Big day for those of us on the Satellite team here at Red Hat, after weeks of preparation our baby has finally been released to the community, re-branded as Spacewalk and under the GPLv2. The Spacewalk project will transition to being the upstream for all future versions of Satellite, and the primary location for our development from today forward. Satellite will continue on as our stable, quality assured, and officially supported solution for official Red Hat content. Spacewalk will be community driven and see features earlier, but will not be accompanied by the official support and testing that goes into Satellite. (see this comparison)

No idea what I'm talking about? Spacewalk is a Linux systems management solution which you can read all about here: http://spacewalk.redhat.com

If you're at all interested in the project please feel free to check out our wiki, sign up for either the mailing list or the devel mailing list, or stop by #spacewalk on freenode.

Development specific posts coming soon. (it may have something to do with PostgreSQL)

Hats off to the entire Satellite (now Spacewalk) team on a job well done!
