Hi Johan,

its great to know that you are earning so much money from Apache ActiveMQ! 

 I want the best experience for the end user of ActiveMQ - and that’s it - 
simple. Right now that’s hawtio. The old web console is frankly  well beyond 
love - but I can understand from a money making point of view you wouldn’t want 
to have hawtio as an option of end users. Which is why moving it  to a 
sub-project will allow you and your colleagues  to work on it - you’ll probably 
get even more money from your customers - or you could just save the hard work 
- skin hawtio however you like (Johan’s Console) - and make a mint yay! 

What ever happens in the community,  what ever console we use, if nobody uses 
hawtio ever again, if folks went bananas and started using other OS solutions  
-  I and my “Fuse” (top 10 on [1]).  colleagues get payed the same. We don’t 
have an interest in this for financial gain, let alone agree on what should 
happen - apart from the old web console is something we don’t want to work on - 
but when you’ve been fixing crappy bugs in for a while [1] - you may feel the 
same way.

When you get a salary/bonus/shares regardless  - it enables you to make 
decisions that’s best for the users - I don’t think that anyone else  (your 
colleagues or partner companies) who want so desperately to keep the old 
console, have the same objectivity.


Just so its all  out there - hawtio is open source, is AS2 licence - and the 
community is diverse. More than one large company uses it directly in their 
products.  Where hawtio lives, what direction it takes is entirely down to the 
hawtio community -  my employer - Red Hat really doesn’t care - hawtio isn’t at 
the ASF for other reasons.
