[Openslp-announce] That time has come...

[Matt P. <mpe...@ce...>]

Greetings everyone,

That time has come when I've realized that I will no longer be able to spend 
as much time on SLP as I would like.  

I have left SCO as part of a technology purchase by a company called Center7.  
Incedentally, Center7 also purchased the openslp.org and openslp.com domains 
as well as the OpenSLP copyright.  

My new role at Center7 is such that I have become extremely busy working on a 
project that is not related to SLP so I have a very difficult time finding 
time to work on OpenSLP.

Therefore, the time has come for me to hand solicit help from a new project 
maintainer.  Having maintence control of OpenSLP is really quite valueable 
for anyone who has built OpenSLP into a commercial offering -- at least it 
has been for me.  

Though I'd expect the new maintainer to be concious of the requests from the 
community and especially careful to follow IETF standard, they will certainly 
be welcome to make releases and apply patches that are suited to their needs.  
After all there should be some reward for those who spend time maintaining 
the project.

If you are interested in becoming the new OpenSLP project maintainer.  Please 
send email to me at:

Thanks,
