Open Source SLM

This is the ITSLM 'free' development support framework project.

Objectives
To provide guidance and detailed instructions on using open source and license free products to implement system life-cycle management facilities, including:
 * Version control
 * Issue tracking
 * System build
 * System deployment
 * Operational configuration monitoring
 * Incident and problem management

Motivation
Open source and license free software provides an opportunity for organisations of all sizes to implement system life-cycle management. One of the main stumbling blocks for many organisations is being able to integrate the various open source solutions into a cohesive system. This project aims to address this problem by providing information and pre-packaged solutions to this problem.

The overall objective of the project is to show how support systems can be developed, a byproduct of this process will be a complete solution package (although this package will require considerable 'tweaking' for most operational systems an educated user should find such modifications relatively simple).
