I think there are many other differences between GroundWork and Zenoss paths to market, though. Talking about <a href="http://robertogaloppini.net/2008/07/04/open-source-development-about-community-and-sponsored-projects/" rel="nofollow">sponsored open source projects</a>, I read that in three days from now you will be running your first <a href="http://blog.zenoss.com/2009/01/25/zenoss-community-day-february-20th/" rel="nofollow">Zenoss Community Day</a>. Don't forget to ping me later to tell me more about it. Hi Mark,

glad you appreciate my analysis. I think there are many other differences between GroundWork and Zenoss paths to market, though.

Talking about sponsored open source projects, I read that in three days from now you will be running your first Zenoss Community Day. Don’t forget to ping me later to tell me more about it.

On the contrary they use different open source production models, resulting in different core capabilities and configuration of activities (see “what is an open source business model” for more references on business models’ building blocks)." Best Regards, Mark Roberto,
