Connect Winter of Code {CWoC} or Open sourcing my existing NS tools and preparing to build new ones

on { Collaboration, community & open source -> CWoC }

I spent some times thinking about tools and Notification Server, specially with new requirement to fill some gaps in analysis tools (for example IIS log files contain a great deal of info that can't be analyzed with standard log analyzers) but I have not done anything about this in the last year or so. Possibly due to a falling out between me and Microsoft Visual Studio (and also because newly born Sophie deserved all my love and attention).

I got over it (the VS stuff, Sophie still gets the love and attention), and found a new set of friends: the c# compiler on Windows (csc.exe) and Mono on Linux (a port of the Common Language Infrastructure ECMA standard open sourced by Novell).

With the addition of Google Code project hosting this is me set for a "Connect Winter of Code" {CWoC} (in opposition to Google SoC :D). I think it actually make sense to code in the winter when night falls at 1730~1800 and keep the summer to enjoy outdoor activities with the family ^_^.

So, I have created a new hosted project in Google code (https://code.google.com/p/altiris-ns-tooling/) and am starting to upload legacy (some can be very old and in need for serious scurbbing or pure deletion) to get on with my initial tool project:
IIS Log analyzer for Altiris Notification Server and Symantec Management Platform. [details to come]
