Re: EITAAC - Families Subcommittee

Nice list David.

Is Network monitoring and management software (aka system
administration) characterized by/in one of the software families?

Just to verify, does the Software (development) entry mean developer
tools (IDEs), automated software testing, source control software,
...?
