Hi Jacek,
I like to entertain the thought that I am an ok programmer ;-) And I
was hesitant whether to send my initial message, as I knew it would
appear like I am looking for a shortcut to become a Geronimo
committer. All I can say to that, is that with the amount of time I
spend on Cayenne, I don't see how I can make meaningful contributions
to Geronimo code at the moment. On the other hand helping with
Confluence is a task I know I can do without too much distraction
from my current work, so I figured I'd offer help.
Regarding my interest in Geronimo project, of course it is related to
Cayenne. I wasn't ready to talk about it yet, but since it got out...
Geronimo seems like a natural first choice in our effort to closer
integrate Cayenne in a J2EE stack. In particular implementing EJB3
Persistence API:
http://objectstyle.org/confluence/display/CAY/2006/01/10/
I understand that wider EJB3 work will be targeting Geronimo 2.0, and
will be done during the next 12 or so months? Are there specific
plans for the persistence part of the spec?
Cayenne EJB3 work is planned for approximately the same period of
time. Still as we are busy finishing current 1.2 release, no final
decision has been made regarding EJB3-persistence in Cayenne 2.0
(although it seems very likely to be positive). Once we start the
actual work on that, I'd love to work closer with Geronimo community
(and of course anyone from Geronimo is welcomed to join cayenne-devel
to collaborate on that).
So please take the Confluence offer a gesture of good will. Becoming
a sysadmin at Apache is really not my ultimate aspiration :-)

For now I am just lurking on the geronimo list (my primary interest

Hi Andrus,
Do you see any place for Cayenne in Geronimo? Please speak up rather
than lurking ;)
Anyways, I am willing to volunteer to get it going at Apache, still I
am not a committer on any of the projects (AFAIK this *is* a
requirement). I've been running Confluence for some time for the
ObjectStyle community:
http://objectstyle.org/confluence/
Excellent! We discussed it a while ago and people who write
documentation or send minor patches are as important as those who can
write a brand new container. You can contribute to a project one way
or another.
If it ends up that we decide to use Confluence it would be a good way
to become a Geronimo committer. Of course, it would be so easy to get
in by saying I'd be willing to contribute to Geronimo doing Confluence
administration, but the point is just that - you don't have to be an
excellent programmer at all and still be able to become a Geronimo
committer.
