As you can see from the OpenAjax page, RedMonk is now a member of OpenAjax, with me being the representative on the Marketing Committee.
To be frank, the primary reason I wanted to join was to help out because I like Ajax and I want to see it advanced and (even more) standardized. While I no longer really have the bandwidth to help out technically, I thought I could be helpful in a marketing capacity.
If you’ve followed my other, personal podcast, DrunkAndRetired.com, you’ll know that Charles and I have talked about and through his use of Ajax for the past two years in almost every episode. Indeed, the Ajax-driven company Charles and his partners formed over those two years, The FrontSide is a member of OpenAjax as well, as is Finetooth where another one of my friends, ScottD!, works.
Now, as Jon Ferraiolo and others were sure to work out, my intention in joining OpenAjax isn’t to “spy” and suck in info. From the beginning, my goal has been to help out and contribute instead of just lurk. Along those lines, I of course won’t be disclosing things that should be kept under-wraps. But that should go without saying ;>
So, thanks to Jon and the rest of the Steering Committee for approving the membership. I hope I can start being helpful ;>
