I do not have a clear picture on where the Rocket is going regarding Cloud Computing.
Is the Rocket so far out in space that... there are no clouds? Is the Rocket on the launch pad... waiting for an Azure-blue sky? --Bill -----Original Message----- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of David Jordan Sent: Thursday, November 17, 2011 3:55 PM To: U2 Users List Subject: Re: [U2] Code Collaboration The U2UG board has been discussing with Rocket how to encourage excitement that U2 is not legacy but is a technology leader. I was at a presentation of a U2 VAR and they demonstrated product that would be indistinguishable from any other player in open systems, Service architecture, interoperability, web intefaces, etc. How do we get this across to the market. With collaboration, we need to first excite. How do we excite people in U2 technology. Is it looking at a major enhancement of the BASIC programming language or a new one within U2. What other things do we look at. Currently young programmers are excited by web technology's, mobile apps, the sexy stuff. They are not interested in the backend, whether Oracle RDBMS, SQL Server or U2. This is a problem across the industry. The board of the user group are interested in areas to look at and how to create infrastructure to make this happen. If we can reignite excitement in the product and create a place for collaboration where that excitement can be put to good use then I believe we can achieve success. However our success depends on a group of people not a few individuals. If this is to occur, it is time for people to become involved in shaping a future.
