 #What is this?
 **Openduty** is an incident escalation tool, just like [Pagerduty](http://pagerduty.com) . It has a Pagerduty compatible API too. It's the result of the first [Ustream Hackathon](http://www.ustream.tv/blog/2014/03/27/hackathon-recap-21-ideas-11-teams-one-goal/). We enjoyed working on it.
