The February 10th meeting takes our group in another unique direction. The TUG is very excited to have Bobby Krupczak talk to us about his new, open source, product named Cartographer. Bobby is Chief Scientist of the Krupczak Organization.
You probably remember Bobby as a co-founder of Empire Technologies and creator of SystemEDGE — an SNMP agent for systems and application management. After selling Empire and working for the buyer for a few years, he retired, took some time off, and has now started another software company to develop next-generation management technologies. His new software, the Cartographer project, focuses on the interactions between systems, applications, and networks and applies peer-to-peer concepts to de-centralize the traditional manager/agent (or client/server) model common in today’s management architectures.
Bobby will do a live demo of Cartographer as well as tell us about it and XMP, a management protocol that he created for Cartographer. You won’t want to miss this meeting!
Please attend and help us out by registering at http://ansmtug-feb-2009.eventbrite.com if you intend to attend so we can provide a headcount for food and drink.

Doug,
Long time no see! I just stumbled onto your blog while doing a search for NMS technology trends.
Well, since I’ve moved down to Tampa, I’ve been missing the monthly ANSMTUG meetings… And that got me thinking (Danger Alert!)… What would it take for you or one of the regulars to film and post the meetings? This way I could virtually attend them. This could be huge, as I’ve told many of my peers around the country about the group and the great meetings I’ve attended in the past, not to mention the networking…
I know this is somewhat difficult to pull off for each meeting, but I feel that it would greatly increase the awareness/attendenc of the ANSMTUG as a whole. Not to mention the fact that I could still stay in the loop (Vicariously).
Anyhow, drop me a line some time, or give me a call. I’ll try to read some more of your posts to see what you’ve been up to!
And for those of you in the Atlanta Metro Area that work directly or indirectly with Fault Management, SQM, or Service Management, it would behoove you to attend as many of the ANSMTUG meetings as you possibly can. They regularly have speakers that are very experienced in these areas. The best part is that they tend to give you the unvarnished truth about what has worked in their shops and what hasn’t! This sort of thing is invaluable…
Catch you later,
Shawn Cartwright
Hey Shawn,
I let Scott Parker know about your idea, we’ll see where he wants to take it as he’s leading ANSMTUG now.

Doug is ANSMTUG vendor specific? Or for users of all vendor’s products.
It’s vendor neutral, anyone open to attend. Are you local to ATL? Interested in sponsoring/presenting? It’d be nice to see/hear about all the new stuff over at HP.

I got some almost-decent video of the February meeting and did a little production on it. The result, along with the slides, is available from links on the ANSMTUG page and on Bobby’s Cartographer page.
It’s worth mentioning that ANSMTUG is also now on Twitter.
