The OpenPegasus Lite project has been folded into the main OpenPegasus project as a set of configuration options. The OpenPegasus Lite project is now dormant and does not currently exist as a separate activity.

The Pegasus Lite website and mailing list is being reactivated to build on the BoF on CIM/WBEM for Embedded Systems at the Management Developers' Conference held in Santa Clara in December 2005. The notes from the BoF are a starting point for determining the requirements for such CIM/WBEM systems.

From the perspective of the OpenPegasus project, OpenPegasus Lite is intended to realized as a set of configuration options for the base OpenPegasus code, and not as an alternative implementation. _OpenPegasus today has been developed and tested over a wide variety of platforms but these are mostly server level environments. Creating an OpenPegasus Lite creates several questions that should be answered so that a Pegasus version might be created that matches the requirements of the environment:

• Better understanding of what the requirements are for disk and memory footprint.
• Review of the functionality to determine which current OpenPegasus components are required and which might be omitted for a lighter-weight environment.
• Review of the lightweight operating systems to determine what differeneces there are between the OSs that OpenPegasus has been ported to and the target OSs
• Review of some of the functional components to define 'lighter weight' alternatives or alternative technologies that better suite a smaller environment. In particular, the repositories and provider interfaces are candidates for alternative technologies for a lightweight environment.
• Determination of any limitations in the compilers used in these projects against the OpenPegasus code to determine if there are limitations in the compilers that are significantly incompatible with the OpenPegasus code base. The first question that comes to mind is exceptions.

The OpenPegasus project is interested in working with these potential users to answer these and other questions and to determine what is the best way to make OpenPegasus available in these environments.

This site and the corresponding mailing list are a starting point to answer the above questions and any interested parties are invited to contribute.

The team has a wiki area here.
