Thanks!
The Cacti Group

August 1st to 5th of 2011

In the first week of August 2011, the Cacti group had a long over due 
developers conference in sunny San Jose, California.  It was a great 
success!  Much of the time was coding and getting the next major release 
of Cacti ready. Lot of discussions were had about Cacti and having more 
regular release schedules. We all realize after many years that this is 
a volunteer project for most of us and to have meaningful releases on a 
timely manor we needed to break up all the features and tasks into 
manageable chunks.  Expect more releases of Cacti more often in the future.

In the coming weeks we will be releasing a alpha of Cacti 1.0.0. Some of 
the major features are:

  - Web 2.0 implementation using AJAX
  - Integrated plugin architecture
  - Inclusion of some core plugins in the base code, Boost, Settings, etc...
  - Improved installation and platform specific setup
  - Internationalization
  - Extended RRDTool support
  - Improved Templating and Data Query usage
  - Command line scripts enhancements
  - Updated graph presentation
  - Many enhancements for Plugin Developers

Features planned for future releases:

  - User audit logging
  - Distributed and remote polling
  - User groups
  - Granular user and group permissions
  - And more!

There are some other things have come to light over the years about the 
Cacti code base. We realize that it can be quite a task to figure it out 
and efforts are underway to improve the readability and organization of 
the code base.  These efforts aren't only for the Cacti group but to 
help everyone out there hacking on Cacti. We want to encourage people to 
get involved in the coding of Cacti and contribute their ideas and 
energy to the project.

For the first time in the history of the Cacti Group we will soon be 
offering the ability to sponsor Cacti. These sponsorships will come with 
some benefits, not only including a link on the Cacti web sites, but 
potential prioritization of features in Cacti and potentially direct 
developer support.  We welcome the communities input on this!

And lastly I want to thank the Cacti developers for coming out to San 
Jose, California and making it possible to make over 250 code commits to 
getting Cacti 1.0.0 alpha out the door.  I want to give a big thanks to 
Barracuda Networks, Inc for providing a place for the Cacti Group to 
meet, it was much appreciated. And mostly I want to give a big thanks to 
the Cacti Community!  Without you all using Cacti none of us would have 
had the experiences we have had working on Cacti and working with all of 
you!

Sincerely,

The Cacti Group
