Just found the CMDB Federation white paper today. This is the much anticipated first deliverable from the joint working group made up of IBM, BMC, HP, Microsoft, Fujitsu and CA. You can download it here or here.

Update - Looks like they have the beginnings of a website now here.

Update - IT Skeptic’s Post here.

Hank Marquis has some good commentary here.

I will try and get some time on the calendar with some of the internal IBMers working on this effort and put another interview out there. I found out about this via a BMC Blog posting by Van Wiles here.

Interesting commentary will likely appear in the trade rags and skeptic blogs alike very soon.
