Since i introduced "EU analogy" to this list a few days ago :),
I comment.
--
As the Name "Apache" and the "lex causae" would be highly related to
the United States, I was wondering what would fit to describe
"Apache" and "Jakarta" communities themselves, and have been casting
about in my mind for good words.
Well, there could be two styles of the OSS communities
-- American Style ("United" States) ...... (1)
-- European Style ("Union" of Nations) ... (2)
What I could perceive from the participation to this community was
the latter style. So, I used "EU analogy".
The keyword would be "Identity". Yes, I know that we can rather
describe the history of the Apache/Jakarta better by using
"United States" styled analogy, however, the strong "Identity"
of the each communities in Apache realm can be described by "EU
analogy" better, i suspect.
Please do not use the analogy in order "to dispute" forever.
Please use it in order "to strengthen the understandings of
the community and to achieve the improvement of the community".
(1) and (2) have their own "good" points. Piling up "good points"
would be one of the key factors which can keep the health
of the OSS communities.
I am not in the United states nor in Europe.
