[00:57] <Takyoji> Gah, I hate when people overcommercialize FOSS
[00:59] <Takyoji> I occasionally hear of puppet for sysadmin across numerous workstations, but the fact that it's written in Ruby, and therefore requires Ruby and it's further dependencies to be installed, turns me off. So I was thinking of making something with Python, and quite simplistic as well. So I went to get the source code of Puppet for the hell of it (for ideas) aaand: http://info.puppetlabs.com/download
[01:03] <tonyyarusso> Takyoji: No no - what I wanted to make was an inventory system, of which ticketing would be one component.
[01:03] <Takyoji> and any other components?
[01:04] <tonyyarusso> Takyoji: lol.  For what it's worth, this is the real page:  http://puppetlabs.com/misc/download-options/
[01:04] <Takyoji> and yes, I know
[01:05] <tonyyarusso> Takyoji: Monitoring and configuration management would be other good things to integrate.
[01:05] <tonyyarusso> But the inventory itself is the part most lacking.
[01:05] <Takyoji> And to what depth of inventory or what organizational fashion?
[01:06] <Takyoji> Because we could easily draft a database model in MySQL Workbench or directly make a Django model.
[01:06] <tonyyarusso> It should understand logical systems, physical machines, individual machine components, application-level tasks, networks, addresses, contacts, maintainers, and customers, for starters.
[01:08] <Takyoji> 'logical systems' such as?
[01:09] <tonyyarusso> For instance if you had a cluster or cloud where multiple physical machines behaved as one.
[01:09] <Takyoji> also, there could be scripts made for it as well for detecting internal hardware and automatically adding it
[01:09] <Takyoji> ahh
[01:09] <tonyyarusso> Or even having a machine with a web server and another with a database server working together.
