Cool.

For the record: I don't have anything against lurkers (I am one myself 
-- occassionally on this list, and certainly on other lists). We can 
only benefit from them. They're the people using cocoon, and without 
users, no software project has a goal.


My sincere apologies for not being able to resist the reply-button.

Tom et al.,

I do think this thread has gone far enough - can we get back to Cocoon'ing
again? We are all part of the community - and that includes all the lurkers
out there - and we know you are :-)

Ok?

I fully share this view.

An important dimension that should be taken into account is time : if I 
wasn't allowed by my company to give some of my time to Cocoon, I would 
never have been able to contribute all that I have contributed. Yes, I 
also take on my spare time for Cocoon because I love it and it's fun, 
but my wife and children limit this time ;)

And time is money. So many companies give money to Apache projects 
through people's time, and allowing commercial use of these projects is 
a way for Apache to pay back. This explains the high quality of all the 
stuff you can find here.

My view on opensource is this one : many people, which can be business 
competitors in the "real" world, join forces to build something that 
none of them could have built alone. And everyone (including 
non-contributors) can take this and make money with it by adding value 
on top of it through products, consulting, books, training, etc.

Dude, using Cocoon commercially for your own benifit, benefits Cocoon. 
 Writing a book and keeping the measly profit (that is in no way 
adequate compensation for the time and effort taken to write such a 
book), seriously benefits Cocoon.

And I hope they make some serious Benjamins (or whatever the appropriate 
European slang term is for cash) in the process.  Though fat chance of that.

Don't get GNU-brainwashed, not everyone believes benefitting financially 
from opensource is immoral.

Hi,

together with our publisher (www.newriders.com), we are looking for people

something positive to say and then your quote may be used in the book or to
promote it.

If you would be interested then please send me an email. Please note that we
will only be able to suggest (!!) reviewers - our publisher will choose. And
probably only a few of those in the end.

Thanks

The opensource Apache philosophy?
There's a *big* misunderstanding here on what Apache is all about.

Apache is widely known to be very pragmatic on these issues; maybe you are
confused by another foundation that wants freedom for code.

We want community.

> Cocoon is borned as open source project and then all is free.

You don't need it. This is the force of the Apache license, we will never
tie you to us.

> If yes all is ok, otherwise in my opinion you are speculating on Cocoon.

The contrary.

We want projects to be used and become succesfull; the important thing is
creating a market, not getting money back directly.

Apache opensource projects' biggest goal is having commercial backing, and
the license is made to have this happen.
You can do whatever you want with it as long as you say you are using our
work and you don't sue us for problems.

Just do it, and give us credit.

If you give back, good.
If you don't, you're still helping us gain market share.
In any case, we both win.

Ok,

I agree with your answer. I know who are Carsten Ziegeler and Matthew
Langham. I know that they are very important persons for Cocoon (as many
others are).

My e-mail is for pointing out that all our actions should be done only for
the improvement of cocoon. We all love cocoon: I have seen some people's
names for almost two years in the Cooon User List.

If the book, as I hope, is published for promoting Cocoon, for improving it,
well I am proud to know Carsten and Matthew and I applaud them.

RE: Cocoon book reviewers wanted

2002-05-22 Thread Matthew Langham

I was going to refrain from commenting...

Anyone who believes (or thinks) that an open source project can survive
without commercial support is far removed from "the real world". The number
of people working on open source project "just for the fun" or "to scratch
that itch" is IMO very small. In fact it is my opinion that any open source
project - without some form of integrated (!) commercial backing will fail
in the end.

Before we (as a company) decided to get involved with Cocoon and the open
source arena we had a discussion with Stefano on exactly this subject. His
opinion (and this is something I think is sooo true) is that using open
source software commercially - without "giving back" will eventually lead to
you (as a company - or person) being shouted down in the community.

Now there are various ways to give back to a project - as we discussed with
Stefano:

* Contributing Patches and Bug Fixes
* Donating components that were previously part of a product
* Actively working on the project
* Taking over a role in the project
* Testing the software and publishing your findings
* Writing documentation
* Writing articles to get the project "noticed"
* Presenting at conferences to get the project "noticed"
* Writing books to help anyone who wants to use the software

And probably many more

Well - guess what - we as a company (and Carsten and myself in particular)
have done all that in the past 2 years. And we still do. Every day.

And (thankfully) we are not alone. There are many great (commercially
orientated) people out there who are helping to move Cocoon forward. The
fact that the Apache licence allows this is one of the reasons Apache
projects are so successful and widely renowned.

The more commercial support Cocoon receives - whether in projects, books,
products based on Cocoon - the more successful it will become.

Well, that's an easy one to answer if you do your homework. For example, a 
quick search on the mailing list archives at http://marc.theaimsgroup.com 
could tell you how much Matthew has been contributing to Cocoon (like 
"Donating Portal and Authentication Components to the Cocoon project" ;-)

Hm... In this case we are all speculating on Cocoon: one uses it to make
easier his paid work, another one to get some profit from consulting, the

pays back to the community by promoting Cocoon, improving it, etc.

Re: Cocoon book reviewers wanted

2002-05-22 Thread Conrad F. D'Cruz

Marco,

I disagree very strongly with your philosophy.  Open source software
needs as much advertisement and sponsorship from outside the the developer
community.  A technology will gain acceptance if it is documented and
placed within easy access of as big a community outside the immediate
developer community.  Often times the developers are too busy creating
the system which means user documentation are done at a later time.  Most book
projects are started during a period when there is interest in the project
and the documentation is not yet ready.

In addition to the documentation, it helps to have tutorials and regular
textbooks that make it easy for those who are outside the circle
of developers/contributors/testers to come up to speed and adopt the
new technology.

There are not many publishers who would get involved in the opensource
movement if there were no financial rewards in it for them.  If there was
that restriction, opensource projects would be the worlds best kept secret!!

It is also true that the authors do not become rich writing the book(s),
so in a way they are contributing to the success of the project too.  I am quite

sure there are publishers who in turn make contributions to the ASF in order
to sponsor the movement.  Anybody have information on which publishers
sponsor or contribute to the ASF?

My opinions aside ... could any of the developers on the list clarify
Marco's comments below? "Have you received the assent from ASF
or people as Stefano Mazzocchi?"  If so is there a formal process to get this
assent?

You don't have to be a member of the developer community to create documentation

on any of the open source projects.  Writing a book on it is a form of
documentation and
spreading the word.  It is not speculation ... just a form of marketing!!  A
well formatted
and presented book from a well know publisher goes a long way in selling the
concept
and product which no HTML or PDF user docs or faqs can achieve.

I too am involved with a group writing a book on Cocoon2 programming which is
due
out in October. Some initial details are at
http://www.netswirl.com/publications.htm
A full web description will be available on the Sybex web site soon.

If not, in my opinion it's against the open source apache philosophy.

Cocoon is borned as open source project and then all is free.

Are you a member of people that created Cocoon?
Have you received the assent from ASF or people as Stefano Mazzocchi?

If yes all is ok, otherwise in my opinion you are speculating on Cocoon.

something positive to say and then your quote may be used in the book or to
promote it.

If you would be interested then please send me an email. Please note that we
will only be able to suggest (!!) reviewers - our publisher will choose. And
probably only a few of those in the end.

Thanks

Matthew
