Right on! It's amazing how well a bit of humility, encouragement of others, and responding to fire with ice works in online communities - whether technical like this one, or social, or whatever.
I'm haunted, though, by whether there's a sort of cognitive dissonance in "being nice" and the "Apache" name. I'm not suggesting we rename ourselves the "Cute Nice Fluffy Bunnies Software Foundation". :) Just wondering if it's something we should overtly work to overcome rather than just inertly hope we aren't setting the wrong tone...
Let me remind of when Marc Fleury of JBoss once named us "the fat ladies drinking tea" while he named the JBoss people "the knights fighting the big evil corporations".
How many girls does JBoss has?
