Hi Bruno,

By way of background the Apache Geronimo project existed long before IBM took an interest in it (about two years I think). Apache Geronimo is a community of a large number of folks (and yes, a good number of them work for IBM) which I think can be confusing. I can only speak for me (and I do work for IBM) but I tend to draw a distinct line between my IBM job and contributing to Apache Geronimo. I think it would be most excellent when a swelling of contributors comes and out numbers the current committer base. I'm excited to see people outside of IBM picking Geronimo up and using it for their projects as well as contributing back to the project as Jay has been doing.

When I first discovered Geronimo as an Apache project a couple of weeks ago, I did not even consider the possibility of it being "single product

for my personal work.  Then I saw a couple of minor troubling signs,
like the large percentage and how a bug report was handled, and I
started to worry about whether I'd done enough research.


I was concerned about your comment about "how a bug report was handled" comment you mentioned above. How was it handled that gave you a bad feeling?
