Once again, I'm awestruck with the power of the thinktank of the world. Last weekend (3-4 Oct) I was at Opensource Days in Copenhagen, Denmark. I was giving a presentation about Nagios (which was quite well received), and included a brief demonstration of some of the addons we've done and ship with our products.

As I was demoing the network map thingie we have and excusing myself for the pretty poor maps we're using (due to copyright issues while shipping such maps with a commercially supported product), a member of the audience named Einar Petersen asked me why we just didn't pull stuff from the Open Streetmaps project. I was so amazed that there was a site like this that I didn't know what to answer.

Once again, the community has outsmarted the corporation
