In a March 2008 feature article here on the ebizQ site, a representative of GroundWork Open Source Inc. wrote about “Merging Open Source and Proprietary Systems Management.” Implicit in that subject is the merger of all the software being managed in some way shape or form. So we asked Thomas Stocking, GroundWork Co-Founder and Senior Technical Staff Member to join us to discuss how a commercial open source company like his works with other open source software (OSS) projects and companies, including Red Hat, Nagios and Ganglia.
Thomas has more than 15 years of development and technical experience in many aspects of IT infrastructure management. Prior to GroundWork he served as Director of Information Security at SiteROCK, a managed service provider (MSP) in the Network Operations services space. Previous to SiteROCK he was founder and CEO of InSync Communications, founded with the goal of building a better IT services contracting platform.
