Hello,
My name is Patrick McGovern. For five years I managed
SourceForge.net. I left VA Software / OSTG in April and joined a
new startup in San Francisco called Splunk.
Splunk is doing some very interesting things that I think your SVLUG
would enjoy. The company makes a web-based AJAX-enhanced search
engine that allows system admins and programmers to search all their
incoming log files in real time (any type of log files Sendmail,
cisco, mysql, syslog etc) with a google-like interface. It's a
powerful tool to allow people to 'see' inside their systems as they
are running.
The software is free (although not currently Open Source) off of our
website.
I'd be happy to give a talk on this very interesting technology, it's
origins and how we are able to decipher incoming log information in
real time. I can also chat about SF.net if there is interest.
Splunk has been receiving a lot of Press including coolest startup at
LInuxWorld.

Anyway...it's a pretty innovative solution to a problem that everyone
has....namely how to deal with too many log files and how to
troubleshoot those logs (oppose to manually grep-ing through them)
Let me know if you have interest. I look forward to hearing from you.
