Hi all,
Hi Michaël !
So far I've been using Mina for 2 years and I've been following the mina-dev
list for some months. This seems to be a good point in time for me to start
getting involved in Mina !
Some words about me. I've been working on various Java / JEE projects for
some large companies in France for 4 years and I'm quite interested in any
network and distributed stuff, whether they are in Java, C or anything else.
While loving such low level things, i also enjoy to design simple to use
high level API that make complicated things simpler : that seems to make
Mina a nice fit for me :-)
Great !
Thanks you all for the nice work you give and have given to the community.
See you later on this mailing list !
Just FYI guys, Michaël is someone I met 2 years ago, and we have had
many heated discussion about MINA while drinking beers (oops, Michaël
does not drink at all :/ ). I have engaged him many times to be part of
the effort, and I'm pleased to see him posting for the first time !
Michaël, we are currently trying to close MINA 2.0, and as you can see
on the ML, we are closing the existing JIRAs. I consider that MINA 2.0
is not a version we want to change a lot, this is the reason we have
started some discussion about MINA 3.0. Apache projects are based on
merit, and this merit is established by contributions. So feel free to
participate, we hope that your contributions will be good enough for the
existing community to grant you some commit karma !
For those who thnk they can bring some value to the project, don't be
scared to participate : people tend to think that Apache committers are
some kind of half gods. That's *not* the case.
We are just plain gods ;)
Seriously, we are just average coders who are passionate about code, and
dedicated to offer the best we can to our users. What makes the
difference is the way we work :
- it's a community, so expect your contributions to be challenged,
- it's a community, so be sure that you'll get some help
- it's a community, so what you can't solve, someone else will
All in all, it's just about being a community, with a few rules !
