I want to extend an invitation out to all the OpenORB developers who
might be interested in helping out. Lots of great work out here!
Regards,

----------------------------------------------------------------
As has been discussed previously, Trifork wants to donate a CORBA
implementation. This message is to get things really started in
context of Geronimo. Along with this message is a tar ball of the
initial contribution, and I want to take this opportunity to describe
what we are donating and how we would like to do this.
To set things straight, will not be donating a full CORBA
implementation up front. What we are proposing is to donate the
resources (read: developers) that it takes to do a full CORBA
implementation in context of Apache Geronimo. Our concern with
donating the full code is that we want to ensure that this is built
as a community effort, so when we're done we are not the "single
point of failure" for this to succeed as we go forward. We would like
to avoid being the only ones to know the code, so that the CORBA
implementation that comes out of this is something that can have a
life without us pushing it forward. This is really the principal
value that we see in contributing to this project. We want to have a
free and independent CORBA implementation too, but we would like to
avoid being stuck on it as we go forward.
Having said all that, we do have a CORBA implementation; and in our
effort to bring this forward we will definitively use bits, pieces or
even large chunks of this to make the Apache Geronimo CORBA
implementation be complete and successful.
We know that there is eagerness in the Geronimo community to get
things started in building a CORBA solution, and so hopefully this
first contribution will be accepted as a starting point from which we
will build a world-class CORBA system.
What is in this package is the foundation of a new I/O subsystem that
I have previously talked about, and some of the code to hook that up
with the client-side of the CORBA stack. As such, thins chunk of code
is not in even self-contained nor complete. It's just the state of
the code in our lab right now, and we want to move this into Geronimo
space before we get too far along.
The mile stones that I imagine moving forward from here would be
something like this:
1. Client-side stream-based invocation.
2. Value semantics (object serialization)
3. Server-side stream-based invocation handling, including POA
implementation.
4. Dynamic stubs.
5. Local invocations.
There are a ton of sub-projects that I would love to see someone
starting on; some of which already have place holders or stubs in the
code that is part of the tar ball attached to this.

Kresten,
Can you take the main comment of the JIRA and post here on the
list? Having a threaded discussion in JIRA is awful.
Welcome, thanks for the contribution, and I look forward for more
discussion here.
