Re: [Shinken-devel] New born : Shinken Solutions

[Denis G. <dt....@gm...>]

I wish you the best in your new adventure. There is indeed a great deal of
work from the first 0.1 release annonce on your blog ;-)

As for the big IT companies and their bosses, I hope (won't hold my breath
though...) the mentalities will evolve, as I know for sure that admins in
those structure surely want to help.

*Good** l*uck a*nd** continued **st*rength :-)
