Open1X is an open source implementation of the IEEE 802.1X protocol. This project includes support for the authenticator and supplicant, while other projects (e.g., FreeRADIUS) provide support for the authentication server.   XSupplicant version 2.0.1 has been released. This release fixes bugs that have been found since the 2.0.0 release. It does not contain any new features.  In addition to the new release, there has been a lot of work taking place on the next version. First, the project management committe (PMC) decided to rename the codename from SeaMonkey to SeaAnt and to accept a letter ordering for all future codenames. So, along with SeaAnt, the two releases that will follow it are "SeaBadger", and "SeaCow". Second, the roadmap for SeaAnt has been approved by the PMC. Two versions are available. The "executive summary" version can be found here, a longer version with (really) rough timelines can be found here. Third, we have started to work on various pieces of documentation. All of the documentation will be included in future source drops, in addition to the documentation links in the SourceForge project.  Last, but not least, we have also decided to move away from CVS to Subversion. HEAD development (SeaAnt and beyond) is now using subversion. While making this cut over, we also took the opportunity to rearrange the source tree a little. There are now three main modules :      * xsupplicant -- The XSupplicant engine (GPL/BSD licensed)     * xsupplicant-ui -- The XSupplicant UI (GPL licensed)     * xsupplicant-build -- Install packaging and build scripts (GPL/BSD licensed)  The 2.0.x code will continue to come out of the older CVS branches.

Red Hat and Hyperic have formed an open-source project for developing a core set of IT infrastructure management capabilities, the companies announced Thursday.Dubbed RHQ, the project&#39;s source code will be available under the GPL v2 license, according to a Red Hat spokeswoman. The companies have set up a Web site for the project at www.rhq-project.org.The RHQ project&#39;s roots lie in the pact formed in 2005 between Hyperic and JBoss, which saw the latter company use code from Hyperic&#39;s Web infrastructure management product, Hyperic HQ, as a basis for JBoss Operations Network.&#160;Red Hat acquired JBoss&#160;in 2006, and Hyperic moved to an open-source model.It shouldn&#39;t be long before a healthy community springs up around RHQ, according to Katrinka McCallum, vice president in Red Hat&#39;s management solutions business unit. &quot;The fact Hyperic has an established name around open source is giving us a kick-start,&quot; she said, adding, &quot;I don&#39;t think it will be that hard because a lot of customers have been asking us to open source our management assets.&quot;RHQ will not provide a packaged management platform, per se. Instead, it will consist of a set of services such as for reporting, security, and agents -- that could be built into various product offerings. The companies plan to bake the results into upcoming versions of their respective products, including JBoss Operations Network 2.0, which is set to ship later this year, according to a statement.&quot;We&#39;re really looking at saving some money when it comes to collaborating on the core platform,&quot; Doug MacEachern, Hyperic&#39;s chief technology officer, said of the partnership.&quot;I think there&#39;s going to be a lot of opportunities to upsell in both directions,&quot; he added. &quot;JBoss might need coverage in other areas, whereas otherwise our customers might be looking to go deeper into the JBoss stack.&quot;Red Hat&#39;s new CEO, Jim Whitehurst, recently&#160;spelled out an ambitious growth plan&#160;for the company. One observer suggested Hyperic and Red Hat may work even more closely together in the future.&quot;The most headliney thing is that it solidifies Hyperic&#39;s position as an acquisition target for Red Hat,&quot; said Michael Cot&#233;, an analyst with Redmonk. &quot;This is all speculation on my part, but it adds up.&quot;McCallum would not confirm or deny whether Red Hat is considering a purchase of Hyperic.&#160;
