Hi Lukasz! I also do not see any issues with this announcement on the dev@ Camel mailing list. This announcement is relevant for the Camel users as it offers a awesome management user interface for Camel (and other frameworks/technologies). Even better, this product is also open source under Apache license 2.0. This announcement is NOT spam.
Also the fact that this project is not an Apache project is NOT an issue at all. As the others already mentioned, we use multiple projects/frameworks which are developed outside the Apache community. What would we do if we couldn't use great frameworks/products like Spring, Jetty, JUnit, Pax-*, EasyMock, Quartz, ... or Jolokia? I share Guillaumes opinion that your post sounds angry. But I think there is really no reason for. If this product is in competition with an existing (Apache) project like Karaf WebConsole, this is a good thing from my point of view. Competition creates great products and is powering progress. And at the end, *IF* one of the projects will disappear because their user basis is getting to small, than because the user decided to use the other - better - tool. It's not nice to see dieing a project. It's even harder if it's a project you are involved with. But that's life and also has goods. But until now, Karaf WebConsole is alive and you can try to convince your users that this is the better web console for Karaf and Camel. Go out and fight for it! Have a nice - not so cold - week, Christian On Sat, Jan 26, 2013 at 3:11 PM, Jean-Baptiste Onofré <j...@nanthrax.net>wrote: > Hi Lukasz, > > I don't see any issue or spam in Guillaume's e-mail: he shared an > information with multiple communities, as it considers (and I think he's > right) that the information has value and interest for those communities. > Apache is not a technical project hosting, it's a set of project > communities.
