[meta-sig] SIG Proposal: Network Management

[Ilya Etingof]

Guido,

Thanks for your reply.

Well, I can't really judge on this as I have no idea on how to evaluate
the interest and match it against SIG creation criterias... ;-)

To my own experience, there are quite a lot of Perl, Tcl and Java based
network management products and tools. Besides other factors, it's
probably also because of well established support for basic network
management tasks (primarily SNMP engine and MIB parser presense) in these
programming environments.

AFAIK, Python does not currently have comparably well developed facilities
so my intention is to create them as I need them.

I have not found any relevant SIG in the index http://www.python.org/sigs/ .
I'm not yet aware of other places dedicated for specific tech talks besides
SIGs.
