Update on Bluebear – Kodiak

Duncan Epping · Apr 23, 2010 ·

Just received an update on the Kodiak project Bluebear has been working on for a while now. For those who are not familiar with Kodiak, it is a cross platform virtualization management application. Kodiak is based on flex and had a great start. Unfortunately as time passed by it went completely silent around Kodiak and I just received the news that Bluebear, the company behind Kodiak, decided to pull the plug due to the lack of funding.

Unfortunately, bluebear has been unable to find the funding necessary to move us forward as a company. Money or not, Kodiak’s 10,000+ beta participants would seemingly indicate that we bears were on to something great. True to our word, we have opened Kodiak’s source code under the GPL in the hopes that people will continue to find utility in our creation.

Anyone may browse or check out the source code.
svn co  http://svn.bluebear.org/Kodiak
Contact bears@… if you’re interested in contribution as a developer.

If anyone is interested in helping out, please contact Bluebear!

    Sad news, but not unexpected. I hope another company picks this up (and maybe some of the developers) and works on it. Nice it is GPLed.

    I personally find it odd that this was done with no input from me at all.

    Especially given that I wrote it.

    I’ve been dying to try this out for about 6 months ago. Any ideas on how to install from SVN.
