[Openflow-dev] Re: Openflow Version Status and Version Number?

[Daniele T. <d.t...@ic...>]

Dear Arnold,

you are right. Definitely. We should pay some more attention to these 
details that tend to confuse people. Thanks.

About your concerns to the project development: OpenFlow is alive, although 
all the latest development has taken place on the CVS rather than through 
new releases. We have some great enhancements and extensions to apply to 
OpenFlow as soon as "the right time" comes up.

We currently use OpenFlow as the workflow engine in all of our projects. 
This is good to OpenFlow itself because it makes it grow as a practical 
tool rather than a theoretical speculation. On the other hand, since our 
projects are paid and OpenFlow is not, this leaves us with the problem of 
finding time to take care of the confusing details you came up with. Even 
though they are important for an open-source project.

Should you want to ask some more OpenFlow-related question there is a 
mailing list you can write to (I'm going to post this e-mail to the list 
as well). You can also write to me/icube if you want, of course. Should 
you want to talk to somebody for information on our services (support to 
development, tutoring, counseling...) I invite you to write to my boss, 
Paolo Bizzarri.

Thank you for your interest in OpenFlow,
 Daniele
