Some pointers for this are: Developer Mindshare Hiring Education/Training Control Eco System/3rd party integration Global Professional Services Developer Mindshare -Drools is pervasive, meaning it's everywhere Hiring and consultants -The pervasive nature of Drools means there are a large number of people you can hire. You don't want to get locked into a single vendor because you can't hire anyone or find alternative consultancies. -Drools is actively used in a large number of university research projects, ensuring that there are people leaving university with Drools experience. This is a fast growing area, I hope that eventually Drools itself will be a teaching material in universities - once we add backward chaining and semantics. Education/Training -Two Drools books, more on the way -Wealth of online information -Active mailing lists -Real time chat channels -Free and open workshops throughout the year in different locations Control -Can you fix bugs yourself, are you in charge of your own personal roadmaps. Or are you at the mercy of a vendor? Eco System/3rd party integration -Drools is integrated everywhere - Spring, Camel etc. Global Professional Services -Red Hat is in the 4 corners of the globe offering a full range of professional services and support subscriptions. All in all Drools is going in a rapid direction for risk reduction. Where as Corticon could be bought by Oracle or IBM next year for it's sales contacts and the tech shelved.
