A few months ago I released a Mobile interface for the popular Zabbix monitoring tool titled MoZBX. Ever since I’ve received a lot of feedback with feature requests and positive comments. This is one that I felt like sharing, since it put a smile on my face.

Translated, it says:

Dear Mattias,

for your information, your Mobile Zabbix frontend is now being used on a hospital ship.

That seriously made me proud: a piece of software I wrote is now being used on a friggin' hospital ship designed to help people. How awesome is that? :-)

This, for me, truely shows the power of open source.
