The RiverMuse team keeps plugging along in their path to announce what could be an industry changing approach to the tired, dusty and often ho-hum area of event management. Check out the beginnings of the RiverMuse blog, part of what appears to be the RiverMuse community, headed up by a Community Director named Phil Blades.

Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda. Don’t you think they need to earn their “industry changing” accolades? They have been planning on this announcement for over 6 months and the only thing I see on their blog is as “how to” understand virtual appliance (and not own with Rivermuse on it). Their download button is a registration for future news. Personally I am going to wait until they actually have some code (like the rest of the OSS world) untill I start shooting out any accolades.

Thanks for the comment John, but note my choice of words. I think we’re all skeptical and have seen/heard how some coding, software or product will save the day.
I have asked that as an open source community driven venture that they operate with the transparency expected. They’re going to have to show the numbers to earn interest from the clients who’ve deployed large scale big4 solutions. The cost take out and administrative burden reduction approach only will go so far if the stuff doesn’t work, can’t scale or doesn’t perform equal or better to what others have invested in.
I temper my excitement to some degree, but as history has proven, the founders have some significant credibility.
Time will only tell!

Hope they respond to your call for transparency. It seems like they went backwards and even removed the information they already had on the website about the product. Currently they are more non-transparent than even proprietary vendors.
You guys should all relax–it takes a bit of time to get code fully developed into as open source project. All of the systems are being put in place now to support the forums, code, bugs etc.
