You're really cooking, Karan.
Well, I better cook well because I am going to eat my own food :) . I
am actually enjoying spicing it up will cool stuff, I guess because I
love spicy food :). Sometimes i wonder what attracted me to the
OpenEJB project, I guess its the logo :)
There's actually a story behind that pepper. Back when the project
was started, Richard had the idea that we could title each major
release with a pepper starting low with Cayenne and eventually ending
hot with Habanero. So we used a pepper for our logo and started work
on "Cayenne". Unfortunately, some of our other ideas (like only
having an Reference Implementation for our server layer as to not
scare possible vendors that would integrate our embeddible container)
weren't so great and we never really connected with users and
therefore never became a release/community driven project. At least
not for the first two years of our existence until we moved to
Sourceforge and started work on our embedded testing, server layer,
and tomcat integration.
On a serious note, you are being of a great great help to me.
Sometimes I wonder how you do it, because you pretty much respond to
all of my long , verbose emails
Heh. Well after Aaron Mulder, everyone else is cake ;)
