[Zope-Annce] Zenoss Project (Network/Systems Management)

[Bill Karpovich]

We are pleased to announce the Zenoss project.

Zenoss is Zope-based, network/systems monitoring application that has been
in development since 2002.

The goal of Zenoss is to "Simplify Systems Management" with a Python,
open source alternative to the big commercial management suites (e.g. IBM
Tivoli, HP OpenView, etc.). 

Zenoss also strives to go beyond Nagios and OpenNMS with improved
architecture, scalability, ease and breadth.
