13. The project/getting involved
• Open Source
• Nearly all Apache 2.0 licensed
• Some components BSD based, owing to history
• Try using it!
• RPM for RHEL/CentOS 5.2 and later
• .deb for Ubuntu 9.04
• Looking for platform porting
• Have some RedHat/CentOS, Ubuntu covered
• Could certainly integrate a bit better
• Especially needed with moxi
