Hi,
I am porting the CommServer software family to GitHub and publishing the products as the open-source. Visit the following page to get more:
https://github.com/commsvr-com/migration2os
From the community reaction, I know that people are going to reuse this software also for research Machine To Machine interoperability. Let me ask you if you have any idea about the priority I shall apply to my road map. The list of products I am going to publish you can find here: CommServer products

OPC UA Address Space Model Designer and OPC UA Viewer are done.
Thanks for any advice.
Hi Aleksandar S. Sokolovski ,
Thank you for your answer. However, let me stress that we are talking about what is going on the wire but not about managing computer resources and instantiate a program. More you can get from:

I know that the Operating System community (actually disjoined communities) has own rules and there is a never-ending discussion about what is better without the definition of the engineering measurement rules to properly define the condition and finally get the black and white picture.
You proposed to add free in front of open-source software. It means that we must talk about money. It narrows the problem. My point is that we should talk about motivation and try to find answers to the questions:
- how to motivate an end-user to check out the proposal
- how to motivate the developer to continue improvement
- how to motivate maintainer to keep the software up-to-date
- how to motivate teachers to educate new users
- how to motivate visioners to disseminate the workout
- how to motivate distributors to convert the solution into products and guarantee quality
The money is not enough to motivate. As far as I know, most of my students expect stability at first. It seems that it will be especially important in the COVID-19 threat context. Usually, money is just must have option.
BTW the software in concern is covered by the MIT license - I don't know a more permissive license. I am not a lawyer so let me know if I am wrong.
Anyway, thank you for feedback.
