RedMonk Radio Episode 2: Open Source Systems Management, the Austin Mafia, Edge Cases and People Ready

James and I talk about a grab-bag of exciting topics, from open source systems management, to Microsoft’s People Ready campaign, to comments about episode one.

I broke this recording into two parts, so the second part should be available later this week.

We talk to the issues mentioned above.

I also call out Serena‘s ace evangelist Kevin Parker, and how I think Eclipse ALF is already the defacto standard for application lifecycle management tooling, even though it isn’t even baked yet.

A little Tivoli and Austin software – hello Mr Wilby. I admit my most embarrassing moment in a meeting. ever. by some margin, which concerns Tivoli founder Steve Marcie, a great guy, but not hard-charging red meat CEO material.

Microsoft People Ready? I hope so – software doesn’t install itself.

And some other stuff too.
