Lessons Learned

2004-12-09 Thread Richard Bair
Hey Folks,

I'm working on the JDNC project over at java.net where
we are currently considering making JDNC a
jakarta-like entity with several "blessed" open source
projects and an incubator. We envision JDNC focusing
expecially on Swing related components and frameworks.

Y'all are the experts when it comes to hosting open
source projects and an open source community. I was
wondering; what are the lessons learned? If you were
starting all over today, what things would you have
done differently? What are the blind alleys?

Also, I have been researching and designing the build
process for these various projects. I've looked into
using Maven, in particular. It looks like you guys are
using Ant to drive your build process ~ are the
reasons based on history or did maven not provide the
flexibility you wanted? Do you like the way you are
generating your websites right now?

Thanks for your wisdom!
Richard

Another thing: CeBit is much closer than ACon05. Shall we try to get
some sort of "Apache people meeting" organized @ CeBit? (BTW: did anyone
notice, that we overlap with LinuxTag? Will we just move from Stuttgart
to Karlsruhe and get on with the party? ;-) )

CfP will come, I'm sure about this. 

Regards
Henning

Contributing to ApacheCon Europe 2005

2004-12-09 Thread Oliver Zeigermann
Folks, 

I have recently learned that ApacheCon Europe 2005 will be in Stuttgart:

http://www.apachecon.com

I wanted to attend and contribute something about Slide and Commons
Transaction. Any idea which steps are to be taken?

Thanks in advance,

Oliver
