[AusNOG] LibreNMS vs Observium

[Mike Taylor]

We switched to LibreNMS from Observium, and Libre runs just fine.

We wanted to give back to the project, but chose to go with a product 
whose license was more open than the Observium product.

That, and it looked like the Observium owner was having a permanent 
meltdown and being unpleasant in IRC and email.

5cents worth :-)
