[cosmos-dev] Elevator Speech

[Oliver E Cole <oec@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

 Ok, here is my first cut at the elevator speech for COSMOS, so we have 
something to yell about at the beginning of the phone call.  Please feel 
free to yell by email beforehand....   Specifically, do each of you 
think that your management would agree that they want to continue to 
":invest" in COSMOS with this elevator pitch?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 COSMOS is an open source, vendor neutral effort to explore emerging 
standards in the context of system monitoring.  COSMOS is developing a 
demonstration implementation using those open standards to prove the 
concepts.   Standards being explored are: SML, CML, WSDM..

  Questions:
  ------------

  i) Can we list the specific standards that we are exploring?  Or do 
we want to say "Standards being explored include..."  Is my list 
complete enough?
 ii) It would be more powerful to say that montoring vendors are 
cooperating together to do this.   Can we?  Something like "COSMOS is an 
open source, vendor neutral effort to explore emerging standards in the 
context of system monitoring.  The effort includes monitoring vendors 
IBM, CA, CompuWare and GroundWork."
