Headlines in a US paper saying that the Open Software Foundation has dropped Tivoli Systems Inc’s management framework from its Distributed Management Environment are flat out wrong and creating unnecessary waves: as our sister paper Unigram.X has already said, DME 1.0 is being made fully compliant with the Object Management Group’s Common Object Request Broker, a specification that post-dates development of both DME and the Tivoli framework and as a result a small piece of low-level code is being reworked, hardly something to write home about, and the Foundation says Tivoli’s framework remains central to the object management framework.
