Thanks Rick for your continued effort in this.
To me the interesting thing from a practical perspective is that if the
Derby community were to provide useful extensions even without a
corporate connection and make them publicly available and free of all
strings, wouldn't those standard bodies be foolish not to pick them up
and take advantage of them? It seems to me that your current opengroup
setup sounds like a good start to open up receptivity and communication.
Hopefully at some point it won't be necessary to have a corporate
connection, while that is still required, your multi company setup
sounds healthier than having just a single corporate entry point.
I am sorry I don't know of any good resource on this and a Google search
did not glean much for me. I seem to recall Dan mentioning an article
in passing one day but may have imagined it.
