Some friends at work were recently interviewed by Matt Asay on the release of our monitoring software, ERMA, as open source – an unconventional move for corporate America.

We have a long and quiet relationship with open source at Orbitz. In the article Matt O’Keefe was kind enough to throw a compliment my way:

We have a history of contributing to other open-source projects. Brian Zimmer and others on the team have been very active in open-source projects.

You can read more coverage about open-sourcing ERMA here and be sure to check out the real-time visualization software we released, Graphite, as well.

Congrats Matt!
