Feed Description: Welcome to my blog. It happened. I succumbed to the vanity exercise that a weblog is and started my own one. Here youll find information and thoughts (some worth reading, some not) on Java, J2EE, Software Architecture, Music and Parapolitics
Well, looks like during my week at e-Galaecia, many of the JBoss Group's
old timers dropped the group and went elsewhere for some fun of their own.
Funny coincidence, during the event I was commenting on open-source and where
it would head to. I was telling that - as most (if not all) of the
successful open-source projects out there (Linux, JBoss...) are actually
benign dictatorships (no offense Marc...) and were prefectly under control
of one or a couple of individuals, we would only begin to see such
projects' future more clearly when their leaders would step back and give
space to others, or face competition. Looks like the later just happened.
I actually believe this is great for JBoss, as long as the departing members
are not denied access to the server's code, as it would inevitably lead to
a CODE FORK. THIS would be dangerous, and hurt everyone in the J2EE
business. Apart from it, I think we'll all benefit from all these fine
professionals competing amongst themselves.
