Netcool

[Jacob Steinberger]

Folks, please consider this conversation closed. The original poster  
has already been removed from INUG and further posts from employees  
associated with iFountain have been terminated.

While the email initially looks like a great thing to help the IBMuse  
Netcool GUI move in a direction that we have longed for, the last half  
of his email and Blurry's forwarding of his private email, shows that  
he (and iFountain) are out to make a buck.

Trying to sell something, whether it's a product, consulting services  
or support, is strictly against the TOS of INUG. Any violators of this  
policy will be removed from the list.

Questions and comments can be directed to admin at netcoolusers.org.

ps. Additionally, when a potential vendor's website (iFoutain's) states ...

Thou shall have unrestricted access to the software
The software products will be available for download from the website  
without barriers. The community will be able to download and start  
using the software right away.

... yet requires you to create an account to download software, you  
have to sit back and go "humm".
