Recent Open HA Cluster Activity

Guest Author

There have been some exciting developments in the Open HA Cluster open-source community over the past couple months. Specifically:

An HA-PostgreSQL umbrella project has been created, with an active subproject to support WAL Shipping.
The HA Clusters community has agreed to co-sponsor a Test Development project. Other sponsoring community groups are OS/NET, Storage, and Testing.
The HA-Informix agent being developed in the Cluster Agent: Informix Dynamic Server Project has been completed and is available for download from the project page.
The HA Clusters community group now has four sponsored projects, with some more on the way.
A third-party agent repository has been created to collect cluster agents developed by third parties.
The #OHAC IRC channel has been created for 24-hour Open HA Cluster discussions.
We've made available some technical presentations for building agents as well as open-sourced the GDS template under the CDDL.
We have seven non-Sun participants working on bug fixes.
And last, but not least, the HA Clusters community group now has a "fun" page, hosting the "Open HA Cluster acrostic puzzle."
